مسجد نمرة
Masjid Namirah is a large cami located at the western edge of the Plain of Arafat. It is where the Hac khutbah (sermon) is delivered on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, and where Dhuhr and Asr namazs are combined and shortened. The cami can accommodate over 350,000 worshippers. Part of the cami is technically outside the boundaries of Arafat.
Masjid Namirah is built near the location where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered his Farewell Sermon during his only Hac in 10 AH. After the sermon, he led the combined and shortened Dhuhr and Asr namazs. The cami has been expanded multiple times, most significantly during the Saudi era, and now covers an area of approximately 110,000 square meters. It is one of the largest camis used only once a year.
Masjid Namirah marks the site of Hz. Peygamber's Farewell Sermon, one of the most important speeches in human history, addressing human rights, equality, and Islamic principles. The combining of namazs here is a sunnah that all hacilar follow on the Day of Arafah.
Masjid Namirah is primarily used on the Day of Arafah (9th Dhul Hijjah). The cami's front section, where the minbar is located, falls in the valley of Uranah, which is technically outside Arafat boundaries. Pilgrims should ensure they stand (wuquf) within the boundaries of Arafat, not in the Uranah valley portion. The cami provides one of the few shaded areas on the plain. Arrive early to secure a spot inside. The Hac sermon is broadcast via loudspeakers across the entire plain.
