With the sunrise of Friday morning, the convoys of pilgrims began heading to the level of the pure Arafat, filled with an atmosphere of faith, filled with reverence and serenity. While the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced at exactly nine in the morning the success of the plan to strengthen the pilgrims to the pilgrimage to Arafat, the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, explained in the sermon of Arafa that one of the values of Islam is to distance oneself from everything that leads to disharmony, hatred and division. And that mutual affection and compassion prevail in our dealings, while the General Authority for Statistics reported that the total number of pilgrims for the current year reached (899,353) pilgrims, including (779,919) pilgrims from outside the Kingdom through various ports, while the number of pilgrims from inside reached (119,434) pilgrims, both citizens and residents.
