This initiative reflects the department's commitment to providing guidance and religious support to the pilgrims.
The programmes featured a diverse range of activities, most notably the comprehensive educational seminar 'Hajj Step by Step,' which detailed Hajj and explained the related religious rulings in a simplified manner tailored to meet the needs of various groups of pilgrims.
Additionally, the department organised home visits to senior pilgrims, during which they were provided with essential Hajj materials and guidance, ensuring their readiness to perform the pilgrimage.
Farewell and Support at the Airport
The department concluded its extensive awareness programmes for UAE pilgrims by bidding farewell to those departing for the holy lands through Sharjah International Airport, where their inquiries were addressed and a religious kit was distributed. This kit included booklets, guide manuals, and a collection of supplications to assist them throughout their Hajj.
Ongoing Dhul-Hijjah Campaign in Mosques
In conjunction with the arrival of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, the department is currently implementing an intensive awareness campaign across all mosques in the Emirate.
The campaign includes lessons and lectures on the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, the merit of fasting on the Day of Arafah, and the religious and health-related rulings and conditions of Udhiyah.
These efforts are part of the department's ongoing mission to enhance religious awareness and promote Islamic values within the community.
Commitment to Religious Guidance
The department affirmed that its awareness programmes stem from its commitment to serving the pilgrims, ensuring a safe and Sharia-compliant journey, and enhancing the public's religious awareness during these blessed days. Through its mosque-based lessons and lectures, the department seeks to instill the virtues of these great days and clarify the rulings of sacrifice in a way that benefits the entire community.

This measure applies to any form of accommodation — including hotels, apartments, private residences, lodging centres, or Hajj housing sites — or who conceals them or provides assistance enabling them to remain in Makkah and the Holy sites from Dhu Al-Qidah 01 to Dhu Al-Hijjah 14.

'A dream come true': Joy for Emiratis embarking on Hajj pilgrimage
Emiratis travelling to Saudi Arabia to embark on the annual Hajj pilgrimage have shared their joy at making the spiritual journey. About 3,100 citizens are expected to fly to the kingdom from Dubai this week to be part of the cherished ritual, which gets under way on Wednesday. The National visited Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Monday, where pilgrims were leaving for Hajj. A special committee of Dubai Police, immigration, customs and health authorities, along with airline staff, has been established as the pilgrimage coincides with the beginning of the busy summer travel season. Travellers were welcomed with dates, water, juice and sweets by volunteers at DXB, who also guided them through the airport. A medical team was on hand to offer free check-ups for pilgrims before boarding aircraft. The National spoke to some of the pilgrims making the journey through the airport. 'I'm thrilled. I can't describe the joy of travelling finally for Hajj. I broke down in tears when I arrived at the airport knowing my dream has became a reality," said Abdullah Al Mutawa, 45, from Ras Al Khaimah, who was making his first Hajj pilgrimage. 'I'm grateful to the authorities for making our unforgettable experience at the airport smooth and beautiful.' Sultan Mohammed, 29, from Abu Dhabi, was travelling with a group of friends to perform Hajj for the first time. 'I'm super happy knowing I'm travelling to perform Hajj this season. It is a dream come true," he said. 'I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome at the airport." Emirati pilgrims are set to depart from DXB on 28 dedicated flights operated by the airlines Emirates, flydubai, Saudia and Flynas. Tables at Terminal 1 were decked out with items including bottles of water, umbrellas, hand-fans and chocolates for those making the journey. Pilgrims are able to scan a barcode at the airport to receive information on how to avoid dehydration, where to find drinking water and what to do if they feel tired, and contact numbers have also been provided in case of emergencies. Pilgrims can also take free blood pressure and sugar tests before departing. "These journeys are personal, profound, and often once in a lifetime," said Essa Al Shamsi, senior vice president of terminal operations at Dubai Airports. 'Through the efforts of our people and the DXB community, we want to ensure every pilgrim departs with confidence and returns with ease.' Tips for pilgrims Be aware of the latest travel regulations and ensure that you have all the necessary documents with the required validity before going to the airport. Weighing luggage at home, checking documents in advance and being prepared for security checks can save time at the airport. Arrive at the airport at least four hours before departure. Use the Dubai Metro to travel to and from the airport to avoid traffic on the roads. Friends and families using private vehicles are advised to use the airport's designated car parks or valet service to receive their guests as access to the arrivals forecourt in Terminals 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and other authorised airport vehicles. Making the pilgrimage Millions of Muslims travel to Makkah to perform Hajj each year, while many also head further north to the city of Madinah. All Muslims who are able to do so are required to make the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in their lifetime. Hajj and the other four pillars of Islam form the foundation of life for Muslims. The annual pilgrimage takes place during Dhu Al Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, and lasts for about four to six days. The Hajj pilgrimage is to begin on Wednesday, June 4, with Arafat Day, the second day of the week-long Hajj pilgrimage, marked for Thursday, June 5. Eid Al Adha celebrations will begin on Friday, June 6 and run until Sunday, June 8. It was announced last week that both the public and private sectors would be granted leave from Thursday to Sunday, June 5 to 8, with work resuming on Monday, June 9.
