 '''Biʿtha''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|بِعثَة}}) means selection of prophet by God for guidance of people. The [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] in the age of forty in the [[Hira' cave]] in [[Nur Mountain]] (close to [[Mecca]]) has been selected as prophet and the first verses of [[Sura al-'Alaq]] has been revealed to him. The Bi'tha, according to Shi'a point of view, was the beginning of Islam and occurred in [[Rajab 27]], 13 years before [[Hijra]] ([[June 28]], 610).
