مسجد عائشة / التنعيم
Masjid Aisha at Taneem is the nearest miqat point to Makkah, located about 7.5 km from Masjid al-Haram. It is the place where people already in Makkah go to enter ihram for a new Umrah. Named after Aisha (RA), who entered ihram here on the Prophet's instruction. The mosque has facilities for ablution and changing.
Masjid Aisha is named after Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RA), the wife of the Prophet (PBUH). During the Farewell Hajj, she was unable to perform Umrah due to her menstrual cycle. After completing Hajj, the Prophet (PBUH) instructed her brother Abdur-Rahman to take her to Taneem to enter ihram for Umrah. The mosque has been rebuilt and expanded multiple times, with the current modern structure accommodating thousands of pilgrims daily.
Taneem is the closest miqat boundary to Makkah, making it the most convenient point for those already in the city to assume ihram for Umrah. Its connection to Aisha (RA) gives it special significance. It is the most commonly used miqat for additional Umrahs during a pilgrim's stay.
Masjid Aisha is easily accessible by taxi or bus from anywhere in Makkah, with the ride taking about 15-20 minutes. The mosque is open 24 hours and has separate facilities for men and women, including washrooms, prayer halls, and areas to change into ihram garments. Ihram clothing is available for purchase from shops near the mosque. Many pilgrims visit multiple times during their stay to perform additional Umrahs. Taxis are readily available outside for the return trip to Masjid al-Haram.
