Thousand of Nigerian pilgrims, joined millions of fellow Muslims on the plains of Mount Arafat today, in commemoration of the Hajj holy rites in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Being the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (the Month of Hajj), widely known as the Day of Arafat, pilgrims of vast nationalities trooped from their previous camp in the tent city of Mina, to nearby plains of Arafat, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave his farewell sermon, according to Islamic tenets.

On Mount Arafat, pilgrims stand in earnest supplication and devotion, praying for God’s abundant forgiveness, while clerics admonish them on issues of religious and moral importance. The day closes upon the recitation of the evening prayer of Al Maghrib.

Nigeria on Friday, last week, concluded the transportation of pilgrims to this year’s Hajj with the arrival of about 55, 000 pilgrims. Of the figure, about 37, 000 pilgrims were airlifted by NAHCON while the remaining contingent were handled by private operators.

Good question.

The spiritual sense is that buildings are made for humans to live , and if it is a church building , to worship God.

Prophets that go to mountains do so to have a quiet and solitary time to fellowship with God.

Going to mountain because a prophet was there is a useless exercise. Because Jesus was on mount Abija I too must be there is a useless religious exercise that cannot save .

It is knowing the true God and worship Him in truth and in holiness that can save.

John 4:21-24 KJV
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
[22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
