Mount Arafat, also known as Jabal al-Rahmah (The Mountain of Mercy), is a granite hill east of Makkah in the plain of Arafat. It is the most significant site during the Hajj pilgrimage, as the "Standing at Arafat" (Wuquf) is the fundamental rite of Hajj.

On the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, millions of pilgrims gather on this plain from Dhuhr until sunset. It is a day of deep spiritual reflection, intense prayer, and seeking forgiveness from Allah. It is believed that on this day, the mercy of Allah descends in abundance.

This is also the location where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered his famous Last Sermon (Khutbah al-Wada) to the thousands of companions who had accompanied him for Hajj.

• Wuquf-e-Arafat: The mandatory stay on the plains of Arafat from noon to sunset.
• Combined Prayers: Dhuhr and Asr prayers are combined and shortened (Qasr) here.
• Supplication: Pilgrims spend their time standing in prayer, facing the Qibla, and asking for mercy.
