Issued in 1983 (1403 AH), this stamp commemorates Al-Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the Hajj is a central religious obligation for Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake the journey. 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.
