The Cave of Hira

Almost three miles away from Makkah Mukarramah is a mountain called ‘Jabal Hira’ on which the ‘Hira cave’ is situated. He صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمoften stayed in the peaceful environment of this cave along with food and drink, worshipping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for many days. When he صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمran out of food and water, sometimes, he صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمwould fetch them from home and, at times, Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا would bring them to the cave. Even today, this luminous cave is situated and is reverently [i.e. respectfully] visited by countless people.1
