The main reason Muslims go to Makkah is to pray in the Holy Mosque. Often, they perform the Umrah, the lesser pilgrimmage, while visiting the Holy Mosque. Once a year, the Hajj, the greater pilgrimmage, takes place in Makkah and nearby sites. During the Hajj, three million people worship in unison. If a person performs the Umrah or the Hajj correctly, all his/her sins are forgiven. Every adult, healthy, sane Muslim who has enough money to travel to Makkah and can make arrangements for the care of his/her dependents during the trip, must perform the Hajj once in a lifetime. In 2007, the Hajj will begin on Tuesday, December 18. The main reason Muslims go to Makkah is to pray in the Holy Mosque.

On the first day we collect 49 pebbles, throwing 7 at a big wall which is represented as the Devil. On the second day we throw the remaining ones on each of the three walls, two of the same size and one big one.

Please don't mix up the activities of 'Mina' and Muzdalfa

On the 9th of Zil hajj the Muslims stay in the field of Rafaat, and pray to Almighty Allah karim. Just at sunset they leave Arafat and come to Muzdalfa. They offer their Maghrib (Evening) and Isha Prayer together. Pray to Almighty Allah. They may also sleep for sometime. They collect small pebbles for stoning the Satan (jamarats). They offer their Morning prayer and just at sunrise leave Muzda;fa.

Muzdalifah is a valley between Mina and Mount Arafat in which pilgrims on Hajj spend the night in the open. It is here they gather pebbles to hurl at the pillars of Mina.

What do people do at the event of mina?

On the first official day of the pilgrimage (8th of Thul Hijjah), the millions of pilgrims that have now gathered to make Hajj, travel from Mecca to Mina, which is a small village east of the city between the Holy City of Makkah and Muzdalifah. It is necessary for you to wear an Ihram before you enter Mina, during your Hajj. There they spend the day and the night in enormous tent cities, which they pray in, read the Qur'an, and rest for the next day. Apart from the obvious tradition of staying in Mina overnight on the first day of Hajj, be sure to know that Mina also has two large mosques of which one is very historic.
