Muslims from around the globe have journeyed to Mount Arafat near Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the holiest day of the Hajj pilgrimage. Here, they stand in prayer, seeking mercy, blessings, and unity. The event commemorates Prophet Muhammad's Farewell Sermon delivered over 1,400 years ago. This year's Hajj is also marked by the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.
