*Day 1: 8th of Dhul-Hijjah (Day of Tarwiyah)* The Hajj rite begins on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, the Day of Tarwiyah. The pilgrims proceed to Mina on this day, a site 7 kilometres from Mecca. Pilgrims dress in Ihram attire, entering the state of purity and intention to perform Hajj. Pilgrims spend the day in prayer and remembrance in Mina, performing shortened prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr) without combining them. *The Day of Tarwiyah is a phase of preparation, where the pilgrims get ready for the next day, the Day of Arafat, which is the most important pillar of Hajj.* *#hajj2025* *#hajjmabrūr*
