It was still in the early stages of the Prophet’s Da’wah (salla Allahu alayhi wassalam); and the mockery and persecution was intensifying.
Our dear Prophet found comfort, solace, and support in the revelation (wahy) of Quran. But right at this moment, revelation ceased and days if not weeks passed without any visitation from Jibreel (alayhissalam). To add to his anxiety, the Makkans began taunting Rasoolullah claiming his Lord has abandoned and detested him (إن محمدا قد ودعه ربه وقلاه).
