يلملم / السعدية
Yalamlam (also known as As-Sa'diah) is the miqat for hacilar coming from Yemen and the southern direction. By extension, hacilar from the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and East Africa who travel by sea or arrive from the south also use this miqat. It is located about 120 km south of Mekke in the Tihama coastal region.
Yalamlam was designated by Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (PBUH) as the miqat for the people of Yemen. It is named after a mountain in the Tihama region south of Mekke. The modern miqat facility is at the town of As-Sa'diah. Historically, hacilar from Yemen, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia who traveled by land or sea from the south would pass through this miqat. Today, most hacilar from these regions fly into Jeddah and enter ihram on the airplane, but those traveling by land still use this miqat point.
Yalamlam is one of the five miqat points designated by Hz. Peygamber (PBUH). It serves hacilar from the southernmost approaches to Mekke, including the historically significant route from Yemen. The people of Yemen were praised by Hz. Peygamber (PBUH) for their soft hearts and wisdom, and this miqat has welcomed their haci caravans for over 14 centuries.
Yalamlam / As-Sa'diah is on the highway from Yemen to Mekke, about 120 km south of the holy city. The facility includes a cami and basic amenities for entering ihram. Most hacilar from the south today fly into Jeddah and enter ihram on the airplane as they cross the miqat line. If traveling by road from Yemen or the southern Saudi regions, your bus or car will stop here. The facility is less developed than the Medine miqat but adequate for the purpose. Plan to have your ihram clothing ready before arriving.
