Ibrar hussain
โ โ โ โ โ Edited 2 years agoWent up with kids, the weather was beautiful. It was a lovely place to visit. Historical place. Had for older people to get to the top. Try to set off early in the morning if you want to go to the top. I would not recommend old people to try to go up. Take water bottles with you. There are some small shops on the way where you can buy fruit and water. Took us 45 minutes to get to the top. Depends on your pace.

โ โ โ โ โ 5 months agoVisiting Jabal-e-Thaur was an incredibly emotional experience. Looking up at the mountain, you realize the immense struggle the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) went through for the sake of Islam. This is where the miraculous story of the spider web and the nesting bird took place, protecting them from their pursuers. It is a steep and challenging climb if you choose to go up, but even standing at the base and reflecting on the "Ghar-e-Thaur" (Cave of Thaur) is a spiritual journey in itself. A truly humbling place that reminds you of the power of "Tawakkul" (trust in Allah).
