???? Step-by-Step Hajj Journey:


1. Intend for Hajj & Enter State of Ihram Before Miqat


The first step is making the niyyah (intention) for Hajj and entering the state of Ihram at the designated Miqat. This marks the beginning of your sacred journey.

2. Tawaf Al-Qudum


Upon arriving in Makkah, perform the Tawaf Al-Qudum (arrival circumambulation) around the Holy Kaaba.

3. Sai Between Safa and Marwa


After the Tawaf, complete Sai, which involves walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa, commemorating the actions of Hajar (AS).

4. Go to Mina


Travel to Mina on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, where pilgrims spend the night in prayer and reflection.

5. Spend Time in Arafat


On the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, pilgrims gather in Arafat, the most significant day of Hajj. Standing in Arafat is the heart of the pilgrimage.

6. Spend Night in Muzdalifah & Collect Pebbles


After sunset, proceed to Muzdalifah, where you spend the night under the open sky and collect pebbles for the stoning ritual.

7. Pelt Only Jamarat Al-Aqaba


On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, perform the Ramy (stoning) at Jamarat Al-Aqaba, symbolizing the rejection of evil.

8. Sacrifice Animal


Fulfill the obligation of Qurbani (animal sacrifice), commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah.

9. Shave / Trim Hair


Men are to shave or trim their hair; women cut a small portion. This signifies spiritual renewal.

10. Tawaf Al-Ifadah


Return to Makkah to perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah, a mandatory ritual of Hajj.

11. Pelt All Jamarat (Al-Ula, Al-Wusta, Al-Aqaba)


Over the next two days (11th-13th Dhul Hijjah), perform the stoning at all three Jamarat each day.

12. Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf Al-Wida)


Before leaving Makkah, perform the Farewell Tawaf, bidding goodbye to the holy city.
