What did Muslims believe when Muhammad was praying in mount hira?

That was a period when the last Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him) was contemplating in solitude. He may be anxious to know the purpose for which he had been born. As a bud gets ready to bloom and spread its fragrance all around, so he may be getting ready to shoulder the onerous task of guiding humanity to the right path-the path that leads to ONE and the ONLY God, Allah (SWA).
