APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Mecca - 06 August 2019 Muslim pilgrims pray at Mount Al-Noor during the annual haj pilgrimage in Mecca.

STORYLINE – Mount Al-Noor houses Ghar-E-Hira or Hira cave, where Prophet Mohammad is said to have spent a great deal of time in the cave meditating and it is believed that he had received his first revelation inside this cave.

The Hajj (pilgrimage) is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims, and a mandatory religious duty for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey, and can support their family during their absence.
