Hajj

Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Every Muslim who is physically and financially able is required to undertake Hajj at least once in their lifetime.

The pilgrimage occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and involves a series of rituals performed over several days, including:

Ihram: Entering a state of spiritual purity and wearing specific garments.
Tawaf: Circumambulating the Kaaba, the sacred structure in Mecca.
Sa’i: Walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah.
Standing at Arafat: A day spent in prayer and reflection at the plain of Arafat.
Eid al-Adha: Sacrificing an animal to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son.
Hajj is a profound spiritual journey that emphasizes unity, humility, and devotion among Muslims worldwide.
