The Valley of Mina.
Mina (Also known as the Tent City) is situated 5 km to the east of
Mecca. There are more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents which provide
temporary accommodation to pilgrims. In the Valley of Mina is the
Jamarat Bridge, the location of the Stoning of the Devil ritual. At the
start of Hajj, pilgrims go to Mina on 8th of Zilhija and spend their
first night there. Their next night stay is at Muzdalfa and then next
two nights stay is again in Mina.

The Plain of Arfat. Arfat is a vast open ground where the largest gathering of Muslims takes place every year on 9th of Zilhija. It is called
“Waqoof -e- Arfat” (stay in Arfat). Muslims offer two combined prayers here under one Azan on Hajj Day. The
qasar (shortened) prayers of Zuhar and Asar are offered here jointly just after concluding
Khtuba-e-Hajj.
Hajj is actually the name of Waqoof-e-Arfat and there is no substitute
or penalty (damm) if someone does not attend the stay of Arfat.
Penalty(damm) may be given against other Hajj elements but
Waqoof-e-Arfat is essential. At Arfat pilgrims spend their
time glorifying Allah, repeating the supplication, repenting to Allah
and asking Him for forgiveness.
Masjid e Nimra at Arfat.
Masjid e Nimra is situated in Arfat. Here Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
delivered the last historic sermon (Khutba) of Hajj. Every year on 9th
Zihija, Hajj Khutba is delivered from this mosque. Only two salat
(Prayers) are offered in this mosque during a year. On Haj day ( the 9th
Zilhija) Zuhar and Asar prayers are offered jointly by pilgrims. During
Hajj it is very difficult for every pilgrim to reach here but in other
days, the mosque remains empty and might be seen easily. It’s courtyard
area remains open for
nawafil prayers but inner hall remains closed.

Waqoof-e-Muzdalifah.
Muzdalifah (مزدلفة) is an open, level area near Mecca associated with
the Hajj. It lies just southeast of Mina on the route between Mina and
Arafat. Each year on the 9th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah,
after the waqoof-e-Arafat, pilgrims leave for Muzdalifah after sunset.
They offer Mughrib and Isha prayers together at Muzdalifah. At
Muzdalifah they collect pebbles which will be thrown in the Stoning of
the Devil ritual in Mina during the next three or four days. The
pilgrims spend the night at Muzdalifah, praying and sleeping in the
open. They leave for Mina the next morning. The Wuqoof of Muzdalifah is
Wajib and missing it makes a penalty (damm) compulsory.
Hajis Going Towards Jamarat at Mina for Stoning the Devils. From
Muzdalifah, the pilgrims come to Mina for Stoning of the Jamarāt or
Stoning of the Devil. They fling pebbles at three walls, called Jamarāt.
The stoning is performed on the day of Eid al-Adha, and two or three
days after. Until 2004 the three Jamarāt were tall pillars. After the
2004 Hajj, Saudi authorities replaced the pillars with 26 m (85 ft) long
walls for safety. The names of three jamarāt are: the smallest jamrah
(aj-jamrah aṣ-ṣughrā), the middle jamrah (aj-jamrah al-wusṭā), and the
largest jamrah or Jamrah of Aqaba (aj-jamrah al-kubrā ).
