'Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik, Labbaik l

a sharika laka Labbaik, Innal Hamda Wan Ni'mata Laka Wal Mulk, La sharika laka'... The sky and air are now filled with the echoes of the sweet sounds and echoes of the holy Arafat mountain. The oneness and greatness of the Almighty Allah is being proclaimed every moment in the Talbiya of the beautiful and loud voices of the Nainas. 'I am present. O Allah! I am present. You have no partner. All praise and blessings are only Yours. The dominion is Yours. You have no partner.'

The plain of Arafa is filled with the sound of Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik.

The holy Hajj is the great gathering

of the world's Muslims. Since this morning, the desert plain of Arafat in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, has been filled with a miraculous and virtuous whiteness. It is white and white due to the presence of pilgrims wearing Ihram made of two pieces of white cloth. Devout Muslims have performed this holy Hajj, one of the main pillars of Islam, with a yearning for liberation from sins and self-purification.
