عرفة، أعظم يوم تشرق فيه الشمس، وما من يوم عند الله أفضل منه، تجمع أمة الإسلام هذه الشعائر الإسلامية السمحة، وتوحدها نفحات روحانية سامية، والحجيج من كل حدب وصوب ينسلون، من أصقاع الدنيا يجتمعون ليقفوا على هذا الصعيد المبارك يقضون الركن الأعظم من الحج بالوقوف على صعيد عرفات، في يوم يتجلى الله فيه على عباده يباهي ملائكته: أشهدكم يا ملائكتي بأني قد غفرت لهم..
يتوافد حجاج بيت الله، امتثالاً لأمر ربهم سبحانه وتعالى، واقتداء بأعظم رسول بعثه للناس كافة صلى الله عليه وسلم، يلهجون بنداء واحد يصدح في الأرجاء، لبيك اللهم لبيك، لبيك لا شريك لك لبيك، كلمات حملتها أفئدة المؤمنين، وجاءت بها إلى هذه الأرض الطاهرة لتكون ممن يسعدوا في هذا اليوم العظيم نداء يوحد الألسنة، ويشحن القلوب، ويحث الخطا والأبدان، يمضون الآن حيث كان يمضي صلى الله عليه وسلم، ويكرمون بلمس كل كريم نال شرفاً حين حطت يده الشريفة صلى الله عليه وسلم عليها، كفى بالحجاج شرفاً وطيباً أن ينفسوا هواء ذات يوم كان يداعب وجنتيه صلى الله عليه وسلم على أرض الجزيرة، وفي مكة المكرمة والمدينة المنورة هو وصحابته رضوان الله عليهم أجمعين..
حقاً إنه زاد للنفس والروح والعقل معاً، أكرم الله به أمة الإسلام وارتقى بها
صور أجواء الحاج في الحرم المكي والمدينة
وتنقلات حجاج بيت الله في مكة المكرمة والمدينة المنورة
