Hajj HistoryThe observance of Hajj is a significant event in the religious lives of Muslims across the globe, including India. As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, Hajj is the annual pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. This holy journey holds immense significance in the Islamic faith as it fulfils various spiritual yearnings of the devotee, such as seeking forgiveness, building a closer connection with Allah, and reliving the prophetic practices. During the Hajj, Muslims come together as one community to perform these religious rites, thereby strengthening their bonds of unity and brotherhood. Historically, Hajj has roots dating back to the time of Prophet Ibrahim, who built the holy Kaaba after his trials and tribulations. In India, the rituals of Hajj have always been held in high regard, as the country is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the world. With around 14% of the Indian population practicing Islam, the pilgrimage is considered an integral part of their spiritual lives. Every year, thousands of Muslims from India undertake the sacred journey to Mecca, transcending cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic barriers. The Government of India even provides support and assistance to the Hajj pilgrims for a smooth and safe pilgrimage through the Hajj Committee of India. During the Hajj pilgrimage, Muslim devotees from India observe various customs that are similar to those followed by believers worldwide. They don the sacred Ihram clothing and perform the rituals such as Tawaf, where they circumambulate the Kaaba seven times; Sa'i, the symbolic act of running between the hills of Safa and Marwah; and the Rami al-Jamarat, where pilgrims stone the three pillars symbolizing the devil. After completing the rituals, they return to their homes with a sense of fulfilment, humility, and spiritual elevation. Hajj is observed on June 26th this year. Hajj facts
