After a night in Mina, they left for the Mount of Arafat in the early hours today.
The Hajj is the great pilgrimage to Mecca - a journey that every Muslim, with the means to, must make before they die.
The passage to Mina marks the official launch of the hajj on the eighth day of the Muslim calendar month of Dhul Hijja.
The day is known as Tarwiah (Watering) as pilgrims in the past stopped at Mina to feed their animals and stock up for the following day's trip to Mount Arafat.
"O my Lord, here I am at Your service, here I am.
There is no partner with You, here I am.
Truly the praise and the provisions are Yours,
and so is the dominion and sovereignty."

Kak Nur,I seru nama you ntok datang haji di Mount Rahmah.May Allah Bless you and Children.
when and why has the spelling of Haj become Hajj? More arabization?
A Comparison
1. Muslims go around their kaaba anti clockwise seven times. When they go around their kaaba, Muslims wear two pieces of cloth without any stitching. This is a sign of humble piety. Muslims say the kaaba is their house of god.
2. Hindus go around their temples anti clockwise seven times. When they go around their temples, Hindus wear two pieces of cloth without any stitching. This is a sign of humble piety. Hindus say their Hindu temple is the house of their gods. Muslims call them kafir.
