Spiritual Climax: Muslim Pilgrims Gather on Mount Arafat for Hajj 2025 Prayers
On June 5, 2025, thousands of Muslim pilgrims ascended Mount Arafat—also known as Jabal al-Rahma (Mount of Mercy)—to observe the most sacred day of the Hajj pilgrimage. As the sun rose over the plains of Saudi Arabia, the mountain echoed with heartfelt du'as (prayers), tears, and repentance, marking the spiritual high point of Hajj.
Reported by @channelstv, this moment is deeply rooted in Islamic history, as it commemorates the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) Farewell Sermon and represents the ultimate act of submission, reflection, and unity among Muslims worldwide.
Mount Arafat is not just a location—it's the spiritual heart of Hajj. Pilgrims spend the entire day in standing (Wuquf), praying for forgiveness, mercy, and blessings for themselves and their loved ones.
“Hajj is Arafat,” said Prophet Muhammad (SAW), highlighting the importance of this single day.
Those who miss the standing at Arafat miss the essence of Hajj itself.
Muslims from over 160 countries gathered shoulder to shoulder—regardless of race, status, or nationality—dressed in simple white garments (ihram), a powerful reminder that before God, all are equal.
For many, the climb is symbolic of:
-
Personal sacrifice
-
Repentance
-
Hope for a new beginning
Social media has been flooded with prayers, reflections, and images from the mountain—capturing both the solemnity and the majesty of the occasion.
