A Pakistani pilgrim gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Mount Arafat on Saturday, the Day of Arafat, marking a momentous event during the annual Hajj pilgrimage.

The baby, named Arafat in honor of the sacred location, was born during the mother’s 37th week of pregnancy. This special moment unfolded amidst the deeply spiritual observances of Hajj.

Doctors confirmed that both the mother and newborn are in stable condition. The baby weighed 3.04 kg and is reported to be in good health.

Dr. Amina Al Sheikh, who led the medical team during the delivery, said: "The birth of a child is always a joyous occasion, and witnessing it during Hajj is particularly special."

The mother, choosing to keep her identity private and declining any photography, is under observation with her baby for further check-ups.

The birth occurred as millions of pilgrims gathered on Mount Arafat, a key site of Hajj that symbolizes forgiveness and mercy.

The Day of Arafat is a significant spiritual moment in the Islamic calendar, and this year, it was further sanctified by the birth of baby Arafat, adding a unique blessing to the holy pilgrimage of his parents.
