Lots of pilgrims walking to Muzdalifah from Arafat / Arafah during Hajj 2006

This video uploaded yesterday is also in Arabic, but it is great coverage of the Hajjis on their way from Arafat to Muzdalifah. If you are in a hurry, try sliding ahead to 6:15 or 9:00 and you will see a river of Hajjis making their way. The pilgrims are coming from the wuquf at Arafat, standing or sitting in prayer during the day, seeking forgiveness for every mistake or sin of the past, seeking protection from the fire, and seeking the bounty and strength of Allah subhanahu wata ala in this life and on the Day of Judgment. May Allah subhanahu wata ala grant their prayers and accept their Hajj, in sha Allah. As this night began the Hajjis left their station in Arafat and began walking or riding in buses to Muzadalifah. Here they are commanded by Allah subhanahu wata ala to spend the night in the open, with no tents or buildings to shelter them. Indeed, they are not even to pull blankets above their heads. Again, every Hajji is made equal. Even if some had grand tents in Mina and some had to sleep on the street, even if some enjoyed grand meals in Arafat and some had to be content with dates, here, they are again absolutely equal. When one wakes in Muzadalifah, the Hajji appreciates all the bounty that Allah subhanahu wata ala has given him in this life. Alhamdolillah, all praise is for Allah. Allah Ho Akbar, Allah is Greater.
