Makkah: More than 2.5 million Muslims from around the world have collected to the desert of Saudi Arabia to make the annual Pilgrimage Thurs Holy Kaaba, AAJ News reported.
Muslims have been making this journey for the past 14 centuries.
Pilgrims will spend the next few days reflecting as they travel between the holy city of Makkah, the city of Mina, and Mount Arafat, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered his final sermon more than 13-hundred years ago.
The last day includes the symbolic "stoning of the devil" in Mina before the pilgrims head back to Makkah to walk around the most sacred site in Islam, an ancient building in the holy city of Mecca known as the Kaaba.
The final day of the Hajj is also at the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, Which Will Fall on Saturday here in Pakistan.
