The mountain often associated with a divine event where it was affected by the manifestation of Allah's glory, leading to its destruction, is Mount Sinai.
While the question uses the term "burned," religious accounts, notably in the Quran (Surah Al-A'raf 7:143), describe the event differently. When the Prophet Moses (Musa in Arabic) asked to see Allah, he was instructed to look at the mountain. Upon Allah's manifestation of His glory to the mountain, it is described as crumbling into dust.
The Significance of Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai holds immense significance in Abrahamic religions, including Islam. It is known as Jabal Musa (Mount of Moses) in Islam, where Moses is said to have received divine revelations.
Here is some information about Mount Sinai based on the reference:
- Native Name: طُوْر سِيْنَاء
- Geography: Located in the Sinai, which is part of the Asian section of Egypt.
This event involving the crumbling of the mountain is often interpreted as the mountain's inability to withstand the intensity of the divine presence, rather than it being consumed by fire.
