We have reached the top here
and the surprise part was, when you reach the top,
the cave is not up there!
You have to come down here
and the cave is on the other side. You have to come down here and the stairs here
are pretty steep
It's Pretty Dark here
no one is here, we saw one person by the cave
and we are slowly
and carefully making our way
down here
Tonight
began the
last ten days
of the month of Ramadan
and Allah (swt) says
in the Quran
that the Quran was revealed
in the month of Ramadan
And the Quran
Was revealed in the month of Ramadan
and the first verses
of the Quran
were revealed onto Muhammad (saw)
in this cave here.
The cave is in the mountain
called Jabal al-Noor.
"The Mountain of Light"
The cave is called Ghar-e-Hira
And that's where we're going
because
that is
where RasulAllah (saw)
used to go
to meditate.
alone by himself
before
the revelation
of the first verses.
It was here in this cave
that we're going to
that will be seeing momentarily
is where
Sayyidna Jibrael (a.s) came
and had revealed
the first verses.
and now
my companion here is asking me how to get down
when he sees
the stairs
right in front of him!
And he has a Light
and a cane with him
and yet he's helpless.
I jumped on it
You step here and then one step here
unintelligible
You don't need the cane.
I am going to go here
unintelligible
Over here
there are two ways
one way we can go from here
which is very narrow as you can see
If you stand over here
where I am pointing the light
you're not going to be able to see or tell that there is a way
to go from here
but you see here that there is sign painted here that says "Bab Ghaar"
and there is a arrow pointing
which indicates to us that there is a way over there
but for some of our Brothers and Sisters who might not be able to
fit from there,
there's an alternate route that takes you from here
You have to climb these rocks here and then go around around
and then climb up again and then descend from the top.
So
my friend here once again
is suggesting
that we go from this route so we will go from this way
and... I will lead the way while
my cameraman is behind me
taking some pictures
unintelligible
We're going down the cave
one thing that i wanna
mention here is look at how this cave is
the way this is
and how difficult this might have been
and we're talking about fourteen hundred plus years ago
when RasulAllah (saw) used to come here
to be all alone
in the cave
to remember Allah (swt).
and I am hearing some disturbance in the background here
and
my friend seems to me a little lost here
when
there's no way to get lost here!
But yet somehow he manages to
unintelligible
unintelligible
and he is now
pretending
that he is not lost
and now
I got both of my hands full
I got a camera in one of my hands and a flashlight in the other
It's a little difficult for me to navigate
so what I'm going to do
is i will stick this flashlight here
It's completely dark
and as you can see it's
pretty difficult to get through here
So I am going to
squeeze right through here.
I don't know if my Friend is going to be able to do this.
Tight Squeeze!
As you can see he is not that skinny you know!
Man this is really a tight squeeze!
See what I mean!
He thinks he is going to be able to squeeze through there
Now, this will give us a better view
unintelligible
unintelligible
attempting to squeeze
through this narrow gap here
and seems like he is stuck!
He is trying to call 911 but it's not working!
He wants me to take a picture
He wants me to take picture of him
unintelligible
he wants me to record
this Historic moment
Now, he hasn't even made it through there
but yet he is asking us about
coming back from there!
now we see
that he is
possibly
stuck over there!
He throws the cane
in a fit of anger
and he is stuck
and we can't get the jaws of life (Rescue Equipment) over here.
aaand, it looks like a Miracle just happened!
and we have our assistant here in the background
our light man
our A/V guy
and he is making his way from there
and it looks like it wasn't too difficult for him.
He made it in about 10 seconds while our friend over here
took about twenty minutes
to get through there!
Now as you can see here, there is some writing over here
saying MashAllah, TabarakAllah, and Allah and Muhammad and Jaba al Noor and Ghar e Hira
and you see BismiAllah hir rahman nir raheem
Iqra bismi rabbikalazi khalaq....
These were the first verses
that were revealed onto Muhammad (saw) and
you see here it says Jabal e Noor, Ghar-e-Hira
even though, I have been here a few times before,
this is my first time
that I came here
at nighttime
to this historical place
as your about to see
as when I turn around
you'll be looking at
the place where the first revelation came.
