Waraqah bin Naufal (bahasa Arab: ورقه بن نوفل) adalah sepupu Khadijah istri Muhammad, salah satu orang yang pertama kali memeluk Islam. Nama lengkapnya adalah Waraqah bin Nawfal bin Assad bin Abd al-Uzza bin Qusayy Al-Qurashi.
Waraqah dulunya seorang yang beragama Nasrani yang tinggal di Mekkah. Dia mengetahui tentang kenabian Muhammad dari Injil. Ketika dia dibacakan tentang Surah Al-'Alaq, ia mengetahui bahwa Muhammad seorang nabi.
Diriwayatkan oleh Aisyah, “...Nabi kembali kepada Khadijah disaat jantungnya berdetak dengan cepat. Lalu Khadijah membawanya kepada Waraqah bin Naufal, seorang nasarah dan seorang pembaca Injil dalam bahasa Arab. Waraqa bertanya (kepada nabi), ”Apa yang kamu lihat?” Di saat nabi menceritakannya, Waraqah menjawab, “Itu adalah malaikat yang oleh Allah utus kepada Musa. Andai aku masih hidup hingga engkau menerima wahyu, pastilah aku akan mendukungmu sekuat tenaga.” (HR. Bukhari)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waraka_ibn_NawfalWaraka ibn Nawfal (Arabic: ورقة بن نوفل) was the parental cousin of Khadija, the first wife of the prophet Muhammad, and was also the son of Muhammad's great-grandfather Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf's half brother Nawfal ibn Abd Manaf. Waraka was a Christian Ebionites priest and is revered in Islamic tradition for being one of the first monotheists to believe in the prophecy of Muhammad.[1]
[edit]Life
According to the Islamic sources, Waraka was a Christian Ebionites priest[2] living in Mecca, and one who had made detailed studies of the Gospels and the Old Testament scriptures. Muslim tradition maintains that Waraka was one of the believers in the Age of Ignorance, meaning that he was a believer before the prophecy of Muhammad. Waraka would frequently contemplate and pray at the Kaaba and began to read the Biblical texts in their original language and even learned to read Hebrew. Around this time, Waraka, with another member of his tribe, is said to have found Muhammad as a young infant and immediately returned him to Abdul Muttalib[disambiguation needed], which has been interpreted to be a foreshadowing to his acceptance of Muhammad's prophecy. As Muhammad grew in age, Waraka's knowledge of the sacred scriptures increased. Several years later, when told of Muhammad's first revelation (which is understood to be Q. XCVI: 1-5), Waraka recognized his call to prophecy as authentic and tradition recounts Waraka saying: "There has come to him the greatest Law that came to Moses; surely he is the prophet of this people".[3][4] Waraka, upon accepting Muhammad's prophecy, remained a Christian and, in later accounts, was counted among Muhammad's companions. Muhammad is later said to have said of Waraka: "Do not slander Waraka ibn Nawfal, for I have seen that he will have one or two gardens in Paradise."[5]

He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as God wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" God's Apostle described whatever he had seen and listened. Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets whom God had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." God's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while."
