The first batch of Haj pilgrims in Srinagar is ready to depart to do an annual holy pilgrimage for Kaaba for Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which is an essential religious duty.
At least 3,372 Huzj Karam, a title given to Haj pilgrims, will depart from Srinagar this morning. For Haj pilgrims, a narrator said that the first flight to Mecca was scheduled for today, while the last flight would depart on 15 May.
“A total of 3,622 Huzj Karam is there, and 3,372 Huzj Karam is leaving from Srinagar. This includes 242 Huzj Karam from Ladakh, who is also going from Srinagar. Told Annie.
Malik Abrar Altaf, who struggles to express his feelings, states that Haj pilgrimage means to go through a journey. He said that he will make ‘Dua’ for Kashmir, which has seen many upheavals.
“I cannot describe my feelings. Bhavna is different. Haj means the journey. Allah is calling us, and we are going to only hope that Allah makes our journey easier and has mercy on our high. Islam means peace. Peace. We hope that we only hope that there is peace around the world. We will pray for Kashmir, which is always below the upheaval.”
Another Huzj Karam said that the Haj pilgrimage is done by Muslims once in their life. He expressed grief over the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and said that he would pray for Kashmir.
“This is the biggest day of my life. Muslims have to do this journey (once in our lifetime). We will offer blessings for Kashmir because there is a lot of pain here. We will pray for Pahgam,” he said.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju visited the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday for Central Minority Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs and congratulated and congratulated the Haj pilgrims for his departure.
Speaking to the media, Rijiju said, “I am at the airport to congratulate the Haj Yatris. Today, about 400 people will leave. The management has been good.” He also spoke about the presence of the Deputy Chief of Mission from Saudi Arabia.
On Tuesday, Kiren Rijiju extended his heartfelt greetings to all 1,22,518 pilgrims the Sacred Haj Journey. The first flights flew with 288 pilgrims from Lucknow and 262 pilgrims from Hyderabad. (AI)
