THE STRENUOUS CLIMB

Hundreds of Pilgrims are going up on a two hours climb to Jabal al-Nour or "The Mountain of Light", or "Hill of Illumination" near Makkah which houses the famed Ghar-E-Hira or Hira cave. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) spent a great deal of time in the cave meditating and he had received his first revelation through the archangel Gabriel inside this cave from Almighty Allah.
