Today, the ninth day of the month of Dhul-Hijja in Luna Calendar, Muslims across the globe have converged on the sacred ground, Arafah, to seek spiritual rebirth.

Convergence on the plain of Arafah is the real rite of hajj, sacrosanct for pilgrims yearning for acceptable pilgrimage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Prior to arrival on Arafah, over 50,000 Nigerian pilgrims yesterday joined their counterparts from various countries in the world on a mass journey from Makkah to the tent city of Muna, a temporary settlement where pilgrims passed night.

“I’m really in high spirits for the journey of Arafah. Arafah is considered the most important and we are trying to relax here in Muna ahead of Arafah. We are ready to pray hard on Arafah, seek forgiveness and pray for our leaders for wisdom and guidance. “Arafah is a very big day to Muslims globally, not only for us in Makkah but for Muslims around the world. It is a period we take advantage of to pray for Allah’s forgiveness. We are all eagerly waiting to witness tomorrow to rally our pains and difficulties in Nigeria. The economy is bad; many families can’t even afford animal sacrifice. We are optimistic Allah will answer our prayers,” Gobe said.
