Abstract
[Ar] الطريق إلى المدينة المقدسة ... الجحفة أنموذجاً
كانت قرية الجحفة ولا تزال مركز حضارى عبر تاريخ البشرية. ولأنها مناسبة للحياة فقد أقامت فيها كثير من الدول عبر تاريخها الطويل والقديم. ومع ظهور الإسلام أصبحت الجحفة أكثر أهمية حيث كانت بمثابة محطة رئيسية للحجاج وكان الحجاج المسلمون يمرورن بها فى طريقهم إلى الأراضى والمشاعر المقدسة، حاملين معهم الطعام والماء وغير ذلك من الإحتياجات، وتشتهر الجحفة أيضًا بآثارها التاريخية مثل قصر عالية ومسجد الزور وغير ذلك. يعرب الباحثون عن امتنانهم لعمادة البحث العلمى بجامعة أم القرى لدعمها وتمويل هذه الدراسة بمنحة رقم (19-HUM-4- 9-0001) والتى ساهمت بشكل فعال فى إجرائها.
[En] The village of al-Juḥfah was, still is, a center of civilization throughout human history. Since it is suitable for life, many nations resided in it. With the advent of Islam, al-Juḥfah became of more importance, since it served as a Mīqāt for Hajj, and that is why Muslim pilgrims were obliged to pass by it, carrying with them food, water and other items. al-Juḥfa is further known for its historical remains like the Alia Palace and Masjid of cAzzūr. The researchers express their gratitude to the Deanship of Scientific Research, Umm al-Qura University for supporting and funding this paper under scholarship Nrº. (19-HUM-4- 9-0001), which effectively contributed to conducting it.
