All praise is due to Allah. The Prophet, peace be upon him, went to Ta'if to invite its people [to Islam] and to find an outlet for the call of Islam after the siege and persecution by the Quraysh, especially after the death of his wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib. Qarn al-Tha'alib (also known as Qarn al-Manazil) is a mountain located between Mecca and Ta'if, closer to Ta'if. It is the miqat for the people of Najd, and it is 51 miles from Mecca and 36 miles from Ta'if.
