Over two million Muslims performs Haj

Over 2 mln Muslims throng Mount Arafat as Haj reaches climax

"All our needs were taken care of and we were really looked after in Mina," Mohammad Shahid, an Indian pilgrim from Amroha said. "This is my third Haj, standing here in Arafat is a great feeling. This year Haj is falling on a Friday, it is a great feeling. A lot of people back home have asked me to pray for them. Allah has made this journey possible," the 51-year-old said. Many elderly people are part of the Indian group, including a 109-year-old man from Murshidabad, West Bengal, and another centenarian from Bagpath, Uttar Pradesh. "You get this chance only rarely, I am very excited to be here. It is a mixed feeling of fear of God, happiness and love for God," Muhamed Mizic from Bosnia said. "I will pray for peace, for love and for my people back home," he said.
