🕋 Complete Hajj Guide by ElysianGo Baitullah

📖 What Is Hajj?

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam — a sacred pilgrimage to the Holy City of Makkah, performed once in a lifetime by every capable Muslim.
It represents complete submission to Allah, unity among the ummah, and the remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion and sacrifice.

The Hajj journey teaches humility, patience, and the eternal truth that before Allah, all believers are equal.

“And proclaim to the people the Hajj; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel. They will come from every distant pass.”
(Surah Al-Hajj 22:27)

🕋 The Sequence of Hajj (Hajj Tamattu’)

Hajj Tamattu’ is one of the most commonly performed types of Hajj. It consists of two parts — performing Umrah first, followed by Hajj during the same pilgrimage season.

Key stages include:

1. Ihram – Entering the state of consecration and intention.

2. Tawaf – Circumambulating the Ka’bah seven times.

3. Sa’i – Walking between Safa and Marwah.

4. Wuquf in Arafah – Standing in supplication and remembrance.

5. Muzdalifah – Spending the night under the open sky collecting pebbles.

6. Ramy al-Jamarat – Stoning the pillars symbolizing the rejection of evil.

7. Qurban – Offering a sacrificial animal.

8. Tahallul – Shaving or trimming the hair to exit Ihram.

9. Tawaf al-Wada’ – The farewell circumambulation before departure.

🕊️ Types of Hajj

There are three main types of Hajj:

• Hajj Tamattu’ – Performing Umrah first, then Hajj.

• Hajj Qiran – Performing both Umrah and Hajj with one Ihram.

• Hajj Ifrad – Performing only Hajj without Umrah.

Each has specific intentions and rulings, but all share the same spirit of devotion and unity.
