<\/div>\n
The first batch of 510 pilgrims from Borno are departing Madinah today, Friday to Makkah to commence the main Hajj rituals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the pilgrims would be transported in luxury buses in compliance to the COVID-19 protocols.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An official at the Madinah control centre told NAN that the pilgrims would start the Makkah ritual from Miqat at Zhul-Hulayfah.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hulayfah is around nine kilometres from Madina and around 450 kilometers from Makkah.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is the Meeqat for people coming from Madina.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Meeqat is the principal boundary at which pilgrims intending to perform the Hajj or Umrah must enter the state of Ihram.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ihram is a state of consecration in which certain permitted activities are made prohibited.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The pilgrims will take a bath, wear two white clothes by men or any other colour by women, signifying state of purity, the pilgrims proceed to Makkah to perform the lesser Hajj (Umrah).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Umrah process involves circumambulation of the Ka\u2019abah inside the Holy Mosque seven times and doing the seven laps of Safa and Marwa.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Safa and Marwa are in following the process done by Hagar, mother of Prophet Ismail, in search of water for her son in that location.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After this, pilgrims would wait for the five-day Hajj.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hajj is the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which every adult Muslim must make at least once in his or her lifetime.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The hajj is the fifth of the fundamental Muslim practices.(NAN)<\/div>\n
