Iran launched the initial registration for next year’s Hajj in a ceremony on Monday.

It was attended by Representative of Leader of Islamic Revolution in Hajj and Pilgrimage Hojat-ol-Islam Seyed Abdol Fattah Navab and Head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization Alireza Bayat.

Bayat said that pre-registration has begun sooner this year, compared to previous years, in order to have more time in the administrative processes and for creating better conditions for serving the pilgrims.

The pre-registration process will continue via the website of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization until December 15, according to the official.

More than 85,000 Iranian pilgrims performed Hajj this year.

Hajj is a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca that every able-bodied and financially able Muslim is obliged to undertake at least once during their lifetime.

The annual pilgrimage is regarded as one of the pillars of Islam and the largest act of mass pilgrimage in the world. It is also a demonstration of Muslims’ unity and their submission to Allah.
