Correct answer: He was said to have received a message from an angel.
Explanation: Islamic belief is that Muhammad received revelation from God (Allah) delivered by the angel Gabriel (Jibril), beginning in the cave of Hira around 610 CE. While Muhammad later became a political and military leader, that was not why he became a prophet. He did have prophetic dreams, but the defining event was Gabriel’s revelation, not a simple sleeping vision. The idea of being visited by several gods is incorrect — Islam is strictly monotheistic and recognizes only one God, Allah.
