Hajj 2025 Begins with Over One Million Muslims in Mecca
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The 2025 Hajj pilgrimage begins on Wednesday with more than one million Muslims arriving in Mecca to fulfil one of Islam’s five central obligations. Every Muslim who has the financial and physical means is required to perform the hajj at least once in their lifetime.

This year’s pilgrimage to Mecca is expected to draw believers from across the world. They will participate in a sequence of spiritual rituals symbolising the Prophet Mohammed’s final pilgrimage over 1,400 years ago. The headline Hajj 2025 Begins with Over One Million Muslims in Mecca captures the scale and spiritual essence of this massive annual gathering.

Pilgrims Enter Purity for Hajj 2025 in Mecca

As part of the Hajj 2025 Begins with Over One Million Muslims in Mecca ceremony, pilgrims begin by entering a sacred state of purity known as ihram. Men wear plain white garments to symbolise unity and equality, while women wear modest, loose-fitting dresses covering everything except their faces and hands.

During this period, pilgrims are forbidden from arguing, engaging in sexual relations, applying perfume, or altering their hair and nails. The aim is to focus entirely on devotion and humility before God.

The hajj begins with the tawaf, where pilgrims walk seven times around the Kaaba, the symbolic heart of Mecca. The Kaaba, a cube-shaped granite structure, holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims, who face its direction in prayer no matter their global location.

Pilgrims then walk between the hills of Safa and Marwa before heading to Mina, then onward to Mount Arafat. At Arafat, they spend the day in intense prayer and reflection, commemorating the Prophet Mohammed’s final sermon.

As Hajj 2025 Begins with Over One Million Muslims in Mecca, pilgrims later proceed to Muzdalifah, gather pebbles, and return to Mina to perform the stoning ritual, symbolically casting stones at representations of Satan.

Climax of Hajj 2025: Sacrifice and Completion

After stoning, pilgrims celebrate Eid al-Adha by slaughtering a sheep or ram, recalling Abraham’s obedience to God. They then trim or shave their hair, change from ihram into normal clothing, and return to circumambulate the Kaaba again before heading home.

Hajj 2025 Begins with Over One Million Muslims in Mecca and ends with believers spiritually renewed, having fulfilled a core obligation of their faith.
