Billions of Muslims from different parts of the world meet in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia to embark on the spiritual journey. The whole look and ambience of Islam’s holiest city changes during the final months of the year, as millions of pilgrims arrive to perform HAJJ
Hajj, is
considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam – the other pillars include
the profession of Allah as the only God and Mohammed as his prophet; charitable
giving, fasting during Ramadan and ritual prayer. It is expected that every practicing Muslim
must abide these 5 pillars of Islam. This whole event takes place annually
between the 8th and 12th days of Dhu-al-Hijjah- this the 12th month of the
lunar Islamic calendar. It is believed that during this time God’s spirit is
closest to earth.
