Now the Prophet, peace be upon him, he was reflecting on the status of the society that he lived in.
We said like he simply just could not be okay with the fact that things in his community were not good.
Whether it was the way that people were treated or whether it was the way that the morals were decaying, it bothered him.
And he also wasn't okay with the true human essence of connecting to the Creator.
So even though revelation had not come in the form of the Qur'an, there was still this understanding of like true connection to the creator and what a person, what that does to a person, how that changes their character, it changes how they act, right? The reason why at the end of the day, the reason why we do the right thing in a moment where we could get away with something else is because we know that one day we're gonna have to answer.
And this is the right thing that my creator wants me to do, right? Even though I could get away with it, theoretically.
So he had all of these kind of reflective moments, and what he did, again, in an attempt to strengthen and to kind of come up with solutions for his community, himself, his family, was he would spend time away in the cave of Hira, and he would reflect, and he would spend that time reflecting.
Now, we didn't get to the, I wanted to get to the question where we reflected a little bit ourselves and talked about what this was for us in our lives.
And we started, and I think we had one sister, I think her name is Alina, she was sharing a little bit, right, about how, you know, in the middle of her MCAT, in the middle of prepping to take her MCAT, which for a lot of people in the medical career, besides the boards, like might be the most, you know, intense and important exam, You know, there's this immersion that you put yourself in when you study for something like that.
When you're studying for the MCAT or when you're studying for any kind of regulatory or any kind of exam, board exam, you need to immerse yourself because that's what it requires.
And she said that there was a point where like she was doing it so much that at that point that she reached, like she felt like she was kind of like disconnecting from her true self.
And so in the middle of this study, in the middle of this rigorous regimen, she just like removed herself from it and just took a couple days and just allowed her mind and her body and her soul really to reset.
Now, before we talk about what happened in the cave itself, I wanted to first make sure that we all understood and appreciated that this is something that even though the moment itself is specific to the Prophet , it is a practice that we should and that we can involve ourselves in.
