4. Do not respect and worship the idols.

Reason for its Revelation:

The Holy Prophet ? says, a voice called out to me at Mt. Hira, that Oh Beloved! You are the Messenger of Allah. I looked left and right, but I could not see the speaker. When I looked up, I saw an angel. I became over-awed and said to Hazrat Khadijah Kubra, place a sheet over me. At that point in time, this verse was revealed.
