The journey of faith and closeness to Allah
Hajj is a great obligation and a fundamental pillar of Islam, embodying a journey of faith and closeness to Allah Almighty. Muslims from all corners of the earth gather at the Sacred House, united in worship and purpose, in a scene that reflects the meanings of unity and equality. The Hajj aims to refine the soul, renew faith, and instill values of patience and humility, as the pilgrim abandons worldly adornments to live a purely spiritual experience that draws them closer to Allah, granting them peace and tranquility
Hajj Steps
Tawaf
Pilgrims begin their journey with the Tawaf around the Kaaba, a rite that symbolizes the unity of the Muslim community and their devotion to the One True God. Pilgrims perform seven circuits around the Kaaba in a counterclockwise direction, each lap reflecting their obedience to the will of Allah
Sa’i between Safa and Marwah
After completing the Tawaf, pilgrims perform Sa’i, which involves walking or lightly running between the hills of Safa and Marwah. This ritual commemorates the story of Lady Hagar, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim, as she searched for water for her son Ismail. It symbolizes the devotion and patience of the mother and her son, serving as a reminder of the unity of the Muslim community
Standing at Arafah
Hajj reaches its climax on the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, in the vast plains of Arafah. On this day, pilgrims gather in the expansive desert to stand in prayer, seeking Allah's forgiveness, mercy, and guidance. The Day of Arafah is filled with reflection, humility, and supplication. All pilgrims, regardless of their backgrounds, wear simple white garments, emphasizing the equality of all Muslims before Allah
Muzdalifah and the Stoning of the Jamaraat
Pilgrims spend the night in Muzdalifah, where they collect pebbles for the stoning of Satan during the Jamaraat ritual. The pilgrims throw the pebbles at three stone pillars in Mina. This act symbolizes the rejection of committing sins, emulating the actions of Prophet Ibrahim when he resisted the temptations of Satan
Tawaf al-Ifada and Tawaf al-Wada
As the Hajj journey nears its end, pilgrims return to the blessed Kaaba to perform the Tawaf al-Ifada, which signifies the completion of all the essential rituals. Afterward, they proceed to perform Tawaf al-Wada, the final act of pilgrimage, as a farewell to the Sacred House, ensuring that they leave Makkah with a sense of peace, devotion, and gratitude to Allah
