Yes, that's correct. According to Islamic belief, the Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation while he was meditating in the Cave of Hira, near Mecca. This event is said to have occurred in the year 610 CE. During this significant moment, he received a message from the Angel Gabriel (Jibril), instructing him to recite and proclaim the oneness of God (Allah) and to convey the message of Islam. This marked the beginning of Muhammad's prophetic mission, during which he preached about monotheism, justice, and moral conduct, ultimately leading to the establishment of Islam as a major world religion.
