When is Hajj 2025?
The Hajj follows the Islamic Hijri calendar, which differs from the Gregorian calendar we commonly use. This means the dates for Hajj remain constant in the Hijri calendar but shift slightly each year in the Gregorian calendar.
The Hajj itself is a relatively short but impactful period of intense spiritual activity. Lasting five to six days, depending on the moon sighting, it involves completing specific rituals and prayers at designated locations in and around Makkah. While brief, the experience leaves a lasting impression.
