Arabiaweather.com - On the ninth of Dhu al-Hijjah every year, the pilgrimage to the Sacred House of God stands at the level of Arafat, the pure, to perform the greatest pillar of the ritual pilgrimage in an atmosphere of faith and in the largest human gathering that is repeated every year.

Arafat, Arafat, Mount of Mercy and Mona, names may change, change, and multiply, but that will not detract from the sanctity of the place anything .. What are the reasons for these designations? We start with the “Mona” area, which the scholars said is that the reason for calling it by this name is the abundance of what is hoped for, that is, bloodshed.

Al-Qurtubi said in al-Tafseer and others about the name of a mountain that he knew: They said in a name that he knew by this name that people know each other in it, and it was said that Gabriel, peace be upon him, toured Abraham, and the viewer showed him and said to him: Did you know? And Ibrahim says, I knew, I knew. It was said that Adam, peace be upon him, when he fell from heaven, he and Eve met in that place, and he knew and knew him.

As for his name, Mount of Mercy, Sheikh Muhammed bin Uthaimin, may God have mercy on him, replied,

This name I do not know of originally from the Sunnah, that is: the mountain that is in Arafat, to which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood is called the Mountain of Mercy, and if it does not have an origin from the Sunnah it should not be called that, and those who called it this name Perhaps they noticed that this position is a great position, in which God’s forgiveness and mercy are shown to those standing in Arafat so they named him with this name, and the first is that he is not called by this name, and he says: Mount Arafat, or the mountain with which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood.
