Muzdalifah

Muzdalifah is a sacred area near Mecca where Muslims gather during the Hajj pilgrimage, specifically after sunset on the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah. Pilgrims collect pebbles for the symbolic stoning of the devil in Mina and pray peacefully under open skies. It serves as a transition point between the Day of Arafat and the ritual of stoning, emphasizing reflection, unity, and spiritual focus. The area holds great significance in purification and devotion, embodying a collective religious experience central to the Hajj rites.
