الجحفة / رابغ
Al-Juhfah (now marked at the nearby town of Rabigh) is the miqat for হাজীগণ coming from the Levant (Syria, Jordan, Palestine), Egypt, North Africa, and Turkey. Located about 183 km northwest of মক্কা মুকাররমা on the Red Sea coast, হাজীগণ traveling by road from Jeddah toward মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা also pass through here. A মসজিদ marks the ইহরাম point.
Al-Juhfah was designated by নবী করীম Muhammad (PBUH) as the miqat for the people of Sham (the Levant) and those traveling from that direction. The original town of Al-Juhfah was a village that was largely abandoned after being struck by floods. The miqat point has since shifted to the nearby town of Rabigh, which lies on the same latitude and serves the same geographical alignment. It is one of the five miqat points established by নবী করীম (PBUH) in an authentic hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA).
Al-Juhfah is one of the five miqat points established by নবী করীম (PBUH). It serves as the sacred boundary for millions of হাজীগণ from the western and northern approaches to মক্কা মুকাররমা. Its designation reflects নবী করীম's comprehensive planning for হাজীগণ from all directions.
Most হাজীগণ arriving by air to Jeddah from the west or north will pass through this miqat if traveling by road. Many হাজীগণ flying from Egypt, Turkey, or the Levant to Jeddah enter ইহরাম on the airplane as they pass the miqat alignment, as the flight path crosses it. A মসজিদ in Rabigh marks the location for those traveling by land. Facilities include washrooms and changing areas, though they are less developed than Dhul Hulayfah. If traveling by road, coordinate with your driver to stop at the miqat point. Check your flight path to determine if you pass over Juhfah/Rabigh.
