'''Hira''' ({{lang-ar|حراء}} ''{{transl|sem|Ḥirāʾ}}'') or the '''Cave of Hira''' (غار حراء ''{{transl|sem|Ġār Ḥirāʾ}}'') is a cave on the peak named [[Jabal al-Nour|Jabal an-Nūr]] in the [[Hijaz]] region of present day [[Saudi Arabia]]. The cave itself is about 4 meters in length and 1.75 meters in width.
It is notable for being the location where [[Muslims]] believe [[Muhammad]] received [[Muhammad's first revelation|his first revelations]] from [[Allah]] through the angel [[Gabriel|Jibraile]].
