TRAINING MANUAL FOR HAJ TRAINERS

Introduction to the Haj

         India is a pluralistic society which is home to more than 147 million Muslims.  Indian Muslims constitute the second largest Muslim community in the world.  The Haj is incumbent upon all adult Muslims of sound mind with the necessary physical capacity and financial capability.  Successive Indian governments have accepted assistance to Indian nationals for the successful performance of the Haj as a serious responsibility.   This is viewed as a concrete manifestation of adherence to the principles of secularism enshrined in the Indian Constitution.  These principles engender a deep respect for all the religions practiced by Indian citizens and inculcate a commitment to provide all facilities to enable Indian nationals to fulfill their religious obligations in peace and comfort. It is in the context of this commitment that the Haj Section of the Consulate General of India functions as  a nodal agency in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to facilitate the pilgrimage of more than 100,000 Indian citizens annually.
