Jabal al-Nour can be seen in the background. Although the exact origin of its name is unknown, it is believed to be called
Al-Amīn () in
pagan times because the sacred
Black Stone resided there according to
Muslims. According to another report, this mountain was also called the
Maghārat al-Kanz (, "Treasure Cave"), and this was believed to be the place where the first of men stayed and were buried after their death. According to tradition, this is the place where the
Islamic Prophet Muhammad performed the miracle of
splitting the Moon into two pieces and then re-attaching those pieces as demanded by the
disbelievers of
Makkah. ==See also==
