Masjid e Aisha

1 . This beautiful mosque is situated a few kilometres 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.
