Honoring Arafah

Omar Haroon speaking

The Day of Arafah (9th of Dhu al-Hijjah) is the pinnacle of the Hajj pilgrimage, occurring on May 26, 2026. Pilgrims gather on the plains of Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia to pray, repent, and hear a sermon, marking the day Islam was perfected. It is considered the best day of the year for prayer and repentance, with fasting highly recommended for non-pilgrims.

What are we to do? It’s his contention we need to fall in love with Nature all over again, face the problems of neo-fascism, war & Climate Crisis head-on. Oh—and take action. All aboard! Good planets are hard to find!!!
