Departing From Arafat: When the sun sets on the Day of Arafah, proceed calmly and with dignity. Depart while engaging in istighfar (seeking forgiveness), as Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "Then depart from where the people depart, and seek forgiveness of Allah
سبحانه وتعالى. Indeed, Allah
سبحانه وتعالى is Forgiving and Merciful." (Surah Al-Baqarah
2:199)
