What does HADJI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Muslim who has completed the pilgrimage to Mecca, often used as an honorific title before the person's name.
A hadji is someone who has completed the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that observant Muslims aim to make at least once in their lifetime. The title is often placed before the pilgrim's own name afterward, marking the achievement within the community. English borrowed the word from Arabic through Turkish and Urdu usage, and older travel writing sometimes anglicized the spelling in different ways.
How HADJI is used
Used respectfully as a title in many Muslim communities, though older English travel writing sometimes applied it loosely to any Muslim traveler.
