The Office for informing pilgrims about Arafah requests all
pilgrims to read the following page carefully before entering
Arafah for Wuqoof (standing at Arafah) . Please sign the
paper for our records.
Welcome to Arafah
History of Arafah
The word ''Arafah'' means to know. It has been reported that
Nabi Adam عليه السلام and Hawwa عليها السلام reunited and
recognized each other in this in this plain, after leaving Heaven.
Nabi Ibraheem عليه السلام has passed here, and stayed for
Wuqoof .
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also did the
Wuqoof in Arafah and has said : that there
can be no Hajj without the Wuqoof in Arafah.
Please read the following instructions carefully.
1. You must be in Arafah at least by the noon of the ninth of Zilhijjah.
2. You may come to Arafah on the 8th of Zilhijjah. The day is known as
the day of Tarwiyah.
3. If you are ill or old or have some problem, you may come to Arafah
earlier.
4. Arafah is a very wide plain. You may stay in any part of it.
Please be considerate of all the other Muslims around you.
While you are in Arafah :
1. Recite as much as you can of Du'as and Dhikr of Allah.
2. Ask forgiveness for your sins.
3. Remember the day of Judgement. On that day there will
also be crowds of people gathered on a field to be judged
for their deeds.
4. If you can, sit near or under the foot of the mount Jabal ul-
Rahmah, the mountain of Mercy. Pray that Allah may be
merciful to you. There will be many pilgrims on the mountain,
so watch your step.
After finishing the Wuqoof in Arafah,
please proceed to Muzdalifa.
