Before sunset Day of Arafat

Last precious minutes in the conclusion Dar of Arafat. This day is the culminating event of the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Shots of crowds, traffic, and Jabal al-noor. Mountain of light. At dawn of this day, nearly 2 million Muslim pilgrims will make their way from Mecca to a nearby hillside and plain called Mount Arafat and the Plain of Arafat. During the entire day, from dawn until sunset, Muslim pilgrims stand in earnest supplication and devotion, praying for God's abundant forgiveness. Tears are shed readily as those who gather make repentance and seek God's mercy, recite words of prayer and remembrance, and gather together as equals before their Lord.
