Hajj pilgrimage.

Hajj is a central pillar of Islam and a deeply spiritual obligation for every Muslim who is physically and financially able to perform it at least once in their lifetime. SUPKEM plays a key role in facilitating, guiding and supporting Kenyan Muslims throughout their Hajj journey, ensuring it is conducted with dignity, compliance with the approved legal frameworks of both Kenya and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

SUPKEM, recognized by the Government of Kenya as the official custodian of Muslim affairs, provides coordinated Hajj support services for individuals and groups intending to perform the pilgrimage. These services include pre-departure education, Hajj registration support, liaison with Saudi Hajj authorities, health advisory, and ensuring pilgrims meet all administrative requirements.

  1. Hajj Registration Guidance: Support with official Hajj quota applications and coordination with the Ministry of Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
  2. Pre-Hajj Orientation Seminars: Conducting obligatory pilgrim training on rituals, logistics, health, safety, and legal requirements.
  3. Pilgrim Protection and Welfare: Advocacy for the rights and safety of Kenyan pilgrims in Saudi Arabia through SUPKEM’s official representation.
  4. Logistical Support & Information: Guidance on travel arrangements, accommodation standards, and essential health requirements.

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!
