History and Seerah

The sacred valley of tents where pilgrims stay during the days of Hajj (8th Dhul Hijjah and 10th to 12th/13th Dhul Hijjah). Here Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was commanded to sacrifice his son Ismail and pelted Satan with stones. The Prophet ﷺ camped and prayed the shortened prayers here during his Farewell Hajj.
