Day 1

On day one of Hajj, pilgrims move out of Mecca towards Mina, this time should be spent to meditate and pray as the Prophet did on his Pilgrimage

How to Prepare for the HAJJ

Before setting out, a Pilgrim should purify themselves by fixing all wrongs such as: paying debts, having enough money for the journey and maintenance of their family while they are away as well as preparing themselves for good behavior throughout the Hajj.

 Men must wear a white seamless garment called a “ihram”

 which symbolizes purity. Moreover, it is an indication of equality of everyone in God’s eyes. Once a pilgrim puts on their Hajj clothes they cannot shave,cut their nail nor wear jewelry.



Women wear a simple white dress and head covering.
