After selecting the representative population, the related questionnaires were completed by the participants before and after HAJJ PILGRIMAGE to gather the required data. In doing so, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and MEANING IN LIFE Questionnaire were administered. Finally, the data using SPSS statistical software and descriptive statistical techniques (the mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistical method (t-test) were analyzed. In this study, all the ethical issues were considered; besides, the authors declared no conflict of interest.Results: The results indicated that there was a significant increase in the participants’ mean score of MENTAL HEALTH and MEANING IN LIFE. Moreover, HAJJ PILGRIMAGE increased the MENTAL HEALTH and MEANING IN LIFE.Conclusion: Findings of this study revealed that pilgrimage to Mecca lowers anxiety, depression, and stress.
