And in Medina it's known as the haram. Al Masjid. Nabawi is known as the haram. And then there is an area in the city of Makkah, and the city of Medina, which is haram from a certain place to a certain place. So the entire city is also known as the Haram city. And then when a person enters Makkah to Makkah, Rama, they're taught to enter in the state of a haram which is also a haram state. So what is intended by this term haram? Haram actually means prohibited. So it's a prohibited city. It's a prohibited condition.

And it's the highest level of peace everything should be at peace in that area. That's the idea of this term haram that is referring to the condition or the state you're in when you are going to engage in the pilgrimage major or minor. Similarly the masjid known as a Masjid Al haram or al haram and similarly the place which is MK and Medina, the professor Salam says that
