With temperatures pushing 40 degrees Celsius, pilgrims spent the day on the Mount Arafat plain and the hill known as Mount Arafat (the Mount of Mercy), where the Prophet Muhammad delivered his final sermon some 14 centuries ago. This year authorities urged worshippers to avoid the hottest hours of the day and issued official warnings for pilgrims to stay inside between 10 am and 4 pm, a year after more than 1,300 pilgrims died in temperatures that hit 51.8 degrees Celsius. The second day of the Hajj - a five-day pilgrimage which all Muslims must perform at least once in their lifetime if physically and financially able - is considered to be a great day of forgiveness, and is spent repenting for past sins and in supplication.
