Reciting Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik, one million Hujjaj are in Mount Arafat to perform the Rukn-e-Azam of Hajj Waqoof-e-Arafat.

Delivering Hajj sermon at Masjid-e-Nimra in Maidan-e-Arafat, Dr Al Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al Issa said respecting and valuing humanity is compulsory for all Muslims. He said success lies in fear of Allah Almighty and following his orders. He said the Muslims should exhibit best of the manners as only those who will have good manners will be close to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) on the Day of Judgment.

The Hujjaj offered Juma and Asr prayers together. They will stay at Arafat spending the whole day in supplication praying for welfare of Ummah.

They will collect pebbles from Muzdalifah to throw at Satin the next morning.

After offering Fajr Prayers at Muzdalfa, they will leave for Mina for remaining Hajj rituals.

The 850,000 foreign pilgrims are performing Hajj for the first time after a hiatus of two years following the travel restrictions imposed by Saudi authorities due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic.
