Around 30,000 Afghan pilgrims have successfully completed the Hajj pilgrimage this year, with authorities reporting smooth operations and no significant incidents.
The Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs of Afghanistan confirmed that the annual pilgrimage was conducted peacefully and efficiently for Afghan participants.
According to an official statement, all religious rites were performed in an orderly manner, supported by well-coordinated logistical and safety measures.
From departure and accommodation to the completion of the Hajj rituals and the return process, the ministry said every phase was carefully managed. The cooperation between Afghan service teams and Saudi authorities was praised for ensuring the pilgrims’ comfort and security throughout the journey.
“No major problems or incidents were reported during this year’s pilgrimage,” the ministry stated, noting that Afghan pilgrims were able to fulfill their religious obligations safely in the holy city of Mecca.
The ministry also announced plans to release a detailed report once all pilgrims have returned, outlining the planning and execution of this year’s pilgrimage.
Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, draws millions of Muslims to Mecca each year. Afghanistan’s participation is coordinated under a national quota managed by the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs.
This year’s successful completion of the pilgrimage highlights effective collaboration between Afghan and Saudi officials, ensuring Afghan citizens could observe this important religious duty with dignity, safety, and peace of mind.
