The Birth Place of Prophet Ebrahim (upon him bepeace) in Urfa is a
famous pilgrimage site where devotees go to pray
and pay respects to one of history’s most revered
prophets.
He is believed to have been born in a cave in Urfa
where he spent about ten years of his life as
protection against the cruel King Nimrod who
then ordered all newborn children killed upon
learning of Abraham’s coming birth.
A praying area in the cave was constructed, but
the exact spot where Abraham was born is
protected by a glass encasement. There are also
faucets where devotees wash their hands with
holy water.
Entrance to the cave is via the same courtyard
shared with the Mevlid-I Halil Mosque.
