Hajj Pilgrimage: Journey through Mina, Arafah, and Muzdalifah
As the Hajj pilgrimage begins, the world's largest tent city has been set up in Mina, where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims will stay overnight and offer prayers.
After Fajr prayers, pilgrims will leave for Waqoof e Arafah, the most important part of the Hajj pilgrimage, and offer Zuhr and Asr prayers together after listening to a sermon.
Around 2.5 million pilgrims from around the world, including 200,000 from Pakistan, have arrived in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj this year and are now gathered in Mina.
Pilgrims will spend Monday night in Mina and leave for Arafat after Fajr prayers on Tuesday. Waqoof e Arafah will be performed on Tuesday. Pilgrims will listen to the Hajj sermon at Masjid al-Namirah and offer Zuhr and Asr prayers together.
Pilgrims will then proceed to Jabal e Rahma to seek forgiveness. At sunset, pilgrims will leave for Muzdalifah and offer Maghrib and Isha prayers there. They will spend the night under the open sky and collect stones to throw at Jamarat.
On the 10th of Zil Hajj, pilgrims will leave for Mina after Fajr prayers and perform the ritual of Rami Jamar. After the sacrifice, pilgrims will remove their Ihram and go to the Kaaba to perform Tawaf al-Ziyarah. They will then return to Mina and spend ayyam e tashreeq there (the three days after the sacrifice at Mina during Hajj, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days of the Zil Hajj month).
