Description
Explore the holy places of Makkah starting from Masjid-e-Nimra. First, pass by Makkah, a city in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia. The city is the birthplace of the Profit Muhammad (PBUH). Makkah is home to the Kaaba, one of Islam's holiest sites and the direction of Muslim prayer. Arrive in Mina, seven kilometers east of the Masjid al-Haram, where Hajj pilgrims sleep overnight on the 8th, 11th, and 12th (and some even on the 13th) of Dhul Hijjah. You can see the Jamarat, the three stone pillars that are pelted by pilgrims as part of the rituals of Hajj. The trip continues to Jabal-e-Rehmat. Also known as Jabal-Ar-Rahmah or the Mount of Mercy, Mount Arafat is a hill in the valley of Arafat outside Makkah where the Prophet (PBUH) gave his last sermon after completing Hajj. Next, head to Muzdalifa, an open, level area near Mecca in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia that is associated with the Ḥajj. It lies just southeast of Mina, on the route between Mina and Arafat. At Arafat, Ẓuhr, and Asr prayers are performed in a combined form during the time of Zuhr. At Thowr Mountain (or Jabal Thawr), see the cave in which the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought refuge for three days and nights from the Quraysh, as they left Makkah and emigrated to Madinah. The next stops are Jabal al-Nour and Mount Hira (Jabal Hira). Near the top of the mountain is a small cave, a little less than 4 meters in length and a little more than one and a half meters in width. It was here that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) received the first revelations of the Holy Quran during the month of Ramadhan in 610 CE. The mountain is also known as Jabal Noor (the Mountain of Light). Continue to Masjid Jinn, also known as Masjid Haras, is built on the place where the Prophet (ﷺ) drew a line for Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him), who had accompanied him after he had been commanded to recite the Qur’an to the Jinn. After Masjid Jinn, pass Masjid-e-Shajar, Masjid-e-Qamar, and Jannat-al-Moulla before returning to the meeting point.Includes
