Masjid Al-namirah

Masjid al-Namirah, also recognized as the Mosque of Repentance, holds significant historical importance as the site where Prophet Muhammad (SAW) combined the Dhuhr and Asr prayers during the Farewell Hajj. At the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet set up a tent on a small hill named Namirah, situated to the west of Arafat. In the open expanse at the Urane Valley, marking the boundary of the Haram area, he led a combined prayer, attended by over 120,000 companions. Following the prayer, he proceeded to the main standing (wuquf) ritual at Arafat.

A mosque was subsequently constructed at this location, commemorating the prayer led by the Prophet during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and it came to be known as the Mosque of Repentance.

Mugammes Valley holds historical significance from the pre-Islamic era when Abraha’s army aimed to destroy the Kaaba in Mecca. Before their attempted attack on Mecca, they camped in Mugammes Valley. Presently situated about 5 kilometers toward the Taif road from the ninth road of Arafat’s path to Seylülkebîr, this valley is referred to as the Green Valley.
