D. Muhammad meditated in a cave outside Mecca
Explanation:
- Because he lived in an area that was geographically an important crossroads of trade routes, and often traveled by caravans, he was familiar with the practices and beliefs of Christians living in oases in southern Arabia and Jews living in and around Medina, along with Mecca, an important center in the Arabian Peninsula.
- Biographers generally state that in the period before receiving the announcement, Muhammad, like his grandfather, practiced going to solitude for meditation during the month of Ramadan (which is the name of the ninth month in the Arabic lunar calendar).
- Most often he lived in a cave known as Ghar Hira ("Cave of Finding") at the top of Mount Jebelunur ("Mountain of Light").
- It is believed that sometime in 610, when he was forty, Muhammad began to receive a revelation from God, precisely in that cave, through the melee (angel) of Jibril. On one of the last nights of Ramadan Melek Jibril addressed Muhammad with his first announcement.
