ANTARA/Syifa Yulinnas

The last batch of haj pilgrims from Aceh pray together during a ceremony in Asrama Haji, Banda Aceh, Aceh, Friday (25/8). According to the Indonesian Haj Management Committee (PPPIH) at the Aceh embarkation point, of the total of 4,473 pilgrims from Aceh, 3,679 of them – comprising 1,468 men and 2,211 women - have arrived in Mecca, Saudi Arabia

The Quran mentions three things that must not be done by those on the haj, especially those wearing ihram (attire worn by pilgrims). One of them is quarreling.

All pilgrims head for the Arafah plain for wukuf (grand assembly), the peak of the haj rituals. Going to Arafah is obligatory for pilgrims and surrogates may not be sent, which is why there is the "wukuf safari" for people who are seriously ill. Prophet Muhammad SAW emphasized that the haj was the Arafah (wukuf).
