Going to Muzdalifah
It is
essential to stay at Arafat up to sunset of 9th Dh-Hijja . According
to Arabic calendar after sun set of 9th Dh-Hijja the night of 10th
Dh-Hijja starts. Most of the hajjis began to move from their tent
towards Muzdalifah after ashor salah. They go to boarder of Arafat &
stay there until sunset. After sunset the huge mass rush towards
pedestrian way & the area become very much crowd y. If you go by
walking you have enough time so do not rush to Arafat boarder
earlier. Go slow to avoid over crowd. Arafat to Muzdalifah is 5-8
kilometer depending your tent location at Arafat. It is very easy to
walk, do not walk very first or very slow. The pedestrian way is very
broad. Lot of toilets / wash rooms are available on both side of the
road. Take some water & fruit juice with you before start
walking. You will be very thirsty during walking but do not drink
much water.
It is
comparatively difficult to walk maintaining big group of hajjis. So
make small group of 2-3 hajjis, not more for easy walking. Take a
long stick host one or two small colored flag for your identity with
this stick. During walking host it up so that other person of your
group can locate you easily. All walking people are on same dress
ihram so it is very difficult to identify a person from behind,
because all look alike. Many people can not think about it before
but when problem occur they feel great tension . So be very careful
about this issue. Share your experience for pilgrims.
Stay at Muzdalifah
When
you reach to Muzdalifah the first thing to do is perform magrib &
esha salah at a time, then take some food & go for sleep by
placing mat on the ground, sleep until fazor azan then awake up &
perform fazor salah & began to walk toward boarder of Muzdalifah
to mina. You have to stay at Muzdalifah area until sunrise.
If you reach the boarder before sunrise stay there do
not cross Muzdalifah boarder before sunrise. Muzdalifah to Mina is
about 3-4 kilometer depending your location at Muzdalifah. So do not
hurry, you are now going to your tent at Mina, use your map to locate
your tent & see how to reach there, by which road you can go to
your tent. When you enter into mina then find out the road of your
tent & walk through that road to reach your tent easily. If you
need rest then go to your tent for rest. If no rest required then go
directly to jamarat for stone through before that take your
breakfast.
