Hajj holds tremendous spiritual significance in Islam. As one of the Five Pillars, its importance cannot be overstated. Undertaking Hajj not only fulfils a core religious duty, but also serves as a profound affirmation of faith and obedience to Allah. Consequently, it stands as a quintessential expression of spiritual devotion and community solidarity, binding the global Muslim community in an unparalleled collective consciousness.
This pilgrimage epitomises the communal spirit of the global Muslim ummah.
The rituals of Hajj, performed in unison, symbolise the equality and brotherhood amongst Muslims – as each pilgrim dons the simple garments of ihram – creating a unified, egalitarian experience that transcends socioeconomic status.
Moreover, its enduring influence extends beyond the immediate act, inspiring pilgrims to embody the virtues of humility, patience, and charity through unwavering commitment to their faith. This transformative journey resonates in their hearts, encouraging them to maintain these ideals long after returning to their daily lives, thus perpetuating the spiritual legacy of Hajj within their communities.
Predicted: 8–12 Dhul-Hijjah 1447 AH, roughly Mon 25 May to Fri 29 May 2026, with Arafah on Tue 26 May and Eid al-Adha on Wed 27 May. Final dates depend on moon-sighting in Saudi Arabia
