As few as 1,000 people will take part in this year's ritualPilgrims were tested for coronavirus and given wristbands that connect to their phones and monitor their movement.
They were required to quarantine at home and in their hotel rooms in Mecca ahead of the start of the journey.Pilgrims have been pictured wearing face masks to stop the spread of coronavirus The Saudi government is covering all the pilgrims' expenses for travel, accommodation, meals and healthcare. The Hajj is one of Islam's most important requirements and follows a route the Prophet Mohammed walked nearly 1,400 years ago.It is believed to ultimately trace the footsteps of the prophets Ibrahim and Ismail, or Abraham and Ishmael as they are named in the Bible.
The pilgrimage is intended to bring about greater humility and unity among Muslims and it is a journey that followers traditionally experience with relatives.
Have a blessed Haijj.
Just a thought are the lines in a spiral that get you closer to the center where you can then kiss or say your prayers before having to be led out so others can join the spiral path?
Thank fuck, this has kept me awake at night with worry.
Whoa, their saturn worship is going to be seriously hindered.
Funny, because when I'm in the Asda I get stampeded by overweight inbreeders dribbling over the reduced section.
They will also do this in the Pride event next month.
More organised than our beaches/pubs.
I bet the women are happy men must cover thair faces too
Good to see you are setting a good example .
Where's your cameras up here in the North? FakeNewsMedia
Meanwhile, in the UK...
up 2 3 4 up 2 3 4 Reminds me of the song in Jungle Book with the elephants marching
The only true religion
What an amazing sight.
Thought muslims always wore face masks
Well, let's see if that changes over the coming month.
That is not as that important as the rain we are blessed to see, Ma Sh Allah
Absolute scenes MaaShaaAllah Tabaarakallah! Do you know when your in space & look back at earth, there's only 2 places that shine the brightest. That is Makkah & Madina ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Have a blessed Arafat day my Muslim brothers & sister's. Remember me in your duas please 🤲 ❤️ 💜.
Muslims wearing face masks and socially distancing have started arriving in Mecca. Our bingo hall too !
Ma sha Allah
I’m surprised Islam doesn’t have any contingency for this. It’s not like plagues and disease weren’t around at its conception. Same for Christianity if there are similarly large scale pilgrimages, that I don’t know about.
BuT BaMe PeOpLe ArE aFfEcTeD mOrE!¡!¡ Oh I wonder why? 🤔
is that a wetherspoons I can see in the back. Piss heads 😂
Isn't it Weird that Fake Religions exist and the Clueless Morons brought up to believe this rubbish then turn into Terrorists! NO MUSLIM SHOULD LIVE IN A CIVILISED COUNTRY!
Not going to get those amazing scenes of devotion :( Still should be a site to see with social distancing.
The annual death stampede will be quite disappointing this year.
Their women wear face masks all the time - weird!
Where have all the others gone to...?
