Default What do you know about Mount Qaf?


Tonight a brother spoke something about a mystical mount called Qaf. It aroused my curiosity. I read on the Internet that it is related to the Arab mythology and Jinns. Have you heard anything?

not sure about ulemah, some sufis have written about it like Rumi who has mentioned it in his poetry, from the book i read lol they suggested the language of the people of mount Qaf was either pashto or farsi
some people say it is the place where Khidr AS and Imam Mahdi are

I have heard it is mountain on a ringed planet (possibly saturn) - My Sheikh mentioned this before he gave a discourse on Suratul Qaf - I wasn't about to interrupt his discourse to ask him to elaborate, so I never got a solid explanation.

It is said that: the “Qaaf” is a mountain range which encompasses the entire world, beyond it is the Primordial Griffon which surrounds everything, and is the Veil of the Sustaining Lord, no one knows of it except the one who attains the station of the heart. The only one disclosed to this Primordial Veil is the one who has become disclosed to this Mountain which swears by means of it. In the meaning of the words of Allah ta`ala: “He created the heavens without any supports which you can see.” Al-Layth said: “The meaning of this verse is that you cannot see its supports, yet it has supports, because its support is the Mountain of Qaaf which encompasses this entire world as well as the heavens like a primordial dome.” It is said that the blueish green color of the heavens from this
Mountain. It will be transformed on the Day of Judgment into fire which will drive all of mankind to the place of the Gathering.

Source: Commentary on the Al-Munaajat of Sh. Uthman Fodio by Shaykh Muhammad Shareef
How Dhu ’l-Qarnayn went to Mount Qáf and made petition, saying, “O Mount Qáf, tell me of the
majesty of the Attributes of God”; and how Mount Qáf said that the description of His majesty is
ineffable, since (all) perceptions vanish before it; and how Dhu ’l-Qarnayn made humble supplication,
saying, “Tell of His works that thou hast in mind and of which it is more easy for thee to speak.”
Dhu ’l-Qarnayn went towards Mount Qáf: he saw that it was (made) of pure emerald,

And that it had become a ring surrounding the (whole) world. He was amazed at that immense creation
(work of God).
He said, “Thou art the mountain (indeed): what are the others? for beside thy magnitude they are (but)
playthings.”
It replied, “Those (other) mountains are my veins: they are not like unto me in beauty and glory.

I have a hidden vein in every land: (all) the regions of the world are fastened to my veins.
When God wills an earthquake in any land, He bids me and I cause the vein to throb.
Then I make to move mightily the vein with which the (particular) land is connected.
When He says ‘Enough!’ my vein rests. I am (apparently) at rest, but actually I am in rapid motion”—
At rest, like the (medicinal) ointment, and very active (efficacious); at rest, like the intellect, while the
speech (impelled) by it is moving.

In the opinion of him whose intelligence does not perceive this, earthquakes are caused by
terrestrial vapours.
