Friday is the climax of the Haj, with 1.4 million Muslims from around the world gathering on and around Mount Arafat, the place of the last sermon of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) some 1,400 years ago, near Makkah in Saudi Arabia. In the coming days, they will slaughter an animal in gratitude for the pilgrimage where everyone is equal — the Haj.
