Drone Footage Captures the Immense Scale and Spiritual Intensity of Hajj 2025

Millions of Muslims converge on Mount Arafat for Hajj. The annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is a monumental event, drawing millions of Muslims from across the globe. This year, Al Arabiya news captured breathtaking footage of the event, providing a unique perspective on the vast crowds of pilgrims. Using drones and time-lapse technology, the news channel documented the arrival of pilgrims to Mount Arafat, a key location in the Hajj rituals. The video shows the immense scale of the gathering and the spiritual intensity of the moment. One pilgrim, speaking to Al Arabiya, said, "It's an overwhelming feeling of unity and faith." The video also includes the recitation of Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, a powerful declaration of faith repeated by pilgrims throughout the Hajj. This year's pilgrimage is particularly significant due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, allowing a larger number of pilgrims to attend than in previous years. The successful completion of the Hajj signifies the triumph of faith and the global unity of the Muslim community.
