Masjid Aisha

Aisha Mosque, also known as Taneem Mosque (Masjid e Taneem), is a popular destination for pilgrims, especially locals who are beginning their Hajj or Umrah journeys.

This is where Aisha (SAW), the beloved wife of Mohamed (PBUH), prepared to enter Ihram.

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said”Part of the worship of Hajj and Umrah is to travel in the way of Allah (SWT) and to go out of the city” Thus, this mosque serves as a miqat, or a place for adorning Ihram clothing. As such, Masjid e Taneem is equipped with a large number of washrooms and bathing facilities.

This massive mosque is about 10km (about 6.21 miles) north of Al Masjid Al Haram, on the highway to Madinah.

It is a 20-minute taxi ride from Makkah city center, longer if traffic is heavy.
As a miqat station, Masjid Aisha often has vendors that sell Ihram clothing and essentials like slippers and money belts.
