MANASIK OF HAJJ

Make Hajj an experience that you will fondly cherish for a lifetime

 

The traditional Hajj route is as follows:

  • First day of Hajj — The 8th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah is the first day of the Hajj. Pilgrims enter into a state of holiness by wearing the Ihram while inside Makkah and proceed to Mina, a neighborhood of Makkah and is some 10 km away from central Makkah. Pilgrims go by bus in large groups and camp overnight in Mina. Mina, the city of tents, has more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents which provide temporary accommodation to Hajj pilgrims. Pilgrims spend the day praying, Reading Qur’an making Du’a during their stay in Mina.

  • Second day of Hajj — On the 9th, pilgrims started to move towards the desert plains of Arafat, some 15 km away from Mina. A pilgrim's Hajj is considered invalid if they do not spend the afternoon in Arafat. Arafat remains uninhabited most of the year except during Hajj season when it is jam-packed. Pilgrims spend time praying and Du’a in Arafat until sunset. And as soon as the sun sets, the pilgrims begin to leave Arafat for Muzdalifah. Muzdalifah is some 10 km from Arafat on the route between Mina and Arafat. Pilgrims collect pebbles for the next day's ritual of the stoning of the devil in Arafat and camp overnight at open area of Muzdalifah, and often end-up sleeping in the open air.

  • Third day of Hajj — Eid al-Adha begins. On the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, pilgrims proceed back to Mina and from Mina continue proceeding towards Jamarat Bridge, some 5 km from Mina. At Jamarat Bridge, a symbolic stoning of the devil is performed which involves throwing seven pebbles at the large wall representing the Devil. After performing the stoning of the devil, pilgrims do the sacrifice of an animal (often by the group). After which pilgrims move back to Makkah and do Tawaf and Sa'ii of Hajj. Now Ihram are removed and normal clothing can be worn. By night, pilgrims move back to Mina and spend the night there.

  • Fourth day of Hajj — On the 11th, pilgrims again proceed to Jamarat Bridge and perform the stoning of the devil. Pilgrims spend the night in Mina.

  • Fifth day of Hajj — On the 12th, pilgrims again proceed to Jamarat Bridge and perform yet another stoning of the devil. By sunset, they move back to Makkah.
