Two million pilgrims ascend hill for hajj

The annual pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, is reaching its conclusion. Believers gathered in Arafat, where Prophet Mohammed gave his last sermon, to pray for the Palestinians in Gaza. Despite warnings from Saudi Arabia against political activities during the Hajj, there were instances of pilgrims expressing support for the Palestinians.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also showed his support for the Palestinians during the pilgrimage. He emphasized the need to fully support the resistance of Palestine and the people of Gaza. This year’s prayer at Arafat was marked by extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 46 degrees.

The Hajj will continue until Wednesday, with around 1.8 million pilgrims expected to participate. This year’s pilgrimage has seen expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian cause despite warnings against political activities. The gathering in Arafat served as an opportunity for believers to come together in prayer and reflection.
