Hajj

Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, required for all Muslims to undertake at least once in their lives if they are physically and financially able. It occurs in the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and involves a series of rituals performed over five days, including walking around the Kaaba, standing in prayer at Arafat, and participating in symbolic acts that commemorate the actions of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his family. Hajj promotes unity, spiritual growth, and a sense of community among Muslims worldwide.
