Climb to Light: A Spiritual Journey Up Jabal Al Nour

Jabal Al Nour, or the "Mountain of Light," stands as one of Islam’s most sacred sites near Makkah, Saudi Arabia. This mountain is home to the renowned Cave of Hira, where Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) received the first revelation of the Quran from the Angel Jibril, marking the beginning of the Islamic message. Rising about 642 meters above sea level, the hike up Jabal Al Nour is steep and challenging, yet profoundly spiritual—drawing pilgrims and visitors who wish to reflect at the very spot where history changed forever. From the summit, one is rewarded with breathtaking views of Makkah, making it not just a physical journey but a deeply moving spiritual ascent. #travel #malaysia
