The well of Zam Zam is still there but now instead a well you see some pipes which brings the water supply to the Masjid and to the whole of Makkah. It is said that the water level is the same, and it is pure and free from any kind of dirt or germs. Hills of Safa and Marwa These are the same two hills between which Bibi Hajra ran between them seven times to look for water for Hazrat Ismail.

Allah (SWT) loved this act of hers so much that He made it obligatory on Hajjis who are performing Hajj and Umra.

Janatul-Mualla This is a general cemetery in existence since the time of the Prophet and many Ulemas, relatives of the Prophet (SAW) and many well known personalities are buried here including: Janab al-Khadijatul Kubra She was very rich prosperous and successful businesswoman who entrusted the Prophet of Allah with her caravan going to Syria, Egypt and other places; she later married the Prophet (SAW) at the age of 40. Janab al-Abu Talib He was the father of our first Imam.

He died when the Prophet of Allah was 50 years old. Janab al-Abdul Mutalib He was the Prophet of Islam (SAW) paternal grandfather. Hazrat Abdullah He was the father of our Prophet (SAW) and it is narrated that when Masjid al-Nabawee in Medina was being extended, his grave was dug and his body which was intact was transferred to Jannat-ul-Maulla. Hazrat Amina Bint al-Wahab She was the mother of our Prophet (SAW) who died when he was only 5 years old.

Some historians say that she is buried at Jannatul-Mualla and some say she is buried at a place called Abawa. Masjid al-Jinn A group of Jinn were passing by, when they heard the Prophet of Allah (SAW) reciting the Holy Quran. They were so moved and came to the Prophet, repented and accepted Islam. A Masjid was later built here called Masjid al-Jinn. Cave of Thawr During the Hijrah the Holy Prophet (SAW) (with Abu Bakr) stayed here for three days.

The Miraculous incident of a spider’s web and a pigeon laying eggs occurred at the mouth of this cave. This misled the trackers and the Prophet of Allah (SAW) was safe. Cave of Hira The first ‘revelation’ of “Iqra Bismi Rabbek” was revealed here. Arafah It is also known as the ‘tent’ city that comes into existence only one day in a year and this on the 9th of Dhulhijja when all Hajjis are required to stay here from Dhohar until Maghrib.

It is said that this is the first place where Prophet Adam A.S. and Bibi Havva met for the first time after they were asked to leave Jannat.
