Al Hajj 1405-1985

Issued in 1985 (1405 AH), this stamp commemorates Al-Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Each year, millions of pilgrims from around the world gather to perform a series of religious rites that symbolize faith, unity, and devotion. By issuing this stamp, Oman recognized the spiritual significance of the Hajj and its importance to Muslims worldwide. The issue celebrated the values of faith, equality, and fellowship associated with the pilgrimage, while also highlighting the enduring role of the Hajj as one of the largest and most important religious gatherings in the world.
