مِيقَات قَرْن المَنَازِل
Qarn al-Manazil is one of the five Miqat stations designated by نبی کریم Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). It serves حجاج coming from central Arabia, including those traveling from Riyadh, Taif, and the broader Najd region. The modern town of Al-Sayl al-Kabeer marks this Miqat, featuring a مسجد and facilities for حجاج to perform Ghusl and change into احرام garments. Being one of the nearest Miqat points to مکہ مکرمہ, it is heavily used by Saudi residents and Gulf visitors traveling overland. Pilgrims arriving at Taif's airport also use this Miqat. The area is mountainous, situated in the Sarawat mountain range, and historically served as a resting point on the caravan route between Najd and the Hejaz.
