He prayed for unity among Muslims and better conditions for the global Muslim community (ummah), as millions of pilgrims gathered for the most important day of the Haj pilgrimage.
The sermon, traditionally given on the Day of Arafat, emphasized themes of brotherhood, peace, and adherence to Islamic principles. Pilgrims listened attentively as the Imam called for solidarity and mutual support among Muslims worldwide.
Huge numbers of worshippers spent the day on Mount Arafat, engaging in prayers and supplications. The Day of Arafat is considered the climax of the Haj, where pilgrims seek forgiveness and mercy from Allah.
