KHEIF MOSQUE IN MINA
One of the holy places in Mina is Kheif Mosque, which is said to be the worship place of the prophets (a.s) and the place of sacrifice of Ismaeel (a.s). Performing prayer, reciting the Holy Quran, and supplications are recommended in this place.
HALTING PLACE VII: VISITATION OF THE KAABA
AND KISSING THE BLACK STONE
Thanks to God, we have gone through the sixfold Halting places and in each a veil between us and God is removed, and by offering sacrifice and removing vices, we are purified both physically and spiritually to visit God's House and kiss the Black Stone. We leave Mina for the Sacred House to once again perform circumambulation, Sa'y between Safa and Marwa, which we had already done as umrah but this time as Tamattu'. We intend to attain the highest degree of human dignity by kissing and caressing the Black Stone, which is symbol of shaking hands of servitude with God and renewing the pledge of servitude.
Those pilgrims who, during their stay in Mina, have had time and come to Mecca for circumambulation, Sa'y and Tawaf un-Nissa, are now free, but those who have delayed their acts in Mecca, go for circumambulation and Sa'y after returning from Mina.
