Among the philosophies of staying in Mash'ar is preparing to enter the [[Haram (Mecca)|Haram]] (Sacred Precinct), performing the sacrifice, and visiting the House of God. Furthermore, in traditions, this place is described as the threshold of the second gate to the Haram, where the [[pilgrim]] is granted permission to enter through weeping and supplication. Mash'ar is a place for the descent of mercy, the forgiveness of sins, and the answering of prayers, and [[Wuquf]] (staying) there increases hope for divine forgiveness. Verse 198 of Surah Al-Baqarah identifies [[Mash'ar al-Haram]] as a place for the remembrance of God, and according to some exegetes, the secret of staying there is to awaken the heart to piety and the fear of God.
