Umrah has become the key factor of overall flow of special financial resources; including its benefits of global cultural sharing and effectively stimulating economic activity. As well, Umrah is one of the key pillars of the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision; seeking to secure about (30) million Umrah performers by 2030. As such, this would yield huge revenues. In fact, the Kingdom enjoys a strategic location among the world’s continents; thus, offering seamless access to over 1.2 billion Muslims seeking to perform Umrah. This, in turn, would lead to an economic recovery in various fields, including airports and seaports’ development and expansion, urban development, as well as creating thousands of job and investment opportunities. In this spirit, the Umrah statistics bulletin is highly important as it provides vital stats and indicators on Umrah in the Kingdom based on two key sources: First: Umrah Survey: an initial sample household survey in Social Statistics done under GAStat’s annual survey plan, such Internal Umrah Performers Survey. In that survey, information on Umrah Performers were gathered, including nationality (Saudi/Non-Saudi), the administrative region, Umrah frequency during a year, the duration of residence, and much more. Second: Administrative Records based on the date of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah which provide data on External Umrah Performers using various parameters. The General Authority for Statistics (GAStat) is pleased to include in this bulletin the key indicators in two main parts: the first offers definitions, objectives and adopted methodology, while the second deals with general features of the Umrah Statistics Bulletin. We hope these findings would help meet the needs pf planners, researchers and those interested in Umrah-related studies. Allah is the Arbiter of Success, General Authority for Statistics (GAStat) Population and Vitality Surveys 8 Umrah Statistics 2018 Definitions First: Objectives of Umrah statistics bulletin Objectives of Umrah Statistics Bulletin include: 1- Building a database on Internal and External Umrah Performers which would help achieve the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision. 2- Gain insight into the total annual number of external Umrah performers. 3- Help concerned agencies identify the needed manpower and facilities to serve Umrah performers, ensure their safety and comfort. 4- Meet the Kingdom’s key data requirements on internal Umrah performers’ numbers and characteristics needed for development plans. 5- Provide researchers, users and stakeholders with the key data. Second: Sources of Statistics GAStat gathers the required data to prepare the Umrah Statistics Bulletin using two sources: 1. First Source: Stats from Umrah Survey> 2. Second Source: Stats from actual administrative records of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. 3. Third: Statistical framework design and survey sample 1. Design of statistical frameworks plan 1. To design and document the proper plan to create a framework of the statistical society. 2. To set lists, maps and analytical specifications of units through which data providers are selected 3. To use the common records and statistical frameworks as far as possible. 4. To define the required metadata for creating a statistical framework and test framework, verifying its authenticity and approving its use of the current survey round. 5. Sample Design: Designing and documenting the proper plan to select the sample units from which data will be collected. To get highly efficient and effective estimates, the survey society has been divided into non-overlapping parts, characterized by relative homogeneity in their units. 9 Umrah Statistics 2018 Each part is considered a category, and each category is dealt with as an independent society. A random sample is drawn from each category independently, and eventually all drawn units are integrated to form the total sample. 6.

In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.
