Thousands of pilgrims continue spiritual journey to Madinah
As pilgrims bid farewell to Makkah on Monday after completing Hajj — the fifth pillar of Islam — many departed for Madinah with cherished memories. Hajj authorities in Madinah have begun implementing their operational plans for the second season, expecting thousands of pilgrims in the coming days. The Special Forces for Hajj and Umrah Security have completed preparations to receive the pilgrims, as part of a comprehensive plan to ensure their safe and smooth arrival, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The field plan focuses on regulating pilgrim movement, facilitating entry and exit from Madinah, maintaining traffic flow, and reducing congestion. Preparations include increased security presence on major routes, providing assistance and guidance, and ensuring emergency teams are ready to respond to health cases and other situations. Government and volunteer bodies have raised readiness levels to support reception centers, entry points, and historical sites, while enhancing efforts in transport, guidance, hospitality, and healthcare through an integrated, 24/7 system. These efforts reflect the leadership's commitment to serving pilgrims and ensuring their safety during their journey between the holy sites and Madinah, the SPA reported. Meanwhile, 2,443 pilgrims from 100 countries, hosted under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program for Hajj and Umrah, also traveled to Madinah after completing Hajj. During their stay, they will pray at the Prophet's Mosque, visit Quba Mosque, and explore significant historical landmarks. The pilgrims expressed gratitude for the services provided by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, which met their needs and facilitated smooth movement between sites. They shared their joy at completing the Hajj rituals, including standing at Mount Arafat, staying in Muzdalifah, the days of Tashreeq in Mina, stoning the Jamarat, and concluding with the farewell Tawaf. A coordinated program is in place to transfer pilgrims from their accommodations to Madinah airport, overseen by the Hajj and Visit Committee and relevant authorities to ensure timely flight departures. Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport recorded a successful pre-Hajj phase, receiving pilgrims smoothly and efficiently. During the arrival period, the airport handled 719,400 pilgrims — 49 percent of all air-arriving pilgrims this Hajj season — via 1,910 flights from 196 cities in 53 countries. The General Directorate of Passports confirmed its readiness to finalize departure procedures at the Kingdom's international air, land, and sea ports, supported by modern security systems and trained personnel. Minister of Transport and Logistic Services Saleh Al-Jasser also inspected King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to assess its readiness for pilgrim departures. He reviewed procedures for receiving and dispatching pilgrims, including departure hall operations, service performance, and overall efficiency, aiming to ensure a smooth travel experience that meets international standards.

Pilgrims flocked to Mina to perform rituals of Hajj on Day of Tarwiyah
Makkah - Saba: Pilgrims began heading to Mina at dawn on Wednesday to perform the first stage of the Hajj pilgrimage on the Day of Tarwiyah. This marks the beginning of the greatest journey of faith for Muslims worldwide, one that throngs of pilgrims will embark on with longing, tears, hope, and glorification. Pilgrims will spend the Day of Tarwiyah, the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, in Mina, where they will perform the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers, shortening them to four rak'ahs without combining them. They will then spend the night there before heading out at dawn on the ninth of Dhu al-Hijjah to the sacred plain of Arafat, 12 kilometers from Makkah, to witness the Great Standing and perform the greatest pillar of Hajj. They will then depart at sunset for Muzdalifah. On the night of the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims spend the night in Mina and collect pebbles before leaving Muzdalifah to use in the stoning of the Great Jamarat on the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, the first day of Eid al-Adha. After stoning the Jamarat and offering sacrifices, pilgrims head to Mecca to perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah around the Kaaba. They then return to Mina to spend the Days of Tashreeq and stone the three Jamarat al-Sughra, the Small, Middle, and Large Jamarat. After the three Days of Tashreeq have concluded, or after two days, pilgrims head to Mecca to perform the Farewell Tawaf, marking the end of the Hajj rituals. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
