Muslims from all around the world begin observing rituals and rites that are associated with the yearly Hajj. Hajj is one of the basic "five pillars" of the Islamic faith. Hajj rituals take place during six days (8th-13th) lunar month of Zil-Hajj of the Islamic calendar. Pilgrimage is once in a lifetime obligation for all those Muslims who got the physical and financial ability to undertake the sacred voyage. Hajj is worship that involves the entire human body, mind and soul. Hajj wipes out the sins of pilgrim and renews one’s relation with ALLAH Almighty. Furthermore, it is a demonstration of the Islamic unity and equity, as all Pilgrims in order to perform sacred pilgrimage wear the same dress, worship ALLAH Almighty, perform all the rituals and rites of Hajj repeat the same Zikr or remembrance of ALLAH Almighty, and supplicate to ALLAH Almighty.

1. Pilgrimage Hajj Is Obligatory
To Perform
Verse 2:196 of Holy Quran,
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for ALLAH. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what
can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the
sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has
an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three
days] or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then whoever performs 'umrah
[during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of
sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of
three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten
complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram.
And fear ALLAH and know that ALLAH is severe in penalty.

2. About two million people every year visit to Makkah from many different corner of the world for performing
Hajj, Hajj provide unique opportunity for those coming from different nations to meet one another. Although
City Makkah is always filled with visitors, the yearly Hajj begins in the twelfth month Zil-Hajj of the Islamic year.
Pilgrims wear special clothes prescribed for performing Hajj and Umrah, simple clothing which strip away
distinctions of country, class and culture, so that all Pilgrims stand equal before
ALLAH Almighty.

3. Muslims from all around the world begin observing rituals and rites that are associated with the

days (8th-13th) lunar month of Zil-Hajj of the Islamic calendar. Pilgrimage is once in a lifetime
obligation for all those Muslims who got the physical and financial ability to undertake the sacred

In previous centuries the Hajj was very hard to perform. In the present day, however, Government of
Saudi Arabia provides millions of people with water, modern air conditioned transportation facilities,
and the most important and up-to-date health facilities. The ending of the Hajj is marked by a festival
known as Eid al-Azha, which is celebrated with namaz and the exchange of gifts and good wishes in
Muslim communities everywhere. And the other one is Eid al-Fitr, a feast-day performed when Holy
month Ramadan ends, these are the two main festivals of the Muslim calendar. There are so many
virtues and blessings of performing Hajj. We are completely unaware that which of us will going to be
alive to see and get the blessings of Hajj next year. As such, we must eagerly and passionately devote
ourselves to remembrance of ALLAH Almighty now. So, the whole worship of pilgrimage Hajj is just to
implant in the heart that ALLAH Almighty is the Only True God Who has no partner.

4. Verse 22:26-28 of Holy Quran,
And [mention, O Muhammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House,
[saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform
Tawaf and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate. And proclaim to
the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel;
they will come from every distant pass - That they may witness benefits for themselves
and mention the name of ALLAH on known days over what He has provided for them of
[sacrificial] animals. So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.
These above mentioned verses clearly indicate that the acts of ibadah have been enacted for
particular goal, which is attainable only through performing the worship with sincerity in
conformity with the commands of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The focus of these goals is on
the enrichment of ethics and morals and it enhances faith.
