Tuesday, 9 Dhul-Hijjah 1447 AH, corresponding to 6 Jawza 1405 HS
In accordance with the plan organized by the Ministry of MOHIA, and with the arrival of the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah (the Day of Arafah), the process of transferring Afghan pilgrims from Mina to the Plain of Arafat was carried out successfully, in an organized and coordinated manner.
The Afghan pilgrims, who had been transferred yesterday (Yawm al-Tarwiyah) from Makkah Al-Mukarramah to Mina, after performing the five daily prayers, engaging in the remembrance of Allah Almighty, reciting Talbiyah, supplications, and other acts of worship, were transported this morning in an orderly manner through organized transportation arrangements to the Plain of Arafat in order to perform the greatest and most essential pillar of Hajj (Wuquf at Arafat).
This process was conducted under the direct supervision and guidance of the Honorable Minister of MOHIA, His Excellency Sheikh-ul-Hadith Dr. Noor Mohammad Saqib, with full coordination among the Hajj Mission officials, field committees, the relevant authorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and service companies. The transfer was implemented according to the designated schedule and organized caravans, enabling Afghan pilgrims to reach their tents safely, easily, and systematically.
At the Plain of Arafat, fully equipped and standard tents have also been allocated for Afghan pilgrims through the close coordination of the Hajj Mission and service companies, where all necessary facilities for their comfort and peace have been provided. The pilgrims will remain at Arafat until sunset and will spend this blessed day in supplication to Allah Almighty, seeking forgiveness, reciting Talbiyah, remembering Allah, and performing various acts of worship. They will also offer special prayers for the progress of their country, the preservation of the Islamic system, the unity of Muslims, and the security and prosperity of the Islamic Ummah.
The Rituals Committee of the Hajj Mission and the appointed instructors are providing pilgrims with information regarding the importance of Wuquf at Arafat, the virtues of this day, and the correct performance of Hajj rituals, so that pilgrims may carry out their worships in accordance with the principles of Sharia and religious guidance.
After sunset, Afghan pilgrims will be transferred from the Plain of Arafat to Muzdalifah through organized transportation in order to spend the night there in remembrance and supplication. Necessary arrangements have also been made for the pilgrims in Muzdalifah.
The Honorable Minister of MOHIA, along with other ministry officials, is closely monitoring the condition of the pilgrims, assessing the activities of the various committees of the Hajj Mission, and providing the necessary guidance to officials for delivering quality services to pilgrims, further improving affairs, and preventing any potential problems.
