Qatari pilgrims head to Mina for Day of Tarwiyah
A number of Qatari pilgrims, under the official umbrella of the Qatar Hajj mission, will proceed to Mina to observe the Day of Tarwiyah on Wednesday morning. They will then spend the night there, in accordance with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
This will mark their final preparations before heading to Arafat the next morning for the pinnacle of Hajj rituals, which continues until sunset on Thursday, the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah.
The Qatar Hajj Mission has completed all organizational and logistical arrangements for the pilgrims' transfer to Mina, ensuring that all designated camps meet the highest standards. The plan prioritizes smooth movement, safety, and comfort, guaranteeing the best possible services during their stay.
This mobilization is part of a carefully coordinated plan developed in collaboration with the Communications and Support Unit, the Pilgrim Services Unit, and relevant Saudi authorities, ensuring an orderly and secure start to the sacred pilgrimage.
After spending the night in Mina, Qatari pilgrims will head to Arafat on Thursday morning, while other pilgrims will travel directly from their accommodations in Makkah to Arafat for the essential standing ritual, the most significant pillar of Hajj.
As the sun sets on the Day of Arafat, pilgrims will proceed to Muzdalifah to pray Maghrib and Isha combined (delayed), gather pebbles, and then make their way to Mina to perform the symbolic stoning of Jamarat Al Aqaba, followed by Tawaf Al Ifadah and the sacrificial rite, either personally or through authorized Saudi entities.

Eid Al Adha celebrated with faith and fervour around the country
Thousands of people flocked to prayer grounds, and later public places, as the country came alive with the spirit of Eid Al Adha on Friday. The joyous occasion was marked by prayers, gatherings, and acts of charity. The day began early, with thousands of worshippers heading to the Education City Stadium for Eid Al Adha prayers. 'The iconic arena's size and safety have led to it becoming a familiar setting for Eid prayers in recent years, following its role as a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 venue,' read a statement from Qatar Foundation. 'The Eid Al Adha gathering was organised by Qatar Foundation's Minaret Center, in collaboration with the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs. Following the prayer, families also enjoyed an array of cultural and entertainment activities, including henna artists, face painting, gifts of Eid Mubarak balloons, and the chance to meet cartoon characters,' the statemet added. Many mosques and prayer grounds around the country were also set up for welcoming devotees, and all places saw heavy participation. Following prayers, traditional animal sacrifices took place in designated facilities. Teams from Albaladiya ensured slaughterhouses operated smoothly, with meat distributed via streamlined processes. Doha's public spaces also buzzed with activities. Souq Waqif, the Doha Corniche, Katara Cultural Village, and different malls in the country were filled with thousands of revellers. Community groups organized clean-up drives in public parks, ensuring the festivities left a positive impact on the environment. The government arranged free transportation services to major mosques, and security personnel were deployed to manage crowds. Qatar Tourism also had a host of activities lined up to boost domestic tourism and showcase the country's cultural richness. The Katara Cultural Village transformed into a vibrant festive scene on the first day of Eid Al Adha. The festivities are set to conclude on Sunday. Katara Eidiyah (Eid gift) proved to be a huge crowd puller among children. Katara also saw a diverse rhythm of events, blending traditional, artistic, and modern elements. The Ardah (Qatari sword dance) and traditional folkloric performances captivated visitors with their authentic heritage, while street art performances added a lively modern flair to activities. Katara Beach and the Katara Hills also proved to be huge draws. Katara's restaurants welcomed guests with a rich selection of local and international cuisine, offering unique experiences of Qatari hospitality. The traditional food corner along the Corniche attracted lovers of heritage flavours, enhanced by the sea breeze and festive aromas. Culture also remained at the heart of the celebration, with Al Thuraya Planetarium in Building 41 continuing to offer interactive scientific adventures that take visitors on a journey through stars and planets in a fun, educational way suitable for all family members. The celebrations conclude daily with spectacular fireworks at Katara Corniche. --- Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content.
