SUPKEM flags off 280 pilgrims for Hajj 2025 in ceremony graced by CS Adan Duale and Saudi officials
Alhamdulillah! This morning (May 26, 2025), we had the honor of flagging off 280 pilgrims aboard Saudi Airlines, destined for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj. The event was graced by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Hon. Adan Duale, and representatives from the Saudi Embassy in Nairobi.
As we prepare for the month of Dhulhijjah, which is expected to commence at the end of May 2025, we look forward to the climax of Hajj on the Day of Arafat, when millions of Muslims will gather at the Mountain of Mercy (Jabbal Rahmah).
On my own behalf and on behalf of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM), I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Government of Kenya and the leadership of the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their unwavering support, which has facilitated smooth preparations for the pilgrims.
We pray to the Almighty Allah to accept their Hajj and reward everyone involved for the challenges faced in organizing this sacred journey.
We urge all pilgrims to adhere strictly to the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Hajj & Umrah Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other relevant agencies. This year, it is anticipated to be extremely hot, and we advise pilgrims to follow the recommended precautions to ensure their safety.
Hajj Mabrur!
