Steps OF Hajj : First
Day of Hajj - 8th of Dhul
Hijjah (Yaumut Tarwiyah)
A pilgrim who is already in Mecca starts his hajj
from the moment he puts on the ihram. Some pilgrims coming from a
distance may have entered Mecca earlier with their ihram on and may
still be wearing it. The donning of the ihram is accompanied by the
primary invocation of the hajj, the talbiyah:
“Here I am, O God, at Thy Command! Here I am at Thy Command! Thou art without associate; Here I am at Thy Command! Thine are praise and grace and dominion! Thou art without associate.”
The thunderous, melodious chants of the talbiyah
ring out not only in Mecca but also at other nearby sacred locations connected
with the hajj.
On the first day of the hajj, pilgrims sweep out
of Mecca toward Mina, a small uninhabited village east of the city. As their
throngs spread through Mina, the pilgrims generally spend their time meditating
and praying, as the Prophet did on his pilgrimage.
