Hajj pilgrimage is commenced on the 8th day of the last Islamic month i.e., Dhul Hijja. On this day, Muslims take a shower and purify their body and soul to get engaged in the practice of Hajj pilgrimage. Since Umrah covers almost every essential ritual i.e., Tawaf (seven circuits around Ka’bah) and Sa’I (running back and forth in the hills of Safa and Marwah seven times), the pilgrims wear Ihram and proceed to Mina. The entire Muslim men and women (except for those dealing with their menstrual period) pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Ishaa, and Fajr Namaaz in the mosque of Mina. Generally, due to the lack of time, pilgrims combine the two times Namaaz into one unit praying two Ra’khas for each. Jamrah.
On the second day in Mina, Pilgrims proceed to Arafah Pahar and stay in the Namira mosque until the sunset. The pilgrims should spend these precious hours seeking the blessings of Allahو جل عز, chanting his name, reciting the holy book Quran, and asking for forgiveness as the famous Islamic scholars believe that the Pahar of Arafa is one of the most consecrated palaces of Hajj pilgrimages where Allah و جل عزbestows his blessings to the believers.
