It is apparently important to some Muslims however, as it would give credibility to the idea that Mecca had some part in God’s work prior to Mohammed. However, other Muslims, such as the footnote 2504 in the Holy Quran: English Translation of the Meanings and Commentary equate Mt. Sinai with Jabal Musa, as do the majority of Christians.
Hata hivyo, inaonekana kuwa ingekuwa muhimu kwa baadhi ya Waislam kwani kungelifanya wazo la kuwa Maka ilishiriki kwenye kazi ya Mungu kabla ya Muhammad la kuaminika. Hata hivyo, Waislam wengine, kama rejeo chini ya ukurasa 2504 kwenye Kurani Takatifu: Toleo la Kiingereza la Maana na Ufafanuzi (Holy Quran: English Translation of the Meanings and Commentary) linalinganisha Mlima Sinai na Jabal Musa, sawa na wengi wa Wakristo.
