I need to create a mini comic thing on a A4 sheet of paper about what happened in the cave when Angel Jibral spoke to Muhammed (what did he say?) and also I need to know what Muhammed does after he talks with the angel (basically where did he go afterwards or any other info). Thanks

Hmmmm...a "comic" on Mohammed? The Danes did that and got the entire Muslim world in an uproar over it. Of course...I'll reserve my opinion of those stooges later. They make great fodder for poking fun at.

According to the Qur'an, Jibrail (the Angel Gabriel) appeared to Muhammed and said one word, 'Iqra!', which means to 'read' or 'recite'. Muhammed was terrified, and the angel held him in a painful embrace. Muhammed said 'I am not a reciter', meaning either that he was not a soothsayer or was illiterate (both were true, but no one knows which he meant), but the angel continued to embrace Muhammd until Muhammed pronounced the first words of the Qur'an:
'Recite in the name of thy Lord who created!
He createth man from a clot of blood.
Recite: and thy Lord is the Most Bountiful
He who hath taught by the pen
taught man what he knew not.'
Muhammed was so scared he thought he had gone insane or been possessed by some kind of spirit, so he ran outside the cave which he had been meditating in when the angel had appeared and tried to throw himself off it (he was apparently that disturbed by the whole thing), where again before him he saw the angel, who stood like a huge man, his feet actually on the horizon. According to Muhammed, the angel then said, 'O Muhammed! thou art the apostle of God and I am Gabriel.' Muhammed claims that he then tried to escape by looking around him, but everywhere he looked he saw the angel, and the angel's beating wings filled every corner of the sky, with a terrible and mighty noise.
The whole experience certainly doesn't seem like a happy one, more that Muhammed was so shocked he thought himself insane, and he later thought it was the terrifying power of God that disturbed him so much, in a sort of otherwordly, unimaginable experience.
Afterwards, he apparently went home, where his wife, Khadija, had to convince him that what he had seen was real. She is said to be the first believer for this reason.
If you look at accounts of other prophets in other religions, particularly older Jewish texts, meeting angels or God, there are a lot of similar themes with this. Also, in Islam, it's disputed as to what actually happened, but this is a good, general version :)

If I'm not mistaken, the cave was called Cave Thawer. And it was on Mount Hira.
I was always taught that he said to Muhammed 'Icra [Read]'
and Muhammad said that he couldn't read (he was illiterate)
and the angel said again, 'Icra'
and Muhammad again said he couldn't.
And then the angel said [Read in the name of thy lord or something to that effect]
and then Muhammad started reading and that's how the Quran was revealed to him (over the course of the rest of his life).

He stoned a few million women to death, killed a few hundred million other muslims that worshipped slightly differently, burned down all the schools he could get his hands on, he then married a child and had peodophile sex and then proceeded to convert violent backward retards into his way of life (this was the easiest part as they were very alike).

i am with {Quasimodo} because ur not suppose to draw prophet Mohamed and u and the whole world must respect Islam and our prophet just like Muslims who respect Christians and Jews, the Muslims never drew a comic of anything in their religion.
