Cave

edit

The mountain is notable for housing a cave known as Ghār Thawr (Arabic: غَار ثَوْر), in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad took refuge from the Quraysh, during the migration to Medina. For most Muslims, the cave is of religious significance, and is thus visited by many pilgrims and tourists. Mount Thawr is located 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) away from Mecca. In Sunni Islam, it is believed that Muhammad stayed here as a refugee with his companion Abu Bakr.
