On Friday, the second day of Hajj, known as the Day of Arafat, is marked among Muslims around the globe.
On 9th Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims travel to the plains of 'Arafat, where they combine their Dhuhr and Asr prayers and then spend the entire day making du'a.
Muslim pilgrims started arriving in Saudi Arabia’s Mount Arafat to take part in the most significant ceremony of the yearly Hajj pilgrimage. Mount Arafat is a granite hill 20 kilometres from the Kaaba in the Arafat plains.
The pilgrims travel to the mountain where the Prophet Mohammed delivered his final speech and where Adam and Eve first reconnected after being brought to Earth.
Each pilgrim group travels to the Nimra Mosque on the Arafat grounds, where they attend a sermon.
Afterwards, they travel to Muzdalifah where they will be handed stones to use in a ritualistic stoning of the demon.
The day of Arafat is one of the most holiest days of the Islamic year, a day where supplications are answered and sins are forgiven.
People fast on this day and seek blessings and forgiveness from God as well as recite duas and supplications on this day and prepare for the Eid al-Adha. The day is known for showing gratitude, so on this day, Muslims praise Allah for his blessing.
