I am in the process of revising my book: Dadi Nani ki Kahaani
I would like to add some more stories.
Please let me know if I have the facts of the stories that follow correct.


Divine Revelation
Dear Children,
When Prophet Mohammed was in his late thirties he used to regularly visit a cave near Mount Hira.
When He was 40 years of age he was visited by angel Gabriel who urged the prophet to proclaim!
Prophet Mohammed was initially reluctant and said: "I am not a proclaimer."
The Angel insisted and commanded the Prophet by saying:

Proclaim in the name of your Lord who created!Created man from a clot of blood.Proclaim: Your Lord is the Most Generous, Who teaches by the pen;
Teaches man what he knew not. (Qur'an 96:1-3)
Dear Children, In simple words, what the Angel was saying was, that the Prophet should state publicly what God wants to tell the world (that they do not know) through him (prophet Mohammed).
Prophet Mohammed's basic message was to have faith in One True God who he called Allah and in righteous action.
Prophet Mohammed always clarified that he was only a prophet. He was not an angel, he did not know the mind of God and he did not perform miracles. He simply preached what he received.
And receive, he did.
The Quran was the outcome!
Quran is considered the spoken Word of God.
Prophet Mohammed was so peace loving that he signed a peace treaty when many of his followers were ready to fight till death.
He could go without a meal for days on end.
One of the moral virtues of the Prophet is ‘kindliness to unbelievers’
As long as you believe in God you cannot be considered an unbeliever.
And as I have said earlier all prophets, saints and Incarnations should be respected.
Why? Because they are lamps that light the way of those who are good and have moved away from the evil path.
Would you not rather be in a bright place rather than a dark one?
I know I would!
With love,
Dadi Ma Nani Ma
