In a significant development, Pakistan has received a total of 4,774 applications for the Hajj pilgrimage within the first two days of the registration period. The overwhelming response from citizens reflects the eagerness to perform the sacred religious journey in 2025.
The registration, which started on November 18, 2024, has seen a remarkable turnout, with many hopeful applicants vying for a chance to travel to Saudi Arabia for Hajj. The process, which is being managed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, is expected to continue for a few more weeks, allowing more individuals to submit their applications.
Officials from the ministry have indicated that they are well-prepared to handle the surge in applications, ensuring a smooth process for all participants. With a fixed number of slots available, the authorities have emphasized the importance of meeting the eligibility criteria and ensuring fair distribution through a transparent lottery system.
The Hajj pilgrimage holds immense religious significance for Muslims, and as the registration process progresses, more people from across Pakistan are expected to apply, hoping to secure their place for the upcoming journey in 2025.
