Miqat Dhul Hulayfah(مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة) Dhul Hulayfah is the designated Miqat boundary station for হাজীগণ traveling from মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা to মক্কা মুকাররমা for হজ্জ or উমরাহ. Located about 9 km from নবী করীম's Mosque, it is the farthest Miqat from মক্কা মুকাররমা.
مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة
Dhul Hulayfah, known today as Abyar Ali (Wells of Ali), is one of the five Miqat stations designated by নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) as reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. It is the Miqat for anyone traveling from মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা or passing through it on their way to মক্কা মুকাররমা. Despite being the farthest Miqat from মক্কা মুকাররমা (approximately 450 km), it is the most commonly used due to the large number of হাজীগণ who visit মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা before or after হজ্জ. The modern Abyar Ali complex features a large মসজিদ, bathing facilities, and changing rooms where হাজীগণ perform Ghusl, don their ইহরাম garments, and make their Niyyah. নবী করীম himself entered ইহরাম from this location during his Farewell Pilgrimage.
