| Etymology | Dhat Irq (ذات عرق) literally means 'the place with the vein/ridge.' The word Irq (عرق) can mean 'vein,' 'root,' or 'ridge,' likely referring to a geological feature — a small mountain ridge or a dried riverbed vein that marked the location. |
Miqat Dhat Irq(مِيقَات ذَات عِرْق) Dhat Irq is the designated Miqat for hacilar traveling from Iraq, Iran, and northeastern regions toward Mekke. Located about 94 kilometers northeast of Mekke, it was established during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab.
مِيقَات ذَات عِرْق
Dhat Irq is the fifth Miqat station, serving hacilar from Iraq, Iran, and Central Asia. While the other four Miqat stations were explicitly designated by Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem), Dhat Irq was established by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when the people of Iraq accepted Islam and needed a Miqat. Some hadith narrations in Sunan Abu Dawud and others suggest Hz. Peygamber also mentioned this Miqat, though scholars differ on the authenticity. The location takes its name from a small mountain called Irq in the area. Historically, it was a crucial point on the caravan route from Basra and Kufa. With modern transportation, many Iraqi and Iranian hacilar now fly to Jeddah and enter Ihram before crossing the Miqat line or at designated points.
