On June 16, a group of 161 Hajj pilgrims from Rajouri were given a warm send-off for their journey to Mecca. The Deputy Commissioner of Rajouri, Vikas Kundal, bid farewell to the pilgrims along with other community leaders. A total of 534 individuals from the district are embarking on the holy pilgrimage this year.
The gathering at Eidgah Masjid Rajouri was emotionally charged, as family members, friends, and well-wishers gathered to see off the pilgrims. The Deputy Commissioner emphasized the significance of the Hajj pilgrimage, underlining the spiritual and cultural importance of the journey. He also highlighted the unity and harmony that the Hajj fosters among people from different backgrounds and nationalities.
The Hajj pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Muslims, and it is considered an honor and a privilege to make the journey. The pilgrims embark on a life-changing spiritual journey, leaving behind their daily routines and immersing themselves in the spiritual environment of Mecca.
The Hajj pilgrimage is a time for reflection and introspection, where the pilgrims seek forgiveness and redemption, and pray for blessings and guidance. It is a profound spiritual experience that brings Muslims from all over the world together, reinforcing the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that exist within the ummah (community).
The send-off ceremony in Rajouri was a testament to the strong faith and commitment of the pilgrims, as well as the support and solidarity of their families and communities. As the pilgrims set off on their spiritual journey, they carry with them the hopes, prayers, and well-wishes of their loved ones and fellow Muslims around the world.
