Hey fellow adventurers! Today we’ll be talking about something unique to Saudi Arabia, the Hajj. This year it took place from August 30th to September 4th. I’ve mentioned it in passing before but to be honest, I don’t know much about it myself. For that reason, I’m really excited to be able to learn about it with all of you. 😊
The Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca (the holiest city of Islam) that every adult Muslim must partake in at least once in their lifetime. It is the largest annual gathering of people in the world. This journey is meant to demonstrate the solidarity of the Muslim people as well as their commitment to Allah. Every year, between two to three million people participate in the Hajj. I was going to summarize the 6-day ritual that Muslims follow during the Hajj but I ran across an article that explained it much better than I could:
http://www.aljazeera.com/focus/hajj/2009/11/2009111895127111168.html
Recently, there has been concern for the safety of the pilgrims since the number of pilgrims has been increasing since the 1990’s. They are using crowd control techniques to attempt to ensure the safety of those participating in the Hajj, but you still get events like the stampede in 2015 that resulted in 769 deaths and 934 injuries. Because of this, Iran stated in 2016 that they were no longer letting their citizens go to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Hajj since the safety of their citizens couldn’t be guaranteed.
Well that’s all for today. I know some of you might be opposed to opening links but I seriously suggest at least skimming through the one I provided to see what they do on each day of the Hajj. I thought it was interesting. Anyhow, thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!
