Abu Dhabi is witnessing an exciting opportunity for Emirati citizens as registration for the Haj pilgrimage for the upcoming 2027 season is now open. The General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, and Zakat (Awqaf) has initiated this process, allowing interested individuals to submit their applications through the official AWQAF UAE app and website. This initiative is not only a gateway for spiritual fulfillment but also a testament to the UAE’s commitment to facilitating access to one of the pillars of Islam.
Registration Details
The application window is from September 14 to September 25, 2026, and it is crucial for applicants to adhere to this timeline. The authority has highlighted the importance of providing complete and accurate information during the registration process. An automated screening system will select eligible applicants, ensuring a fair and efficient selection process. This system is designed to process applications swiftly and accurately, giving each applicant a chance to fulfill their religious obligation.
Eligibility for Registration
Only UAE citizens who have never performed Haj are eligible to register for this season. Those who applied in the previous year do not need to reapply; instead, they can update their existing applications. This streamlined process not only saves time but also simplifies the journey for those looking to embark on this sacred pilgrimage.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
To register, applicants need to download the latest version of the AWQAF UAE app and log in using UAE Pass. After logging in, they can select the Haj Package service, then choose the registration option. It’s essential to fill out the required information accurately, read the terms and conditions, and submit the application. Once submitted, applicants will receive a reference number for tracking their registration, making the follow-up process smoother.
Adding Family Members or Mahrams
For those wishing to include a mahram, family member, or companion in their application, a family-linking service is available. However, it’s essential to note that the person being added must also have registered and received their own reference number. The applicant can go to the application status section, select the family-linking option, and input the reference number of the additional individual. The linked person must confirm their participation using their own device to complete the process successfully.
Applicants can keep track of their application status through the “Application Status” feature on the AWQAF app, ensuring they remain informed throughout the process. For any additional questions or assistance, individuals can easily reach out to the authority at 8008222.
With this structured approach to Haj registration, Awqaf UAE is committed to ensuring a seamless experience for all eligible Emirati citizens eager to fulfill their religious duties. Don’t miss out on this sacred opportunity—ensure your registration is completed within the specified dates for a chance to undertake this significant pilgrimage.
