MASJID-E- JINN
1 . It is situated between Shara-e-Qasheia and Muhallah "Hujun" near to Jannat-ul-Moalla
(Makkah's holy Graveyard).
2 . Before starting "Vahee" (Quran), Jins had power to reach to the skies where
they used to pick some decisions or orders discussed by angels. Jinns used to
come to the earth and tell what they heard. One or two among them (wholly or
Partially) become true. But after starting of "Vahee", they felt that now there
was some power which had been restricting them to go to skies.
3. Once a group of Jinns was flying over the place where now this mosque
(Masjid-e-Jin) is situated, they heard the holy words of Quran from the mouth of
Prophet Syedna Muhammad sallalla ho allihi waslam who had been offering morning
prayer. After listening the holy words of Quran, Jinns said with each others
that those were the words (sound) which had been preventing them to go to skies.
Jinns realized the reality of true faith and they came down. Listened the verses
of holy Quran and accepted Islam on the hands of Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho
allihi waslam at this place. Because of such reason this mosque is called
"Masjid-e-Jinn".
4 . It is now constructed by light grey marble. previously it was Red tiled
mosque situated very near to "Haram" between two muhallas, named Shoab-Amir and
muhalla Salmania. This place can be found if anyone comes out from "Haram"
through 'Bab-e-Mararwa where saie comes to an end. Pilgrim must take left turn
to first street out side haram .it is souaq-ul-lail (Lail bazar) covered with
sheds. In local language it is called CHAPRA BAZAR. cross this shaded street (chapra
bazar) you find a mosque there . it is not masjid-e-jinn. Some people mistakenly
think this is masjid-e-jinn. No, leaving this mosque behind, keep walking
straight on the left hand side of the road un till you reached near a pedestrian
overhead bridge. Just adjacent to this overhead bridge you will find mosque at
your left. it is masjid-e-jinn.
MASJID -E-AISHA (RA) (TA NEEM)
1 . This beautiful mosque is situated a few kilometers away from
"Masjid-ul-Haram". It is the place where the people of Makkah, wear "Ahram" if
they want to perform Umra. The people who come outside Makkah with ahram and
performed Umra and wants to perform another living in the vicinity of 'Makkah'
they have to go to Aisha mosque for fresh "Ahram". It is just like "MEQAT"
(Place where AHRAM has to put on by pilgrims).
2 . After every few minutes, local buses go to "Masjid-e-Aisha (RA)". These
buses terminate and restart in front of "Bab-e-Fahad", newly build gate of
Haram. These buses are easily available and take fifteen minutes for
"Masjid-e-Aisha". Some buses have double deck but ladies are not allowed on
upper compartment. Buses take 4 Riyals for up and down journey where as taxies
take 20 Riyals for both side. Use of buses is advisable as these are empty and
easily available.
3 . The original name of "Masjid-e-Aisha" is "TA NEEM". In Makkah some people
say it "Masjid-e-Aisha" and some say Ta`neem and some say "Umra". Once the
mother of UMMA, "Syeda Aisha(RA) put on Ahram from this point and this is the
reason, it is called "Masid-e-Aisha (RA)". Once Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) was
coming to Makkah with his wife "Syeda Aisha (RA)" and other companions, for
performing Umra. Ummul Moumeneen, Syeda Aisha (RA), could not come under "Ahram"
because of some unavoidable natural reasons. During the stay in Makkah, when
ummul momeeneen syeda Aisha Radiallah ho talla anha got her purity, she
expressed her desire to perform Umra. Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) allowed her to
go to outside Makkah (Ta`neem) for wearing "Ahram". This sunna has been
following by faithful since then.
4 . This mosque is very attractive and has peaceful atmosphere. From one door
women enter in where as the second one is used by men. Outside mosque, beautiful
modern bathrooms are built which are properly maintained and cleaned. Showering
system is excellent. Water is supplied according to weather conditions. Few
small and beautiful shops are there outside mosque. From these shops, "Ahram"
and other eatable items might be bought.
