Like other years, the Hajj sermon will be translated into Bengali. Apart from Bengali, this sermon will be translated into 9 other languages. Maulana AFM Wahidur Rahman of Cox's Bazar district of Bangladesh has been nominated as the Bengali translator of the Hajj sermon this year. He is currently working as a da'i at Makkah Islamic Center.

According to the Hijri calendar, every year on the 9th of the Arabic Zilhaj month, the Hajj sermon is held at Arafat Maidan. Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave the Farewell Hajj speech at this Arafat Maidan.
