The Day of Arafah (Arabic: يوم عرفة, romanized: Yawm 'Arafah) is an Islamic holiday that falls on the ninth day of Dhu al-Hijjah of the lunar Islamic Calendar.[4] It is the second day of the Hajj pilgrimage and is followed by the holiday of Eid al-Adha.[5] At dawn of this day, Muslim pilgrims will make their way from Mina to a nearby hillside and plain called Mount Arafat and the Plain of Arafat. It was from this site that the Islamic prophet Muhammad gave one of his last sermons in the final year of his life. Some Muslims hold that part of the Quranic verse announcing that the religion of Islam had been perfected was revealed on this day.[6]
