التنعيم
Tan'im is historically significant as the place where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to go to enter ihram for her Umrah during the Farewell Hajj, after she had completed Hajj. The mosque built at this location is therefore known as Masjid Aisha. Today, Tan'im is the most commonly used point for people residing in or visiting Makkah to exit the Haram boundary and re-enter ihram for an additional Umrah. Taxis and buses regularly transport pilgrims between the Grand Mosque and Tan'im. The location marks the boundary between the Haram (sacred precinct) and the Hill (non-sacred area), which is necessary to cross before entering a new ihram.
