Malaysian Pilgrims' Emotional Hajj Journey: From Arafah to Muzdalifah

Malaysian Hajj Pilgrims Embark on Moving Journey from Arafah to Muzdalifah Mecca, Saudi Arabia – June 6, 2025 – Millions of Muslims worldwide completed the Wukuf at Arafah, the spiritual highlight of the Hajj pilgrimage. Among them were thousands of Malaysian pilgrims, whose journey from Arafah to Muzdalifah was captured in a poignant video by Astro Awani. The video shows pilgrims carrying their luggage, their faces reflecting a mix of exhaustion and spiritual fulfillment. The chants of 'Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik' (Here I am, O Lord, here I am) filled the air, a powerful testament to their devotion. One pilgrim, speaking on condition of anonymity, shared, "This journey is not just a physical one; it's a journey of the soul. We seek forgiveness and closer connection with God." The overnight stay in Muzdalifah, known as 'Mabit,' is a significant part of the Hajj. It is a time of quiet reflection and prayer, before the symbolic stoning of the Jamarat in Mina. The video beautifully captures this atmosphere of quiet contemplation and anticipation. The smooth transition of the Malaysian pilgrims to Muzdalifah, as shown in the video, is a testament to the organizational efforts of the Hajj authorities. The video concludes with pilgrims boarding buses, their faces serene, ready for the next phase of their spiritual journey. The peaceful and organized nature of this transition offers a positive and symbolic end to the report.
