JJJURANA..
jurana is infact the place where the pilgrims
coming from Taif wrap their Ahram. It is Meqat. Living in makkah
or pilgrims staying in Makkah wish to perform Umra, they have to go
to masjid-e Ayesha situated in muhalla Taneem , few kilometers away from
haram-e-makki . Meqat
of Masjid-e-ayesha is infact an special meqat which was
used by ummul momeeneen syeda Ayesha radi Aallaha ho talla anha by the
special permission of prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam.This meqat
is still valid and even today the residents of Makkah and pilgrims staying
in Makkah after performing their initial umra coming from outside , can
use it. But JURANA is more important meqat for people of Makkah.
Jurana is situated 25 kilometers away from Makkah towards Taif.
Obiviously it is situated on makkah-Taif highway.A beautiful mosque
named JURANA is there beside the highway on the right hand side going towards
Taif. Wash rooms for pilgrims have been built there.
Jurna is infact is the name of a well where the prophet Muhammad
sallalla ho allihi wasalam took bath and wore Ahram to perform umra coming
from Taif. By virtue of this historical event this point has become an spiritual
and worth watching place.
Now the well of Jurana is no more there but a beautiful mosque named
MASJID-E-JAMMA JURANA having sign
board on its' forehead has been built near the well.
