Our Master Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was on the farewell pilgrimage on this eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah in Mina. He prayed Dhuhr and Asr, Maghrib and Esha. He spent the night there and prayed Fajr. Then he left after sunrise from Mina to 'Arafa.. This is the day of Tarwiyah.
The night preceding'Arafah is one of those nights which is recommended to spend the night in worship. It is this night which is about to come upon us.
