The main benefit of Hajj for many people is the sense of purification, repentance and spiritual renewal it instills. What do Muslims believe they gain from Hajj? Proclaim the pilgrimage among mankind: they will come to you on foot and on every lean (beast of burden) Let them come from every deep ravine, to bear witness to the advantages they have, and to mention God’s name on appointed days…” Chapter 22, verses 26-28
In the Qur’an, God says: “Thus We settled Abraham at the site of the House (the Ka’aba) : ‘Do not associate anything with Me, and purify My house for those who walk around it, and those who stand there (praying), and those who bow down on their knees in worship. It is also a form of worship that involves the entire being: body, mind and soul. Pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for those Muslims who have the physical and financial ability to undertake the journey. Hajj activities take place during six days (8th-13th) of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah. Hajj is one of the “five pillars” of the Islamic faith. Below is the article that could provide us, me included a little bit more info about Hajj and it's importance.Įach year in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the world begin observing activities associated with the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Your sole purpose of being there amongst others is to pray to HIM, to seek HIM, to purify yourself of all of your past sins and to seek for HIS forgiveness.Īs we are in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, and it is the month where Muslims all around the world would gather in Mecca to perform their Hajj, I found an interesting article on TUMBLR which I'd like to share with all of you. People from all over the world, young and old, regardless of their gender, race and color are united as one in the holy place of Mecca. It was a beautiful and memorable experience that I will personally treasure for the rest of my life and given the opportunity, I would love to go to Mecca & Medina again.
