What’s the best way to start off your new year? Maybe a special diet, a new exercise regimen, or even a promise to read every day…

But what about a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in 2023; an unmissable opportunity to visit the city where Islam began and help change the lives of hundreds of children forever?

Sound exciting? Then read on about our Mountains of Makkah challenge!

 

The Journey of a Lifetime

This is your chance to join Charity Right in its journey of reflection and discovery. We’ll be traveling all the way to the two holiest cities in Islam – Makkah and Madinah. There, you’ll be able to perform Umrah, visit the Prophet PBUH’s Mosque, and even stay in 5-star hotels for ease and comfort.

But those are just bonuses – that’s not the real challenge…

Tell Me More!

 

Climbing Up Those Hills!

Your challenge is to trek up two historic giants: the peaks of Mount Thawr and Mount Noor.

Not only do you get to retrace the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammed PBUH, but you’ll also raise money for free school meals for disadvantaged children around the world. 

On the surface, Mount Noor might seem like a gruelling 642-meter climb in sweltering heat… but there’s a reason why so many brave the hike each year. High up on this mountain lies the cave of Hira where the Qur’an was first revealed to Muhammad PBUH by the Angel Gabriel.

And even higher than that is Mount Thawr, standing at a whopping 760 meters tall. And over on the north-western ridge lies a small cave, Cave of Hira, only a few feet wide. It was here that hundreds of years ago the Prophet PBUH and Abu Bakr RA took shelter from the Quraysh for three days. 

These are two hugely important sites for Muslims, and this is your chance to retrace the steps of the very foundation of Islam.

 

Life Changing for You and Them!

This isn’t a free holiday – far from it. In fact, the fun starts way before we leave in October.

We’re giving you a fundraising target of £10,000 with our support – no registration fees to worry about! Once you meet that, we’ll take care of the rest; flights, accommodation, transport – everything! 

We know that £10,000 seems like a daunting target at first – but we’ll be there, supporting you every step of the way to make sure you get there.

And after you battle the intense heat, gravelly terrain and steep climb, when you finally reach the peaks… it will all seem worth it; the stunning views, the astounding religious sites, the sheer sense of accomplishment and satisfaction…

And besides that, think of the impact your fundraising will have… 

That £10,000 alone can fund school meals for almost 70 children for an entire year, helping them rise out of poverty and achieve their dreams! 

And the more people we bring along with us, the more children whose lives will be changed for the better.

 

Sounds Fun! When Do We Go?

It might take a while to get all the way up to the fundraising target. But the good news is you’ve got plenty of time to reach that target. In, fact you’ve got nearly a whole year!

Get your diaries out – we set off in October 2023.

The exact date will be announced closer to the time, but it’s worth keeping October free so you’re ready to hop on a plane and fly off.

 

So, What Are You Waiting For?

We’d love to welcome everyone on board. After all, the more the merrier – and the more lives will be changed! But there are very limited spaces. 

Only a special few will take on this challenge – and why shouldn’t it be you?
