Mukhallaqah is the closest pillar to [[Prophet's Mihrab|prophet's mihrab]], which is connected to the back of the mihrab from the west<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 435.</ref> and now it is a little ahead of its original place<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 191.</ref> and above it is written in a green circle with golden lines the words "اسطوانه المخلّقه Al- Mukhallaqa pillar".<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 191; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 435.</ref> | |||
