First Muslim

Posted on at


The First Muslim to make the call the Athan (Muslim call to prayer) from the top of Mount Everest. Farouq Al-Zouman, a Saudi recently climbed Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, which is 29,000 ft above the ground. Farouq said: “The first and foremost secret to my success was that I continuously repeated to myself every day: Nothing is impossible as long as Allah’s power is here." 
Maa shaa Allaah (It is as Allah willed), however, Islam does not allow Muslims to put their lives at risk unnecessarily for such extreme adventures. Virtually every year people from all over the world die trying to climb Everest driven by the desire to conquer nature, fame or glory.
