This painting represents Muhammed receiving the first qur’anic revelation and the annunciation of his prophecy. Gabriel brought down the message from God in the cave of Hira’ in Mecca where Muhammed meditated during the month of Ramadan.
Although, figurative representation of Muhammed is generally prohibited in Islam, there had been a tradition between 14th and 16th century of depicting Muhammed in manuscripts’ illuminations.
