MECCA: Sheikh Dr Yousaf bin Muhammad bin Saeed imam of Hajj who is also member of Council of Senior Scholars delivered Hajj Sermon at Masjid-e-Nimra.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims from around world converged in Maidan-e- Arafat on Tuesday to perform Rukn-e-Azam of Hajj “Waqoof-e-Arafat” which marks climax of Hajj. All Muslims are like part of one body when any part of body hurts, the pain is felt in whole body, he added. Muslims are urged to exhibit unity and behave politely and avoid conflicts, Sheikh Dr Yousaf said in his Hajj sermon.

“Muslims should exhibit best of manners as only those who will have good manners will be close to Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) on day of judgment”.

“Combination of testimony that only Allah is to be worshipped, along with testimony that Muhammad (PBUH) is Allah’s messenger.”

Sheikh Dr Yousaf in his Hajj Sermon further said that respecting and valuing humanity is compulsory for all Muslims. “Success lies in fear of Allah Almighty and following his orders”.

He said Allah has ordered Muslims to keep praying and paying zakat to needy people. Sheikh Yousaf urged Muslims to worship in such way that Almighty Allah is seeing them. After Azaan-e- Maghrib, pilgrims left for Muzdalifah where they offered Maghrib and Isha prayers together and spent night under open sky. From Muzdalifah, pilgrims collected pebbles to throw at Satin next morning.

After offering Fajr Prayer at Muzdalifah, they will leave for Mina for remaining Hajj rituals.
