Wanaukumbi,
Ya Allah if we are not be able to be among the pilgrims this year, don't deprive us from Your blessing and Mercy in these blessed days (Ameen).
These astonishing images show a vast tent city housing thousands of Muslims in Saudi Arabia for the holy hajj pilgrimage.
Other pictures show tens of thousands of Muslims swarming the Kabaa, Islam's holiest shrine.
Up to three million Muslims joined in on the hajj pilgrimage, performing stoning symbols of the devil to symbolize rejection of temptation and a new, purified self.

Thousands throng the roads into and through the sprawling city
Later in the day, pilgrims enjoyed a feast of freshly slaughtered sheep, goats and camels at a huge tent city in Mina, a desert valley east of Islam's holiest city, Mecca, where the Kabaa resides.
Similar sacrifices, marking the start of the Eid al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice, were carried out by Muslims around the world.
The holiday commemorates a story celebrated by Muslims, Jews and Christians in which God asked the prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son to prove his faith, but then in the end offered a sheep to kill instead.
Muslim tradition says it was at Mina, 3 miles (5 kilometres) from Mecca, that the devil tried to tempt Abraham to disobey God by refusing to sacrifice his son.
