More than 2.5 million people will perform Hajj this year from the outside world in Saudi Arabia. According to the Saudi government official, this year will be the largest number of people. Hajj ceremonies have started yesterday with the Tawaf of the Kaaba.

In the past 2020 and 2021, Saudi Arabia organized Hajj on a limited basis during the Corona period, at that time no one from outside the country was allowed to perform Hajj. In 2022, the strictures were slightly relaxed.  1 million people are allowed to perform Hajj. Hajj is going on as usual. One lakh 22 thousand 221 people from Bangladesh have reached Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj.
Today, after Tawaf of the Kaaba, the pilgrims will leave for  Mina. Although most of the pilgrims stayed in Mina yesterday, they will spend the whole day and night in Mina in worship. In the hope of gaining closeness to Allah, they will recite zikr and pray with the congregation.
