Muzdalifah, The pilgrims spend the night at Muzdalifah, often sleeping in the open air, before leaving for Mina the next morning. Muzdalifah is preceded by a day at Arafat, glorifying Allah, repeating the Supplication, repenting to Allah and asking Him for Forgiveness. In Arafat one must pray the Zuhr and Asr Prayers shortened and combined during the time of Zuhr. After sunset on the 9th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, pilgrims travel to Muzdalifah.
