The livewire of religion has been discovered to lie on the sacredness of people, places and things. This is the reason why almost all religions have a lot of sites that it sees as being very holy and sacred. Islam as a religion is also handy with a lot of sacred sites seen as the places that the highpoints of the religion has taken place. They are used to remind the believers about the events that shaped and are still shaping the religion, which they musk keep holy and which they must also draw inspiration from. The greatest of the holy sites in Islam includes the great Masjid al-Haraam, which is the location of the holy Ka'aba. This is designated as the house of the great Allah and also the birth place of the prophet Imam Ali b. Abi Taalib. Other things that are located at the Masjid al-Haraam are Hijr Ismail, which is the house of the prophet Ismail, and where he was buried with his mother. It is also believed that 70 other prophets were buried there. Mizabe Rahmah which is located between Rukn Iraqi, and Rukn Shami is known as the golden trough. Rukn al-Aiman is the right-hand corner of the Ka'aba, and it is spoken of by the prophets as the gate to the paradise which has a river running through it and, which has never been shut down since it was opened. Jannat al-Mualla (Cemetery in Makah) is also known as al-hajun, and it is the place where the prophet always visited. This site houses the tomb of many holy men in Islam. Those buried here include Hashim his great grand father, Abdul Muttalib his grandfather, Amina his mother, Abu Talib the father of the first imam of Islam and Khadija his first wife. There is also the cave (ghar) of Hira. This is the cave where the prophet constantly went for his meditation. This area helped him with meditations during his first forty years in life. However, the high point of this is that he received his first revelation here. The next is the cave of Thaur, which is the secret dwelling place of the prophet. In essence, this is the place where the prophet always fled to whenever he was being attacked by his enemies. It served as his hiding place whenever he was migrating to medina. There is also the Fakh, which is regarded as the place where the martyrs of Fakih were all buried. This is the former Miqat-e-Swibyaan. It is here that the descendants of Fatima were killed by Musa al-Hadi al-Abbasi’s soldiers. Can you Zoom to the location and answer the question?
