Around three million pilgrims from across the globe are converging at Mount Arafat, the Jabal ar-Rahmah on the second day of the pilgrimage to perform the major Hajj ritual. Radio Pakistan’s correspondent Javed Iqbal reports from Arafat that countless pilgrims are making their way from Mina to the plains of Arafat, utilizing buses and trains as their mode of transportation. Pilgrims will make their way to Masjid Nimrah on the grounds of Arafat, where they will listen to the Arafat sermon amid continuous chanting of “Labbeika Allahumma Labbeik”. After the sermon, Hajj pilgrims will spend the afternoon praying on the mountain. After the stay at Muzdalifah, the noble pilgrims will perform the stoning of the devil on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.
