    UAE-based Indian amputee footballer climbs 640-metre tall Jebel Al-Noor

    Abu Dhabi: In a remarkable display of grit and determination, a UAE-based Indian amputee footballer climbed the historic 640-metre-tall Jebel Al-Noor mountain in Makkah.

    Climbing the steps of the mountain using his crutches, Mohammed Shafeeq inspired millions around the world. His feat is not just a physical feat, but a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.

    Jebel Al-Noor is a mountain in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia, with great religious significance for the Muslim community. It is the site of the cave where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation from Allah.

    When the 34-year-old reached the summit, Shafeeq was greeted by many pilgrims who were inspired by his tenacity and courage.

    Shafeeq, who hails from Malappuram district in Kerala, was overwhelmed with the love and support he received and felt proud of having accomplished something that is difficult for many healthy people.

    He was also accompanied by three friends, who work in Saudi Arabia, during the holy month of Ramzan.

    “We started the climb around 6 am from the base after the dawn prayer. It took me around one hour and 45 minutes to reach the peak. Usually, normal people take around one and a half hours.”

    “I feel very blessed about it. This experience also made me realise how much struggle the Prophet [PBUH] might have faced while climbing this mountain back in those days.”

    Shafeeq told Gulf News.

    Shafeeq lost his right leg above the knee in a tragic accident in 2004 when he was a teenager. His journey to the summit is the latest in a series of remarkable achievements in his life.

    In November 2022, Shafeeq walked all the way up the UAE’s highest mountain Jebel Jais using crutches.

    In March last year, he represented India for the first time in the West Asian Football Championship for Amputees which was held in Kish Island, Iran.

    In 2021, Shafeeq also climbed the steep Wayanad Ghat in Kerala state to show his solidarity with the farmers’ protest in India.

    Taraweeh prayers

    In a heartwarming incident that has taken the internet by storm, a cat was captured on video climbing onto an imam during Taraweeh prayers, a special form of prayers offered during the holy month of Ramzan.

    In the video, the cat can be seen jumping onto the imam’s shoulder, almost licking him as it tries to find a comfortable spot. However, instead of being perturbed by the animal’s presence, the imam acknowledges it with a gentle pet, while the worshippers maintain their concentration and continue their prayers, with their eyes closed.

    After the incident that took place in a mosque in Bordj Bou Arreridf, Algeria, in North Africa, video went viral on social media, with millions of views within a few hours.
