Iqra takes its name from the first word revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. When the Angel Jibril عليه السلام came to him in the cave of Hira, the command was “Iqra” - Read, marking the beginning of revelation and the guidance of the Qur’an for all of humanity. This word carries profound significance in the life of the Prophet ﷺ and in the history of Islam. While this hijab itself carries no specific symbolic design, its name is a reminder of that powerful moment, honoring the word that began the message of Islam.
