THE DAY OF ARAFAH
9th Zilhijj (2nd Day of Hajj)
Also (Days of Tashriq: 9th To 13th ZilHijj)
Departure for Arafat:
- Offer the early morning prayer in Mina, recite the formula prayer of Tashriq, say Talbiyah and start moving to Arafat. In Arafat, the most essential and most blissful act is to stand in prayer (Waqoof). The time of Waqoof starts after midday prayer and lasts till a little before the dawn of 10th ZilHijj but as normal practice Hajis should depart from Arafat on the sunset (Maghrib). However if a pilgrim, due to some reason reaches Arafat even after Maghrib his Waqoof is accepted. While standing (Waqoof) seek forgiveness from God in as many words as you can recollect, seek His blessings for self and for your dear ones.
Offer your mid-day prayer at your place in congregation if you can not reach the Nimrah mosque then stand in prayer (Waqoof).
