| About Waqf-el-Arafat |
| Waqf-el-Arafat or Day of Hajj commemorates the conclusion of Allah's revelations to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) on Mount Arafat. Muslims on Hajj, attend special services on this day at Mount Arafat. The original day is on a Friday, but now the Day falls on the 9th day of Dhul Hijja of the lunar Islamic Calendar. Muslims not on Hajj observe this day by attending a local mosque. Although Waqf al Arafat is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. |
