Going to arafat
It is
sunnah to start going to arafat some time after sunrise on the 9th
Dh-Hijja when sun light will spread around mina. But hajj package
managers began to carry hajjis to arafat by bus from 8th Dh-Hijja
night to avoid traffic jam. Keep your bag at the tent if you have
weighty bag because you are coming back to your tent after one day.
Carry the sleeping mat, map of mina & arafat, one piece of extra
ihram cloth , a towel & your regular medicine if any. Do not
carry any weighty food because lot of food are supplied to hajjis at
arfat. If you carry weighty things to arafat you will be in trouble
when you will come back from arafat to Muzdalifah & Muzdalifah to
mina by walking.
Stay at arafat
Stay
at arafat on the 9th Dh-Hijja noon to sunset is the most important
activity of the hajj, without stay at arafat hajj will not be
completed. Normally hajj package managers arrange tent for hajjis at
arafat, hajjis can seat & take rest in tent at arafat. Many foods
are supplied to hajjis by different donors. Do not eat heavy so that
you become ill, bear it mind that you have to walk to Muzdalifah from
arafat. Though there is arrangement to go to Muzdalifah from arafat
by bus but due to severe traffic jam bus moves very slowly its take
long time to reach & hajjis who are in bus feel great tension
weather they will be able to reach to Muzdalifah in time, then some
hajjis get down from bus & start walking.
Share your experience to stay at arafat.
