Thanksgiving/Arafat

Happy thanksgiving to all including those who are on Hajj and they will be the ones who will be offering thanks to the one and only God in Arafat grounds today for having been forgiven for their all sins and those not on Hajj are at home offering their prayers as usual ans thanking God for having given them the purities and nicities of life.
Hajjis travel again today fron Mina for their second stop--Arafaat grounds. where they offer two prayers together Dzuhr and 'Asr and then start prayers for themselves for their family for their friends etc. all the human beings' needs of this world--- from Zawal time till sunset time standing in prayers singly and in groups 3 to 5 million of them in vast grounds with no b uildings except one masjid. nothing between Man and God. You can almost feel the angels running around gathering all the good prayers of the believers for their Lord to present to The Almighty
Lord! these are your believers who came from far and near tired and humble in humble attires, so Lord accept their deeds and their prayers and the vastness of the Almighty's mercy spreads to all and He is forgiving and merciful as always.
