Tawaf is done. Then the pilgrim proceeds to Saayi after praying two (rakaa) at Abraham standing place. After finishing Saayi, the haji is ready to go to Mina area for the watering day. Today, 22/9/2015 - correspondent to the eighth of Thulhijjah 1436 H, it is called the watering day. The pilgrims are all here in Mina area, getting water and whatever they need for the great Hajj, tomorrow, the ninth of Thulhijjah which is the day of Arafa. They pray most of the prayers here and stay overnight. (for more, see my previous blog about Hajj)

Iyah Evangelina! posi sei? Kairia mo! Ifharisto. Excuse my bad Greek Eva. The articles about Ramadan and Hajj, are mainly to give an idea or to focus the light on the basic steps for those important pillars of Islam. It's true, there were no comments about them, but we are trying to seek the reward from God. Thanks for your interest and understanding, my lady. Don't forget to extend my greetings of Eid to your respected family and friends.
Dara thanks for sharing. I want to add:
This is Hajj, all obeying to the commandments of Allah and follow the Sunnah of Muhammad and Ibrahim (May peace be upon them both).
The Arkaan (Rituals) of Hajj may seem strange, but the mere spirit just to obey what had been commanded.
I have also been blessed by Allah to perform Hajj and gone through all this but believe me there is none on earth who didn't/don't have his/her hair raised when first sight fall on the kaaba.
I had seen a documentary, an Australian lady who wanted to experience these feelings, revert to Islam and visited for Hajj. She explained, before visiting it was all very strange for her, but when she visited actually she knew the meaning of SUBMISSION to the will and commandments of Allah.
I wish to visit again..............let's see when? It is also a truth that the order for each and every person comes from up there.
