SAHUC South African Hajj and Umrah Council

The South African Hajj & Umrah Council (SAHUC) aims to provide logistical and Co-ordinated assistance which is Non Discriminatory, Spiritually Uplifting and creating the conducive environment for fulfilling the obligations and needs of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims whilst ensuring Equitable Access and equal rights for all South African citizens.

In dedication to its duty to the South African Muslim Community in general and the Pilgrims in particular, the policy of the SAHUC shall be guided by the spirit and understanding of Hajj as contained in the Holy Quran and as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (Sallal laahu Alayhi Wa Sallam – May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).

Hajj is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam, which in practice demonstrates the principles of the Oneness of Allah and the unity and equality of humankind.

The Institution of Hajj, its rites and rituals, is an affirmation of an ideal, which we cherish in our lives.
