Hundreds in Gaza Read Quran on Day of Arafah
The Day of Arafah is the ninth day in the lunar Hijri month of Dhul Hajjah and the day when the rituals of Hajj begin.
On this day, the Hajj pilgrims all go to the Arafat (Arafah) desert, praying to God, repenting and thanking God for giving them the opportunity to perform Hajj.
After saying the Noon and Asr prayers, and reciting supplications on the hills of Jabal Rahmah, the pilgrims move toward Mashaar Al-Haram so that they can be in Mina on the day of Eid al-Adha.
Photos and videos of Quran reading in Gaza on Day of Arafah have been shared in social media, attracting praise from social media users who say the sever conditions in the Palestinian enclave, which has been facing a genocidal war waged by the Israeli regime for over eight months, have not prevented the people from reading, reciting and memorizing the Holy Book.
These people reading Quran in refugee camps teach the lesson of steadfastness and fortitude to the world, one user wrote in Facebook.
