In [[Iran|Iranian tradition]] this mountain could be any of the following:
* The highest mountain
* The "unknown" mountain referred to as ''Gapkuh''<ref group=Note>''Qāf'' is the Arabized form of the Middle Persian word ''gâp'' meaning "unknown". The oldest mention of ''Gapkuh'' or the "unknown mountain" is in an inscription of Shapur I (241-272 AD) for the mountains between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The name of the Caucasus Mountains is said to have ultimately come from ''Kapkof'' or ''Kafkaz'', corrupted variant(s) of ''Gapkuh''.</ref>
* The land of the [[Daeva]] (who did not follow [[Zoroastrianism]])
* [[Saoshyant]]'s battlefield
* [[Simurgh]]'s nest
The [[Peri]] and [[Daeva|Deev]] kingdoms of Qaf include are Shad-u-kam (Pleasure and Delight), with its magnificent capital Juherabad (Jewel-city), Amberabad (Amber-city), and Ahermanabad ([[Ahriman|Aherman]]’s city).<ref name="Lebling"/>
==Arabic tradition==
Mount Qaf in Arabic tradition is a mysterious mountain renowned as the "farthest point of the earth" owing to its location at the far side of the ocean encircling the earth.<ref name="Qaf">[http://www.mythologydictionary.com/mount-qaf-mythology.html Mount Qaf - Mythology Dictionary]</ref> Because of its remoteness, the [[North Pole]] is sometimes identified with this mountain.<ref>[[Ibrahim Muhawi]] & Sharif Kanaana.

Berkeley University of California Press</ref><ref>Irgam Yigfagna; ''al-Jabal al-Lamma''</ref> According to [[Hatim al-Tai|Hatim Tai]]’s account, the Qaf Mountains were said
to be composed of green emerald, peridot or chrysolite, whose reflection gave
a greenish tint to the sky. It is regarded as the home of the Jinn race and the place beyond which the [[Al-Ghaib|unseen divine world]] begins. In Arabic literature, Qaf was the loftiest of the mountain ranges created by Allah to support the earth and was the parent of all other earthly mountains, to which it was linked by subterranean ranges. The range is separated from the world of men by the oceans that surround the known world. Qaf, as the primeval mountain, came to symbolise the cosmic mountain where the natural and supernatural met and the link between the [[Alam al Mulk|terrestrial]] and [[Malakut|celestial]] worlds was established. It is said that the [[anqa]] and [[Roc (mythology)|rukh]] will come here. The emerald-made cities [[Jabulqa and Jabulsa]], situated in darkness, are said to be contiguous to the mountain Qaf.<ref name="Lebling"/><ref name="Qaf"/><ref name="wonders">{{cite book |last1=Qazwīnī |first1=Zakarīyā Ibn-Muḥammad al- |title=Kosmographie: ¬Die Wunder der Schöpfung |date=1849 |publisher=Dieterich |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eCk-AAAAcAAJ&pg=PT152 |access-date=3 October 2019 |language=ar}}</ref>

According to Qazwini's cosmology, the sky is held by [[God in Islam|God]] so that it does not fall on Earth. The Earth is considered flat (later Islamic scholars believed that it was round) and surrounded by a series of mountains —including Mount Qaf— that hold it in its place like pegs; the Earth is supported by the [[Kujata|Kuyuthan]] that stands on [[Bahamut]], a giant fish ({{lang-ar|بهموت}} ''Bahamūt'') dwelling in a cosmic ocean; the ocean is inside a bowl that sits on top of an angel or [[jinn]].<ref>Zakariya al-Qazwini.

According to certain authors, the ''Jabal Qaf'' of [[Cosmology in medieval Islam|Muslim cosmology]] is a version of [[Rupes Nigra]], a mountain whose ascent —such as [[Dante Alighieri|Dante's]] climbing of the [[Purgatorio|Mountain of Purgatory]], represents the pilgrim's progress through spiritual states.<ref>Irgam Yigfagna; ''al-Jabal al-Lamma'', p. 44</ref>
==Sufi tradition==
In some [[Sufism|Sufistic oral traditions]], as conceived by [[Abd al-Rahman]] and [[Attar of Nishapur|Attar]], Mount Qaf was considered as a realm of consciousness and the goal of a ''[[murid]]''. [[Hadda Sahib]] (d. 1903) is said to have visited Mount Qaf in one night and was greeted by the king of [[peri]]s.<ref>PRIOR, DANIEL G. “TRAVELS OF MOUNT QĀF: FROM LEGEND TO 42° 0' N 79° 51' E.” Oriente Moderno, vol. 89, no. 2, 2009, pp. 425–444.
