On Saturday, over 65,000 Nigerian pilgrims joined millions of Muslims worldwide in observing Arafat Day at Muna, Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This gathering is a pivotal moment in the Hajj pilgrimage, taking place at Mount Arafat, also known as the Hill of Mercy, approximately 20 kilometers southeast of Mecca.

Arafat Day marks the climax of Hajj, where pilgrims engage in profound spiritual activities, standing together to seek mercy, blessings, prosperity, and good health from Almighty Allah. The event is often described as the most memorable part of the pilgrimage due to its intense spiritual significance.

The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the pilgrimage was conducted under stringent security measures coordinated by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and Saudi authorities. Security personnel ensured the safe and orderly movement of vehicles and pedestrians by securing routes and implementing transportation plans.

The NAHCON and Saudi officials provided extensive services in the Arafat area, including medical, emergency, and food services, to support the needs of pilgrims from around the world fulfilling the fifth pillar of Islam.

Dr. Abdallah Gadonkaya addressed the Nigerian pilgrims, urging them to use the opportunity to seek divine forgiveness and solutions to their challenges. He also encouraged them to pray for peace and economic prosperity in parts of Nigeria facing security issues. Dr. Gadonkaya emphasized the importance of good conduct and behavior to positively represent Nigeria.
