This time round I went up to Jabal Rahmah by climbing the rocks instead of taking the stairs. Mashallah that struggle. It's like finding my Adam who is still in search for me too. Hehe.

Jabal Rahmah is a mountain which is famous for the story of Prophet Adam (as) and Hawa (Eve) love meetings. Jabal Rahmah is on the edge of Padang Arafah which is an area in the eastern outskirts of Makkah. Rahmah means mercy. 

The name was taken from a story believed by Muslims, which is a meeting between Adam and Hawa. So when Adam and Hawa were separated due to breaking a promise of Allah, it was to say that they were thrown out from Paradise and Allah place Prophet Adam somewhere in India while Hawa in Jeddah. And Jabal Rahmah is the place where they both met after 300 long years.

On top of Jabal Rahmah there is a monument made ​​of concrete rectangular with a width of 1.8 meters and a height of 8 meters. A local people believe that the location of the meeting of Adam and Hawa is at the exact point of the monument. Jabal Rahmah itself can be regarded as the hills. Only about 70 meters high and can be climbed only by passing pilgrims which takes about 20 minutes. Near monuments, many pilgrims made Dua for a life-long partner.

Jabal Rahmah is also a place for the historic journey of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). It was there that he received the final revelation of Allah, as well as a complement of the teachings of Islam.

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

"Rabbana hablana min azwaajina, wa dzurriyyatina qurrata a'yuniw, waj'alna lil muttaqiena imaamaa."

"Ya Tuhan kami, anugerahkanlah kepada kami jodoh [isteri-isteri] kami dan keturunan kami sebagai penyenang hati (kami), dan jadikanlah kami imam bagi orang2 yang bertakwa." 

(QS Al-Furqaan 74)

رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِى فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

“ROBBI LAA TADZARNI FARDAN WA ANTA KHOIRUL WAARITSIN”.

"Ya Tuhanku janganlah Engkau membiarkan aku hidup seorang diri dan Engkaulah Waris Yang Paling Baik."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ زَوْجًا طَيِّبًا أَخْطُبُهَ وَأَتَزَوَّجُ بِهِ وَيَكُوْنُ صَاحِبًا لِى فِى الدُنْيَا وَالْأَخِرَة

“ROBBI HABLII MILLADUNKA ZAUJAN THOYYIBAN WAYAKUUNA SHOOHIBAN LII FIDDIINI WADDUNYAA WAL AAKHIROH”.

“Ya Robb, berikanlah kepadaku suami yang terbaik dari sisi-Mu, suami yang juga menjadi sahabatku dalam urusan agama, urusan dunia & akhirat”.
