Hajj Things To Know

Hajj – The Fifth Pillar

Learn the Essential Rituals of Your Pilgrimage

Ihram

Pilgrims enter into the state of purity wearing special white clothes called Ihram and make Niyyah (intention) for Hajj. They must follow specific rules, such as avoiding arguments and keeping themselves pure.

Tawaf

Pilgrims walk around the Holy Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction while praying and remembering Allah (SWT).

Sa’i

Pilgrims walk seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah, following the footsteps of Hagar ( RA ), the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who searched for water for her son Ismail (AS).

Day of Arafat

On the 9th of Dhu-al-Hijjah, pilgrims gather at Mount Arafat to make Ibadat and seek forgiveness.

Muzdalifah

After sunset, pilgrims move to Muzdalifah, where they pray and collect small stones for the next ritual.

Rami al-Jamarat

Pilgrims throw stones at three pillars in Mina, symbolizing Prophet Ibrahim (AS)’s rejection of Shaytan (Satan).

Qurbani

Pilgrims sacrifice an animal (sheep, goat, or cow) to remember Prophet Ibrahim (AS)’s obedience to Allah (SWT). This marks the start of Eid-ul-Adha.

Halq or Taqsir

Men either shave their heads (Halq) or cut a small portion of hair (Taqsir), while women trim a small part of their hair. This symbolizes spiritual renewal.

FAQ

Find Answers to Your Questions

Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It’s one of the five pillars of Islam, required once in a lifetime for all Muslims who are physically and financially able.

After booking your Hajj package and registering for your journey, research the Hajj rituals, secure your travel documents and visa, get physically ready, and learn about the cultural etiquette to experience a smooth pilgrimage.

There are nine rituals in Hajj, however, the key rituals include circling the Holy Kaaba (Tawaf), walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah (Sa’i), standing at Arafat for reflection, and performing Rami al Jamarat.

As Makkah experiences extreme weather during Hajj, pack comfortable clothing, a prayer mat, necessary medications, copies of your important documents, and personal hygiene items. Don’t forget a reusable water bottle and snacks for long days.

Stay informed, be patient with the crowds, and embrace the spiritual journey. Connect with fellow pilgrims, follow the advice of your guide, and always plan ahead to overcome challenges along the way.
