        "content": "<p>Pilgrims from around the world have begun gathering at the Arafat\nPlain to perform wuquf, the climax of the Hajj pilgrimage. On the\n1,800-hectare sandy expanse, God\u2019s guests will worship in a setting\noften described as a miniature of the Mahshar Plain. According to\ngathered data, out of approximately 221,000 Indonesian pilgrims, 5,426\nfrom the Aceh Embarkation (BTJ) are currently moving towards Arafat.\nThis movement marks the start of the critical phase of this year\u2019s Hajj\nrituals. Abdullah AR, Hajj Guidance Officer from KBIHU Ibnu Mas\u2019ud in\nAceh, stated that Aceh pilgrims staying at Burj Al Wahda Almutamayyiz\nHotel departed for Arafat on Monday (25 May) local time. Those in kloter\n7, 8, and 9 were assigned to Maktab 56. \u2018From Sunday night to Monday\nearly morning, pilgrims appeared eager to await the wuquf time, with a\ndeep longing to follow in the footsteps of the Prophets on the Arafat\nPlain,\u2019 Abdullah told Media Indonesia. Prior to departure, pilgrims\nreceived religious guidance in mosques near their hotel and around the\nMasjidil Haram. Abdullah advised pilgrims to engage in significant acts\nof worship, especially leading up to the Days of Tashriq. Abdullah,\nformerly Head of the Pidie Regency Religious Affairs Office, stressed\nthe importance of physical strength and unwavering faith for pilgrims to\nnavigate the Armuzna phase (Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina). In his\nmessage, commonly known as Abi Abdullah, he reminded that Arafat is a\ntangible representation of the Day of Mahshar. Here, all humans stand on\nequal footing regardless of rank, wealth, or social status. \u2018There are\nno high-ranking officials or billionaires here. All remain silent,\nawaiting reckoning and reflecting on whether they will be saved or\ndamned. There is no manipulation or image-building\u2014only total submission\nto Allah SWT,\u2019 he emphasised. A deeply religious atmosphere pervades\nMecca ahead of the mass departure. Pilgrims are encouraged to immerse\nthemselves in prayer and supplication during wuquf, as Arafat is where\nprayers are offered with the hope of divine acceptance.<\/p>",
