The scapegoat. An age-old tradition imbued with deep symbolism. Here, at the foot of Mount Thabir, that very act of atonement finds its historical roots. Mount Thabir, rising east of Mecca, stands as a silent witness to the poignant story of Prophet Abraham. It is believed to be the very place where, tested by God, Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son, Ishmael. At the last moment, a divine decree replaced Ishmael with a sacrificial ram. This act of faith, echoing through millennia, is commemorated by Muslims around the world. Every year, pilgrims journey to Mount Thabir. They retrace the steps of history and symbolically sacrifice animals, a potent reminder of Abraham’s unwavering devotion and God’s infinite mercy. The slopes of Mount Thabir, steeped in reverence and echoing with ancient stories, offer a glimpse into the heart of Islamic history.
