Answer Details
The place where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) started receiving the revelations of the Quran is referred to as the Cave of Hira. This cave is located on a mountain named Jabal al-Nour (Mountain of Light) near the city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia. It was in this cave that the angel Gabriel first appeared to the Prophet and conveyed to him the divine message of the Quran. The Prophet used to spend much of his time in this cave in contemplation and prayer before he was called upon to convey the message of Islam to the people. The Cave of Hira is considered a sacred site by Muslims and is frequently visited by pilgrims who perform a hike to the cave to pay their respects and offer prayers.
