Pilgrims arrived on Tuesday at the plain of Mount Arafat to perform the greatest pillar of Hajj, in a deeply spiritual scene marked by devotion, supplication, and prayer.
Since the early morning hours, the plains of Arafat have witnessed the arrival of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims amid an integrated system of organizational and service arrangements provided by the Saudi authorities to ensure the safety of the Guests of Allah and facilitate the performance of rituals in a secure and stable atmosphere. The total number of pilgrims this year has reached 1,673,230.
Pilgrims performed the Dhuhr and Asr prayers combined and shortened at Namirah Mosque and across the surrounding area of the holy site. With sunset approaching, the crowds of pilgrims will begin their departure to Muzdalifah to spend the night there before heading to Mina to perform the stoning of Jamrat Al-Aqaba and complete the remaining Hajj rituals.
During the Day of Arafat, pilgrims devote themselves to abundant prayers, seeking forgiveness, and reciting the Talbiyah (which is a prayer said during Hajj and ʿUmrah meaning “Here I am, O Allah, responding to Your call.”), as the day is regarded as the greatest day of Hajj and one of the most virtuous days in Islam.
Minister of Religious Affairs and Endowments Bashir Haroun, and the Secretary-General for Hajj and Umrah Omar Mustafa, were present in the holy sites during the Arafat sermon, as part of the Hajj season 1447 AH programs.
