Pilgrims flocked to the Sacred House of God at sunrise on Saturday morning to head to the pure level of Arafat, filled with an atmosphere of faith filled with reverence and tranquility, praying and praying to God Almighty to grant them pardon, forgiveness, mercy, and freedom from Hell.
The convoys of the guests of God to Arafat were accompanied by direct security follow-up carried out by members of the various security sectors that surrounded the vehicle roads and pedestrian paths to organize them according to plans for escalating and dispatching the pilgrims, in addition to guiding them and ensuring the necessary safety for them.
For its part, the Ministry of Health warned pilgrims of “the dangers of exposure to high temperatures on surfaces in the Holy Sites, which reach high temperatures.”
The Ministry warned pilgrims that “exposure to sunlight for long periods poses a great danger to their health,” noting that “this year’s Hajj season 1445 AH comes with high temperatures in Mecca, which is the greatest difficulty that pilgrims face.”
The Saudi News Agency “SPA” monitored the movement of crowds of pilgrims from Mina to Arafat in the Holy Sites, where traffic movement was characterized by smoothness during the escalation of pilgrims.
On Saturday, pilgrims to the Sacred House of God perform the noon and afternoon prayers, combined and short, with one call to prayer and two iqamas at Nimra Mosque. Following the example of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: “Take your rituals from me.”
With sunset on this day, crowds of pilgrims begin their journey to Muzdalifah, where they pray the sunset and evening prayers and spend the night there until dawn on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, following the Sunnah of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, where he spent the night and prayed the dawn prayer.
Hajj days
The guests of God spent the Day of Tarwiyah in Mina and spent the night there.
At dawn on Saturday, the pilgrims who came from various countries of the world headed to perform the greatest pillar of Hajj, which is standing on Mount Arafat.
After sunset, the pilgrims leave for Muzdalifah to spend the night there, then they return to Mina on the morning of Dhul-Hijjah 10 to stone Jamarat al-Aqaba and sacrifice, then shave and cut their hair, and head to Mecca to perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah.
Pilgrims in Mina spend the three days of Tashreeq (11, 12, and 13 of Dhul-Hijjah) throwing the three Jamarat, starting with the minor Jamarat of Aqaba, then the middle, then the major. Pilgrims in a hurry can shorten it to just two days, after which they head to Mecca to perform the farewell circumambulation.
Earlier, Saudi media reported that more than 1.5 million pilgrims came from all over the world in and around Mecca to perform Hajj, and the Saudi authorities expected the number of pilgrims to exceed two million this year.
