Notlar	Genre/Subject MatterThis image shows pilgrims camping at the Plain of 'Arafat. Located 21km southeast of the Masjid al-Haram, the plain, which extends 6 km from East to West and 12 km from North to South, and the 70 metre high granite hill at the centre of it are stations of the hadj. Mount 'Arafat is located northeast of the plain and is also known as Jabal al-Rahmah or Mount of Mercy.On the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, known as the Day of 'Arafat, just before noon, pilgrims gather on the plain to perform wuqufor ‘standing before God’, as can be seen in this image: this is a pillar of the hadjand must be undertaken for the pilgrimage to be valid.In this image, the relatively slow shutter speed captures the ghost images of figures ascending the lower steps to the right of the image. However, many other individual figures are in sharp focus. Most of the pilgrims – male and female – are wearing the two piece garb, consisting of two white seamless sheets, associated with being in the state of ihram, although some variation in style of dress is noticeable, such as the man wearing checked material clearly visible in the lower right corner of the scene, the woman standing to his left and the group of women wearing white trousers under the ihramtowards the centre foreground. The men have clearly shaved their heads as a part of the ritual cleansing ceremony undertaken at the beginning of the hadjin order to enter into the state of ihram.InscriptionsRecto:Upper centre: ‘Picture of Mount 'Arafat’‘The place of assembly of the hajj and the locus of blessings (barakat)‘Arafat, the mine of God's mercy;Submission and supplication from the pilgrimsBeneficence and kindness from God. ‘To the right and left of the image:‘This is the mountain where repentance will be accepted.

The [act of] hajj takes place here. This is the mountain where all sins of Muslims are certainly forgiven. At the time of the hajj, attendance here is quite overwhelming. People come and pitch tents, with the [act of] hajj occurring between the afternoon and sunset prayers. It is indeed a sight worth seeing – the manner in which Muslims, rich and poor, king and beggar, all wearing the ihram and looking alike, beseechingly asking for forgiveness of their sins from the true Creator and the real object of worship. The sobbing is convulsive and everything other than God is obliterated from the heart. Everyone is continually saying, while waving a handkerchief, "O Lord I am standing at Your service, You who are without equal, I am standing at Your service."
