HAJJ


AROUND two million white-robed Muslims converged Monday at Mount Arafat as the hajj, the world's largest annual pilgrimage, peaked at the site of the Prophet Mohammed's last sermon. Chanting the Talbiyah, 'O God, here we come, answering your call,' pilgrims set off before dawn in a bid to reach the top of the hill that dominates the plain of Arafat.

  1. I don't know how to acknowledge the photo, other than to say it is from Reuters. As a non-Muslim I can not go to their holy sites.
