The Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG) has confirmed the death of a 53-year-old Ghanaian pilgrim, Musah Sidi, during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.
According to the Office, the deceased collapsed while performing Tawaf, the ritual in which pilgrims walk around the Kaaba at the Grand Mosque and passed away shortly afterwards.
PAOG said the family of the late pilgrim has been officially informed. Arrangements are also being made for Janaza prayers to be held after Friday’s Jumu’ah prayers before his burial in accordance with Islamic tradition.
“In Islamic tradition, a pilgrim who dies in a state of worship and in Ihram is promised immense spiritual honour in the hereafter,” the statement noted.
The Office extended its condolences to the bereaved family, friends, and fellow pilgrims, praying for Allah to forgive the deceased and grant him eternal peace in Jannatul Firdaus.
