Arafat
On the second day, the pilgrims move to a nearby mountainous area, Arafat, nine miles from Mina. Jabal al-Raḥmah (Mount Mercy) at Arafat was the scene of the Prophet Muhammad’s final sermon.
The pilgrims stand at the foot of Jabal al-Raḥmah where they pray and remember God from sunrise to sunset. Pilgrims pray to God in supplication and reflection on their lives, future, and life after death. The day of Arafat is essential and required for the Hajj to be valid.
