The Day of Arafah, which according to Saudi Arabia, falls on June 5, holds immense spiritual significance as pilgrims gather at Mount Arafat for the climax of Hajj.

Eid-el-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, takes place on June 6.

Eid-el-Adha, observed by Muslims worldwide, celebrates Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham’s) dedication and willingness to sacrifice his son in service to Allah.

Haramain Sharifain also posted a supplication often recited by pilgrims entering a state of ihram: “Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayk la sharika laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda, Wannimata, Laka Wal-Mulk, La Sharika Lak.”
