RIYADH, May 28 (WARYATV) – – Sheikh Maher bin Hamad Al-Muaiqly, an imam at the Grand Mosque in Makkah, will deliver the Arafat sermon for this year’s Hajj, the Presidency of Religious Affairs announced on Monday following royal approval.
Worship at Arafat on the 9th of Dhu Al-Hijjah is considered the pinnacle of Hajj. Muslims around the world reflect on the actions of pilgrims by seeking forgiveness and praying for their deepest desires.
The Arafat sermon is delivered at the Namira Mosque, the second largest mosque in the Makkah region after the Grand Mosque. The mosque stands on the site where Prophet Muhammad delivered the Arafat sermon during his farewell pilgrimage.
