Mount Abu Qubais - First Mountain on earth

 

The first ever Mountain created by Allah Almighty. This mountain is directly opposite the Ka’aba close to Mount Safa. Hazrat Adam [AS] took rocks from this mountain when he built the Ka'aba very first time on earth. After building the Ka'aba, Prophet Ibrahim [AS] stood on this mountain and called mankind to come and worship Allah. When Hazrat Nooh [AS] flood came the Hajrey Aswad [The Black Stone] was placed over this mountain. When the Holy Prophet [PBUH] first started preaching Islam publicly, he stood on Jabal Abu Qubais and called mankind to submit to Allah. It was whilst he was on this mountain that Holy Prophet [PBUH] split the moon in two. Prophet Mohammad Mustafa [saww] showed the miracle of Splitting the moon into two halves over this mountain. After the conquest of Makkah Hazrat Bilal Habashi [RA] recited Azaan over this mountain. This mountain had a small Mosque on it called Bilal Mosque. This Mosque is no more here. Beautiful palace of king has been built here and this spot has come in the palace. Today this mountain is better recognized by the large tunnels carved through it.
