Muzdalifa (means: approaching) is the name of a place near [[Mecca]] where pilgrims must have [[Wuquf at al-Mash'ar|wuquf]] after the night journey from [['Arafat|Arafat]]. The reason for this name is that people enter this area at night. Another name of this place is "Jamʿ"(means: gathering). Because pilgrims gather there. This point is the same [[Mashʿar al-Haram]] mentioned in the Qur'an.
