Association of British Hujjaj (Pilgrims) ABH, a National Hajj pilgrimage specific organization working for the welfare and well-being of the Hajj Umrah pilgrims, wishes a safe and blissful journey to over two million prospective Hajj pilgrims from around the world who are converging in the Holy City of Makkah to perform their pilgrimage.
Hajj pilgrimage, one of the pillars of Islam, has a great significance, where millions of Muslims, from all over the world, gather in the same places, to perform the same rituals, at the same times, standing together on equal footing and dressed as one. This makes Hajj pilgrimage a true reflection of the dignified principles of equality, modesty and human brotherhood that are at the heart of Islam and truly represents Islam’s cross-borders and cross-cultures nature. Hajj pilgrimage is an occasion, where Muslims from all nations, races and countries have an opportunity to know each other better and learn more about each other’s issues and concerns which emphasizes Islam’s teachings of compassion, cooperation, tolerance and care for others.
ABH extended their heartiest gratitude to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their tremendous work towards the welfare and well being of the pilgrims and sparing no efforts to ensure that the Hajj pilgrims performed their pilgrimage safely and peacefully with ease and comfort.
ABH, a pioneer of British Hajj delegation; a first ever initiative taken In UK in 2000 to provide help and support to British Hajj/Umrah pilgrims, also extended their gratitude to the British Foreign Office whose councillors’ team will be based at Hilton Makkah hotels during this year Hajj and will provide advice, support and consular services to over twenty thousand British pilgrims to ensure their welfare and well being.
“Our sincere prayers and wishes go to all pilgrims from around the world, for a safe journey, successful and accepted Hajj and a safe return to their homes and family”, said Khalid Pervez, General Secretary of Association of British Hujjaj (Pilgrims).
