Our Story
Girls Gone Hajj is the company started in 2010 around a kitchen table by four childhood friends from Newark, New Jersey. We empower Muslim women to make Hajj and Umrah ASAP not Rocky! Many women envision performing Hajj in the latter years of their lives. As the number one platform that prepares women for Hajj, we say, “Why not NOW?”
In Dhul Hijjah 2008, we made our niyyah (intentions) to perform Hajj. In 2009, Allah blessed us to complete Hajj, the fifth pillar of Al-Islam. We came back fired up, eager and poised to shift the narrative about Hajj. Hajj is the pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia where the Kabba is located. All Muslims are obligated to perform Hajj at least once if they can afford it and are physically able.
In 2010, Girls Gone Hajj originated from a fundraising idea for community Hajj celebrations. We sold our Got Hajj? Tees at parks, convention centers, and up and down the Garden State Parkway and I-95.
16 years later, our enthusiasm for this life changing journey is even stronger! We are your Hajj Cheerleaders. We keep the Hajj spirit alive with our positive vibes, services, and events. We are living proof that Hajj is possible.
You do not come back from Hajj to do basic things. Instead, you come back with a battery in your back ready to change yourself, your community and the world!
