2024 Hajj: First Batch of Over 4,000 Pilgrims Departing for Mecca Today
The first group of pilgrims for the 2024 Hajj is set to leave Tamale International Airport for the Holy City of Mecca in Saudi Arabia today, Tuesday, May 28.
Over 4,000 pilgrims are expected to participate in this year’s Hajj.In an interview with Citi News, Abdul-Rahman Gomda, Communications Director for the Hajj Board, emphasized the importance of cooperation among pilgrims to ensure a smooth experience.
He stated, “Pilgrims should learn to be with us and follow our instructions. There have been instances where people don’t take instructions from us and do what they want to do.
Given that this is a religious exercise, they need to be very religious to gain the spiritual benefits that motivated their journey.”
Gomda highlighted the role of the Dawah committee, which is composed of Islamic clergymen, many of whom studied in Saudi Arabia. The committee provides guidance to pilgrims, especially at various pilgrimage stations, covering recitals, glorification of the creator, and proper conduct during the pilgrimage.
