Ji'ranah(الجعرانة) A location northeast of মক্কা মুকাররমা on the road to Ta'if that serves as a miqat point for those in মক্কা মুকাররমা wishing to enter ইহরাম for উমরাহ. It is the place where নবী করীম performed উমরাহ after distributing the war spoils of Hunayn.
الجعرانة
Ji'ranah holds special significance because নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) chose this location to enter ইহরাম for উমরাহ after the Battle of Hunayn and the Siege of Ta'if in 8 AH. After distributing the spoils of war at Ji'ranah, he entered ইহরাম and proceeded to মক্কা মুকাররমা for উমরাহ, then returned to মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা. A মসজিদ marks the site where নবী করীম entered ইহরাম. While Tan'im is closer and more commonly used today, Ji'ranah is considered more virtuous by some scholars because of its direct Prophetic connection. It is located outside the Haram boundary, making it a valid point to enter ইহরাম.
