(Day of Arafah) * After sunrise on Ninth Day of Zul-Hijjah, he is to set out from Mina to Arafat reciting Talbiya and saying Allah is the Greatest (Allahu Akbar). * It is detestable (Makruh) to fast on this Day of Arafa, for the Prophet stood in Arafat breakfasting with milk in the presence of all pilgrims. * It is sunnah for the pilgrim to stay in Namirah till after midday, if that is possible. * Listen to the Khutbah (sermon) at the Mosque of Namira, then combine in advance and shorten Dhuhr and Asr prayer (Noon and Afternoon Prayer). * He must be sure when he enters Arafah that he is inside Arafah, because the Valley of U'rana is not a part of Arafah. * He is recommended to raise his hands and face the Qibla while supplicating and remembering Allah till sunset. * The whole of Arafat is reserved for Wuquf (standing). If he can keep the Mountain of Rahma between him and the Qibla, it will be better. * It is not the Sunnah of the Prophet to climb the mountain. * He says very often the following prayer (Du'a). “There is no God but Allah, Alone. He has no partner. Sovereignty belongs to Him, and praise too, He gives life and takes it. He has power over all things”. * He says very often peace and blessings on the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him). * He does not leave Arafat till the sunset. * After sunset the pilgrim moves from Arafat to Muzadalifa calmly. If he finds a wide space he can move quickly. * He performs in Muzdalifa the Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer together at the time of the latter, he should not pray any extra prayer except Witr prayer. * He sleeps till dawn. Women and weak people may leave for Mina at any time after midnight, or disappearance of the moon.
