The Significance of Performing Hajj:
fulfills a religious obligation, but it's also a deeply spiritual experience of a lifetime for many.
Hajj refers to the journey to the holy city of Makkah during the month of Zil-Hajj, where specific rituals of worship are performed. It is a remarkable religious event that attracts over two million people from around the world every year. As the fifth pillar of Islam, it is obligatory for every financially and physically capable adult Muslim to perform Hajj at least once in their lifetime.
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said,
“And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Kabah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses (for one’s conveyance, provision and residence)” (3:97)
