Pilgrimage to sacred sites is a fundamental aspect of nearly all religions. The Kaaba, meaning cube in Arabic, is a square structure beautifully draped in a silk and cotton veil. Situated in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, it is the most revered shrine in Islam.
All Muslims aim to perform the hajj, or annual pilgrimage, to the Kaaba at least once in their lifetime if they are able. Praying five times daily and undertaking the hajj are two of the five pillars of Islam, which are the core tenets of the faith.

Mount Arafat - Jabal-ur-Rehman (Mountain of Mercy) is located on the plain of Arafat. Standing at Arafat is a crucial requirement of Hajj, and pilgrims gather here on the 9th Dhul Hijjah (the second day of Hajj).
The word Arafat commonly means ‘to know’. After being removed from Jannah and placed on Earth, it was here that Adam (peace be upon him) and Hawa (peace be upon her) reunited.
Standing on Arafat is an indispensable part of the Hajj; missing it means missing Hajj, as the Prophet (ﷺ) stated: “Hajj is Arafat.” [al-Hakim] -
Jabal Thawr Road - Mount Thawr (or Jabal Thawr) is the mountain that contains the cave where the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought refuge for three days and nights from the Quraysh, as they departed Makkah and emigrated to Madinah. Following Jabal Thawr, the final attraction will be Canal Sakeena.

Mosque of Al-Khayf - Masjid al-Khaif in Mina is a historic mosque believed to be where Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail. It is also known as the “Mosque of the Prophets” because numerous prophets, including Prophet Muhammad, are said to have prayed there. The mosque is a significant site during Hajj and has been rebuilt and expanded over the centuries, with recent renovations adding modern amenities.

Muzdalifa - Muzdalifah (مُزْدَلِفَة) is an open, level area near Mecca in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia associated with the Ḥajj (“Pilgrimage”). It lies just southeast of Mina, on the route between Mina and Arafat.
The stay at Muzdalifah follows a day at Arafat, involving glorifying Allāh, repeating the Dua, repenting to Allah, and seeking His forgiveness. At Arafat, Ẓuhr and ʿAṣr prayers are performed in a combined and shortened form during the time of Zuhr. After sunset on the ninth day of the Islamic month of Dhūl-Ḥijjah, Muslim pilgrims travel to Muzdalifah, sometimes arriving at night due to overcrowding. Upon arrival at Muzdalifah, pilgrims perform the Maghrib and ʿIshāʾ prayers together, with the Isha prayer shortened to 2 rakats. -
Nimrah Mosque - The mosque above is Masjid Nimrah, located on the plain of Arafat. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Arafat on his farewell Hajj on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah 10 AH (632 CE), he camped here. After midday, he delivered his famous sermon (reproduced below) at Waadi Urana nearby while seated on his camel, after which he led the salah. More than 100,000 Sahabah accompanied him on this Hajj.
-
Mina - Mina, located seven kilometers east of the Masjid al-Haram, is where Hajj pilgrims spend the night on the 8th, 11th, 12th (and some even on the 13th) of Dhul Hijjah. It contains the Jamarat, the three stone pillars that pilgrims pelt as part of the Hajj rituals.
-
Al Mashar Al Haram Mosque - Masjid Mashair Ul Haram is situated in Muzdalifah, Mecca, and is significant because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed there during the Farewell Pilgrimage. Its history includes humble beginnings in the 9th century CE, followed by numerous renovations and expansions by various rulers, including Mamluk Emirs and Sultans, and the Ottomans. In modern times, the mosque was reconstructed and expanded during the Saudi era in 1975 CE.
-
Jabal-e-Rehmat - Also known as Jabal-Ar-Rahmah or the Mount of Mercy, Mount Arafat is a hill in the valley of Arafat outside Makkah where the Prophet (pbuh) delivered his last sermon after completing Hajj. It is mandatory for pilgrims to leave Mina and reach Mount Arafat on the 9th Dhu’al Hijjah and spend the day praying, doing Dhik’r, and seeking forgiveness from Allah (SWT). Standing in Arafat is an essential part of Hajj, and it is considered invalid if a pilgrim fails to reach here.
-
Jabal al-Nour - Mount Hira (Jabal Hira), located about two miles from the Ka’bah, features a small cave near the top, measuring a little less than 4 meters in length and a little more than one and a half meters in width. It was here that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) received the first revelations of the Holy Quran during the month of Ramadhan in 610 CE. The mountain is also known as Jabal Noor (the Mountain of Light).
-
Hira Cave, Jabal Al-Nour - The history of the Cave of Hira is intertwined with the Prophet Muhammad’s spiritual retreat and the site of the first Quranic revelation. Before Islam, Prophet Muhammad would retreat to the cave on Jabal al-Nour mountain to meditate and seek solitude. It was in 610 CE, at about age 40, that the Angel Gabriel appeared to him in the cave, delivering the first verses of the Holy Quran.
-
Masjid-Al-Jinn - Masjid Jinn, also known as Masjid Haras, is built on the site where the Prophet (ﷺ) drew a line for Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him), who had accompanied him after he was commanded to recite the Qur’an to the Jinn.
After Masjid Jinn, the guide will proceed to Masjid-e-Shajar, Masjid-e-Qamar, and Jannat-al-Moulla. -
Al-Fateh Mosque - There is no record of an Al-Fateh Mosque in Makkah; however, there is a historic Al-Fateh Mosque in Madinah (not Makkah) that is one of the Seven Mosques. It was named “Al-Fatah” (victory) because the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed there, and the Surah Al-Fath was revealed during the Battle of the Trench. The mosque has been rebuilt and renovated multiple times, most recently as part of the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Project for the Development of Historical Mosques.

Makkah is among the world’s oldest cities and holds the highest sanctity in Islam. As per Islamic tradition, it was initially inhabited when Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) left his wife Hajar and son Ismail (A.S.) in the desert valley. Allah miraculously brought forth the spring of Zamzam, leading to the gradual settlement of people in the area.
Ibrahim (A.S.) and Ismail (A.S.) later constructed the Kaaba, establishing Makkah as a center of worship. Over time, Arab tribes settled around the Kaaba, transforming the city into a significant hub for trade and pilgrimage.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was born in Makkah in 570 CE, and it was here that he began preaching Islam. After enduring years of struggle, the Prophet (ﷺ) returned triumphantly and cleansed the Kaaba of idol worship.
Since then, Makkah has remained the spiritual core of Islam, attracting millions annually for “Hajj and Umrah.”
Makkah Ziyarat involves visiting the sacred sites associated with the life of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the history of Islam.
