Miqat Al-Juhfah(مِيقَات الجُحْفَة) Al-Juhfah is the designated Miqat for হাজীগণ traveling to মক্কা মুকাররমা from Egypt, Syria, North Africa, and western directions. Located near the modern town of Rabigh, it is approximately 183 kilometers from মক্কা মুকাররমা.
مِيقَات الجُحْفَة
Al-Juhfah is one of the five Miqat stations established by নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম). It serves as the ইহরাম boundary for হাজীগণ coming from Egypt, the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya), Turkey, Europe, and the Americas. The original village of Al-Juhfah was destroyed by floods in early Islamic history, and the nearby town of Rabigh has since served as its practical replacement. Most scholars agree that entering ইহরাম at Rabigh is valid since it falls on or before the line of Al-Juhfah relative to মক্কা মুকাররমা. Pilgrims arriving by air at Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport from these regions typically enter ইহরাম on the plane before passing the Miqat line or at designated facilities in Jeddah.
