Rohan Makhija

Jabal e Rehmat (Mount of Mercy) – Hill in Arafat where Rasulullah ﷺ delivered the Farewell Sermon and where many believe Adam عليه السلام and Hawwa met and were forgiven. Standing here, you feel Allah’s mercy closer than ever.

Bus routes towards Muzdalifah – the valley where Hujjaj collect pebbles and spend the night after Arafah, resting under the open sky before stoning the Jamarat.

Masjid Nimra reminder – khutbah of Hajj that taught justice, women’s rights and unity; Hajj isn’t complete without standing in Arafat after midday near this place of khutbah.

Zubaidah canal legacy – Abbasid queen Zubaidah bint Ja‘far built an entire water system bringing water from far valleys to Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina; her sadaqah jariyah still gives her reward whenever a pilgrim drinks.

Masjid at Muzdalifah – where Maghrib and Isha are prayed together at Isha time following the Sunnah, before sleeping on the ground with millions.

Mini tents of Hajj & Mina – streets filled with white tents where pilgrims stay, and the area of Jamarat reminding how Ibrahim عليه السلام was ready to sacrifice his son and pelted Shaytan away with stones.

From Mercy Mountain to Sacrifice Valley – every stop in Hajj is a lesson in tawbah, sabr and surrender.

“Mecca Ziyarat Part 2 – from a poor man’s masjid to Masjid Nimra & Arafat. 🕌🚌”

Al Rajhi Masjid – named after Sheikh Sulaiman Al Rajhi, the billionaire who gave away $7 BILLION (60 billion SAR) and chose poverty for Allah's sake. Born too poor for even 1 riyal school trip, he built Al Rajhi Bank then donated EVERYTHING for masajid, orphans, and akhirah.

Arafat plains – Highway views feeling the weight of Hajj caravans that passed here for centuries.

Masjid Nimra ahead – Where Prophet ﷺ delivered Farewell Khutbah, combined Dhuhr-Asr, perfected our deen before 100k+ Sahabah.

“Journey from the Haram towards Ghar‑e‑Soor side and a quick stop with the famous Haram pigeons of Makkah. They remind you that even these birds are safe in this sacred land. 🕊️🕋"

Taif Ziyarat Part 3 | Masjid Ali, Pain & Miqat to Umrah

Part 3 of Taif Ziyarat – from the masajid of pain to the Miqat of a new Umrah.

First stop: Masjid Ali (Al‑Madhoun / Al‑Qantara) – a historic mosque near the very area where Rasulullah ﷺ rested after persecution, a calm place to sit and make shukr and dua.

Then the masjid built over the garden where he ﷺ was wounded and took shelter, known today as Masjid Addas – the place of grapes, tears and the famous Taif dua, where a single slave boy’s iman was worth more than a city’s stones.

From there, driving between Taif’s mountains towards Miqat Qarn al‑Manazil:
Here we stop, shower, wear ihram and make niyyah for Umrah.
This Miqat was fixed by the Prophet ﷺ:
“The Prophet fixed Dhul‑Hulaifa as the Miqat for the people of Madinah, Al‑Juhfa for the people of Sham, Qarn‑ul‑Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen…” (Sahih al‑Bukhari 1526 / 26:605)

Inside the Miqat masjid: thousands of tongues whispering the same words –
“Labbayk Allahumma ‘Umrah” – then back to Makkah through the dark mountains, this time not in pain like Taif, but in hope of a new Umrah being written.

“My Lord, guide my people, for they do not know.” – the dua that still echoes between these valleys. 🤲
