My hajj journal day 34, 31August2017

my hajj journal Day 34, 31August2017.
03:00 early prayers or qiamulail.
04:48 subuh prayers. own breakfast today because we were to go to Arafat.
09:10 arrived Arafat by bus. a day filled with prayers until evening. by afternoon, I was sweating profusely. I was hot and suffocating. I held on by drinking a lot of water and water-spray my head and face. 
In a tent at Arafat.



19:47 awaiting transport to Muzdalifah.
21:30 arrived Muzdalifah. Performed simple prayers while picking up pebbles. The pebbles would be used for our next ritual tomorrow at the Jamrah.
 
At Muzdalifah, feeling tired.

 
My wife, Asmah. Put her best smile despite her tiredness.

 
Asmah sifting the sand looking for pebbles.

 
00:30 supposed to leave for Mina past midnight but no transports. no announcement. so, we slept on the open, sandy field.
