Hajj 2025: Quota Issues Leave Thousands of Pakistani Pilgrims Disappointed

Islamabad, Pakistan - May 27, 2025 - Thousands of Pakistani Muslims were unable to perform Hajj this year due to significant delays and quota issues, according to a recent WE News video report. The report highlights the frustrations of pilgrims and their concerns about the handling of the situation by both the Pakistani government and Hajj tour operators. One speaker in the video stated, "Thousands of Pakistanis couldn't go for Hajj this time because of the quota issues." The video also points to a lack of communication and coordination, leading to missed deadlines and ultimately, many disappointed pilgrims. The Pakistani government has requested an increase in the Hajj quota from Saudi Arabia in hopes of addressing the issue for future Hajj seasons. Despite the setbacks, many Pakistani pilgrims did successfully complete their Hajj pilgrimage, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges.
