Muhammad didn't believe what had just happened. He had thought that he was going mad. He had finally accepted what had happened and was ready to spread God's messages.
Muhammad did not start off by telling everyone these prophecies. He only told the people that he was closest to like his cousin and his greatest friend.
Muhammad had started spreading these messages to more people and eventually he had a group of followers. These followers started writing down his messages.
