Official data says that close to 1.5 million believers arrived from abroad, which includes a group of Muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are 2,226 pilgrims from our country on the Hajj.
On the day of Eid al-Adha, believers in Mecca perform one of the key parts of the Hajj, namely walking seven circles around the Kaaba, the central shrine in Islam.
Also, pilgrims on the Hajj on the day of Eid al-Adha walk seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah, marking the search for water during the Hajj.
This year’s Hajj lasts from May 24 to 30, when the faithful are supposed to return home. Eid al-Adha, as one of the most important holidays for Muslims around the world, is celebrated for four days, and the first day of Eid begins with prayer, followed by the slaughter of the sacrifice and the sharing of meat with family and friends.
Kurban Bayram is also known as Hajj Bayram, precisely because of the Hajj pilgrimage, which is performed in Mecca.
