The first Day:
The 8th of Dhul Hijjah Heading to Mina:
In the morning of the 8th of Dhul Hijjah (the day of Tarwiyah),
after the Fajr prayers, and after sunrise and Doha prayers,
all pilgrims head towards Mina.
They stay there till the sunrise of the day of Arafah, and
pray in Mina five prayers (Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr
of the following day, the 9th. of Dhul Hijja). While going to
Mina, the pilgrim says:
“O Allah! In You is my hope, and to You I supplicate. So
make my best hopes come true, forgive me, grant me a favor as
You bestowed upon Your obedient servants, You are over all things
Competent”.
In Mina, the pilgrim increases invocations and says “Our
Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the
Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment
of the Fire”.
It is a Sunnah (prophetic tradition) to stay for a while
and pray in Al-Khayf mosque (in Mina).
