Ganderbal, March 15: The Jammu and Kashmir Hajj Committee, in collaboration with the District Administration Ganderbal, Saturday conducted a Hajj orientation and training programme on Manasik-e-Hajj (Hajj rituals) for selected pilgrims from the district. The event was held at the Markazi Hanfia Jamia Masjid Sharief in Beehama, Ganderbal and aimed to equip pilgrims with essential knowledge and preparations for the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage.
The programme saw enthusiastic participation from a large number of selected pilgrims, who expressed their gratitude for the comprehensive training. Many attendees highlighted how the session would help them perform Hajj rituals smoothly and without inconvenience, ensuring a spiritually fulfilling journey.
Molvi Mohammad Jamal, a Hajj trainer from the Jammu and Kashmir Hajj Committee, addressed the gathering, stating, “This is the second phase of our training programme. Our goal is to ensure that pilgrims are well-informed about all aspects of Hajj, from rituals to logistical arrangements, so they do not face any difficulties during their pilgrimage.”
One of the attendees, Ghulam Hassan Wani, a pilgrim from Ganderbal, praised the initiative, saying, “This program is incredibly beneficial for us.
