Tag für Tag

Die Tage des Hadsch, einer nach dem anderen. Jeder Tag hat vier Teile: was zu tun ist, warum, was man im Herzen trägt, und die Bittgebete.

  1. 8 Dhul Hijjah The Day of Tarwiyah Hajj begins. You put on ihram, if you are not already in it, and go to Mina to wait for Arafah.
  2. 9 Dhul Hijjah The Day of Arafah The pillar of hajj. You stand on the plain of Arafah from midday until sunset, asking.
  3. Night of 10 Dhul Hijjah The night at Muzdalifah After sunset you come down from Arafah and spend the night under the open sky at Muzdalifah.
  4. 10 Dhul Hijjah The Day of Sacrifice The busiest day of hajj, and Eid. Stoning, sacrifice, shaving or trimming, and the tawaf of hajj.
  5. 11 to 13 Dhul Hijjah The days of Tashriq Back in Mina. Each day you stone the three pillars and stand in du'a after the first two.
  6. Before you leave Makkah The farewell tawaf Your last act in Makkah is a final tawaf around the House. Then you go home a different person.
