AP PHOTOS: Islamic site near Mecca among few still preserved
Just outside the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia lies one of Islam's most
important historical sites — a cave where, according to tradition, the
Prophet Muhammad spent time in seclusion, contemplation and
self-reflection.
It was here, inside Hira Cave located near the top of a steep hill called Noor Mountain, where Muslims believe God revealed to the prophet the first verses of the Quran through the angel Jebril, or Gabriel as he is named in English.

World heavyweight championship between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman
This is a Oct. 30, 1974 file photo of Muhammad Ali as he watches George
Foreman head for the canvas after being knocked out in the eighth round
of their match in Kinshasa, Zaire. It was nearly 42 years ago that two
men met just before dawn on Oct. 30, 1974, to earn $5 million in the
Rumble in the Jungle. In one of boxing's most memorable moments,
Muhammad Ali stopped the fearsome George Foreman to recapture the
heavyweight title in the impoverished African nation of Zaire.
