The 9th of Zilhajja is the main prayer of Hajj. The pilgrims gather in the field of Arafat. They are uniformly clad in Ihraam, unailored sheets of white cloth. They pray to Almighty Allah because it is the tradition and the main ritual of Hajj. The last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad saw taught the Muslims to do so.
