Hajj Pilgrimage

Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which every Muslim must undertake at least once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially able. It occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and involves a series of rituals over several days, including standing at Arafat and circling the Kaaba, a sacred structure in the Grand Mosque. Hajj symbolizes unity, humility, and submission to Allah, and it fosters a sense of global Muslim community, as millions from diverse backgrounds come together for this spiritual journey.
