Riyadh: Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court on Sunday announced the sighting of the crescent for the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, signalling the commencement of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. This sacred journey, obligatory for all healthy and financially able Muslims at least once in their lifetime, will officially begin on June 26, with the highly significant Day of Arafah falling on June 27.

Millions of devout Muslims from around the world are now making final preparations to embark on this spiritual voyage to the holy city of Mecca. Pilgrims will converge on the Grand Mosque, where they will engage in acts of devotion and seek divine blessings during this remarkable gathering of faith.

The Hajj is a symbol of unity, humility, and equality, as Muslims from diverse backgrounds and cultures stand side by side, donning simple white garments, demonstrating the equality of all before God.

The Day of Arafah, the pinnacle of the Hajj, will take place on June 27. On this day, pilgrims will gather on the plains of Arafah, fervently engaged in supplication and prayer, seeking forgiveness, mercy, and guidance from the Almighty. This deeply spiritual occasion is believed to be a time of immense reward and an opportunity for personal reflection and introspection.

For those Muslims who are not undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage, the celebration of Eid Al-Adha will be on Wednesday, June 28. Eid Al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. It is a time of collective prayers, sharing meals, and giving to the less fortunate, emphasizing the values of compassion, charity, and generosity.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have been meticulously preparing to ensure the safety, well-being, and smooth facilitation of the pilgrims throughout this significant period. Stringent health and safety measures have been put in place to safeguard against the ongoing COVID, including mandatory vaccinations, testing, and adherence to social distancing protocols. Pilgrims and organizers alike are committed to upholding these guidelines to ensure the well-being of all participants.

The annual Hajj pilgrimage stands as a testament to the unifying power of faith, bringing Muslims from all corners of the globe together in a remarkable display of devotion, solidarity, and submission to God's will. It serves as a profound reminder of the shared values and deep spiritual connection that transcend borders and cultures.
