Published by: Ababil Islamic News | Category: Hajj, Islamic Events
Hajj 2025 welcomes 1.67 million pilgrims with advanced safety measures and smart technologies. Discover how Islam and innovation are working hand-in-hand.
1.67 Million Pilgrims Perform Hajj in 2025
Hajj 2025 marked one of the largest turnouts in years. With 1.67 million Muslims from across the globe, Saudi Arabia implemented AI monitoring, drone surveillance, and advanced cooling systems to manage the heat and crowds.
Combating Heatwaves with Smart Safety Tech
Temperatures rose beyond 45°C (113°F), prompting the use of the world's largest outdoor air-conditioning systems. Drones monitored pilgrims for signs of heatstroke, while emergency teams were stationed across holy sites.
Islamic Principles in Modern Solutions
While some express concern over digitalization of Hajj, scholars point to the principle of Hifz al-Nafs (preserving life), a core tenet of Maqasid al-Shariah.
“There is no harm nor causing harm.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
