Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and
Ruler of Dubai, has sent a message of support to pilgrims performing Hajj on
Arafat Day.
Sheikh
Mohammed also offered his best wishes to Muslims in the Emirates and across the
world on the occasion of Eid Al Adha.
He
called for all nations in the Arab world to be in “good health” and “safe and
secure” in a message on Twitter on Friday.
“On
this great day, the day of Arafat, we ask the Almighty to accept from those
performing the Hajj and from us, all our good deeds,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote.
“We
wish the UAE and all Muslims, Eid Al-Adha Mubarak.
“May
our nation, and all Arab and Islamic nations be in good health, safe and secure
every year.”
Pilgrims
were gathering at Mount Arafat — a granite hill about 20 kilometres from the
Kaaba on the Arafat plains — on Friday to participate in the most important
ritual of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
The Day of Arafat marks the second day of
Hajj, when believers make their way to the mountain where the Prophet Mohammed
gave his last sermon.
Pilgrims
will make their way to the Masjid Nimrah on the grounds of Arafat where they
will listen to the Arafat sermon.
Eid Al Adha, known as the festival of the sacrifice,
will begin on Saturday, July 9.
