Etymology
The term 'hajji' derives from the Arabic word 'ุญุงุฌููโ' (แธฅฤวงวงฤซ), which itself is related to 'Hajj', the Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. The word 'Hajj' comes from the Arabic verb 'ุญุฌุฉ' (แธฅajj), which means 'to intend a journey' or 'to set out for a destination.' The pilgrimage occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake it at least once in their lifetimes. Completing the Hajj is seen as a demonstration of the Muslim's submission to God and a significant spiritual milestone. As such, those who successfully complete the pilgrimage earn the title of hajji, which carries an honorific significance within the Muslim community. Over time, 'hajji' has also come to symbolize reverence, piety, and the fulfillment of a critical religious obligation.
