AMMAN — Officials at the Jordan Customs Department (JCD) on Saturday inspected the first groups of Jordanian pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia through the Mudawwara and Omari customs centres. The field visits aimed to review the readiness of the border centres and evaluate the measures implemented to ensure a smooth and efficient entry process for the pilgrims, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Jordan Hajj quota for the 1447 Hijri season had been set at 8,000 pilgrims, in addition to 4,500 Palestinian pilgrims within the 1948 borders. Every capable Muslim is supposed to perform the Hajj once in his/her lifetime, which culminates in Eid Al Adha. The Hajj is one of the five main pillars of Islam, which also include the shahada, the act of verbally expressing faith; the five daily prayers; fasting during the month of Ramadan; and zakat, or giving alms to the poor. jordantimes.com/news/local/jor…
