Masjid Dhul Hulayfah, also known as Masjid Al-Shajarah, is the sacred Miqat for the people of Madinah. Located about 9 km from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, this is the blessed place where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ wore his Ihram before performing Hajj and Umrah.
Every year, millions of pilgrims visit this mosque to make their intention and wear the Ihram before heading towards the Holy Kaaba in Makkah. The mosque has been beautifully renovated with modern facilities, including prayer halls, ablution areas, and separate spaces for men and women.
Visiting Masjid Dhul Hulayfah reminds us of the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and the importance of preparing spiritually before entering into the sacred journey of Hajj and Umrah.
