About this Event
“There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah…” (Muslim)
Among the sacred first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah stands as the most powerful of them all. This is the day when millions of pilgrims gather on the plains of Arafah, raising trembling hands and spilling their hearts before Allah.
For those of us who long for that moment but cannot make Hajj, we want you to experience something of this moment.
This year, we invite you to honour the day of Arafah:
