Gua (The cave of) Hira'

Setelah beberapa lama sampailah kita ke satu tempat yang sangat ingin saya ziarahi di Mekah...

After some time so we reached a place which I really wanted to visit in Mecca...

Awal pagi selepas Subuh Rabu 10 April 2013. Pemandangan di hadapan Gua Hira' menunjukkan sudah ramai pengunjung menunggu mahu masuk ke dalam.

Morning after Subuh (the before dawn prayers). The view in front of the cave of Hira' shows many visitors already waiting to get inside.

Gua ini terletak ke bawah sedikit dari puncak bukit yang dipanggil Jabal Nur. Ini adalah pemandangan dari atas batu sekitar 10-15 meter ke bawah puncak.

This cave is located a bit lower than the summit of the hill called Jabal Nur. This is a view from on top a rock about 10-15 metres below the summit.

Di sinilah Nabi Muhammad SAW sering mengasingkan diri dari masyarakat Mekah zaman jahiliyah. Di sinilah kemudian baginda mendapat wahyu yang menyuruh baginda berdakwah menyebarkan Islam.

It was here that Prophet Muhammad SAW often secluded himself from the community of Mecca during its ignorant time. It was here then he received the revelation asking him to preach and spread Islam.

Guanya tidak sebesar mana, sekadar muat 2-3 orang dewasa berdiri.

The cave is not that big, just enough to contain 2-3 standing adults.

Ini adalah gambar yang diambil malam sebelumnya. Untuk pengetahuan saya dan isteri telah bermalam di sini. Lihat artikel Climbing up Jabal Nur in the dark di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH.
