MAKKAH, JUN 6: Hajj pilgrims offered heartfelt prayers for the Muslim Ummah and Pakistan in front of the Holy Kaaba. Emotional scenes were witnessed during the circumambulation (Tawaf) at the Grand Mosque.

Thousands of pilgrims departed for Tawaf-e-Ziyarah in Makkah, completing the spiritual rites of Tawaf and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. Following this, many began returning to Mina. The spiritual phase of Tawaf-e-Ziyarah and Sa’i has now been completed.

Large numbers of pilgrims continue to arrive at their tents in Mina. After performing Rami (stoning of the pillars), Qurbani (sacrifice), Halq (head shaving), and Tawaf, many are now engaged in rest and worship.

Tomorrow, on 11th Dhul-Hijjah, the second stage of Rami at the three Jamaraat will be performed. Hajj mission staff remain actively engaged in guiding pilgrims in both Makkah and Mina.

Special facilities have been arranged for the elderly, women, and persons with disabilities. Considering the intense heat, shaded walkways, water, and medical aid are being provided.

The atmosphere in the tents of Mina is filled with remembrance of Allah, Quran recitation and gratitude.
