The sacred city of Mecca holds unparalleled significance for Muslims worldwide. As the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and home to the Kaaba, it is a center of Islamic history and spirituality. On 8 April 2013, a bus-guided Umrah journey in Mecca provided pilgrims with the opportunity to connect deeply with its historical locations, relive key moments in Islamic history, and strengthen their faith.

The journey began with a visit to Masjid Al-Haram, the holiest mosque in Islam. Pilgrims performed Umrah rituals, including Tawaf around the Kaaba, Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, and drinking Zamzam water. The guide emphasized the significance of these rituals and the spiritual essence of being in this blessed sanctuary.
Jabal Al-Nour and the Cave of Hira
The pilgrims were guided to Jabal Al-Nour, where the Cave of Hira is located. This is where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) received the first revelation from Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).
