Peak devotion as pilgrims gather in Arafat for most sacred Hajj rite

ARAFAT: Pilgrims gathered on the Plain of Arafat on Dhul Hijjah 9, Tuesday, for the most sacred and spiritually defining stage of the ritual, amid strict security and health measures. They also attended the annual Hajj sermon at Namirah Mosque, the second-largest facility in the Makkah region, where Dhuhr and Asr prayers were performed in combination and shortened. The shortening of prayers follows a tradition established by Prophet Muhammad more than 14 centuries ago. The sermon was delivered by Sheikh Ali bin Abdulrahman Al-Hudhaifi, imam of the Prophet’s Mosque.
