Makkah, the holiest city in Islam, draws millions of pilgrims annually for the sacred rituals of Umrah and Hajj. Amidst this spiritual journey lie several significant sites every Muslim should endeavor to visit. These sites, steeped in Islamic history and tradition, provide a rare chance to strengthen one's faith, contemplate its teachings, and delve deeper into the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Let’s explore these important places to visit in Makkah during your Umrah pilgrimage. Kaaba (Masjid Al-Haram) Location: Al Haram, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free The Kaaba, located in the Masjid al-Haram, is the most sacred site in Islam. It’s a cuboid-shaped building that Muslims around the world face during prayer. During Umrah, pilgrims perform Tawaf, which involves walking seven times around the Kaaba, starting and ending at the Black Stone. Black Stone (Hajar Al-Aswad) Location: Eastern corner of the Kaaba, Masjid al-Haram, MakkahTiming: As part of the Kaaba, it’s accessible whenever Masjid al-Haram is openEntry Fee: Free The Black Stone, or Hajar al-Aswad, is embedded in the eastern corner of the Kaaba. It’s an Islamic relic that, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. Pilgrims try to kiss the stone during Tawaf, emulating the kiss that it received from the Prophet Muhammad. Safa And Marwah Location: Inside Masjid al-Haram, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Safa and Marwah are two small hills located in the Masjid al-Haram. They are significant due to the ritual of Sa’ee performed during Umrah & Hajj, which involves walking seven times between these hills. This ritual commemorates Hagar’s frantic search for water for her son Ismail, which resulted in the miracle of the Zamzam Well. Masjid E Taneem Location: Al Taif Road, Taneem, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Masjid Taneem, also known as Masjid Aisha, Masjid Taneem marks where Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad, entered into Ihram for Umrah. It’s a popular place for people in Makkah who wish to perform the Umrah, as it lies just outside the sacred boundary (Miqat) around Makkah. Masjid Al-Jinn Location: Jinn, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Masjid al-Jinn is named after an event during which a group of jinn are said to have gathered to hear the recitation of the Quran by Prophet Muhammad. The mosque is relatively small compared to others in Makkah but holds great significance. Jabal Al-Nour Location: Northeast of MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Jabal al-Nour, or Mountain of Light, is notable for being the location of the Hira cave. The Prophet Muhammad spent time in this cave meditating, and it is here that he received his first revelation from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. Mount Arafat Location: Plain of Arafat, southeast of MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Mount Arafat is a granite hill about 20 km southeast of Makkah in the plain of Arafat. Standing at Mount Arafat on the 9th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah is a fundamental part of the Hajj pilgrimage. While not a formal part of Umrah, many pilgrims visit due to its religious significance. Jannat Al-Mualla Location: Al Hajjlah, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Jannat al-Mualla, known as Al-Hajun, is Makkah’s oldest and most famous cemetery. Many members of the Prophet Muhammad’s family, including his first wife Khadijah are buried here. It’s a place of respect and reflection. Masjid-E-Aisha Location: At-Tan’eem, MakkahTiming: Open throughout the dayEntry Fee: Free Masjid-e-Aisha, also known as Masjid at-Taneem, marks where Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, entered the Ihram for Umrah.
