Journey Through Prophet Muhammad’s Early Encounters:
Pick up from Amman. Today, we embark on a journey tracing Prophet Muhammad’s early encounters. Our first stop is Um Rasas, where Hanif Zeid bin Amir first heard of the prophecy of a coming prophet among his people. Excavations by the Franciscan Archaeological Institute uncovered ancient mosaic floors in the church of St. Stephen, affirming the historical significance of Um Rasas as the place Zeid bin Amir received this prophecy.
Next, we visit the site where Prophet Muhammad met Monk Bahira. Located near Safawi, this was a caravan stop on the route to ‘Bostra of Al-Sham’. Tradition holds that it was here under an ancient tree that the monk first recognized the signs of prophethood in Muhammad.
These sites offer a glimpse into the early influences and encounters that shaped the path of Prophet Muhammad. Drive to Drop off in Amman.
