Hajj

Hajj is a pilgrimage to Makkah, at least once in a lifetime and it is obligatory upon every Muslim male and female who is mentally, physically and financially fit. Peace is the dominant theme. Peace with Allah (SWT), with one's soul, with one another, with all living creatures. To disturb the peace of anyone or any creature in any shape or form is strictly prohibited.

Muslims from all walks of life, from every corner of the globe assemble in Makkah in response to the call of Allah (SWT). There is no royalty, but there is loyalty of all to Allah (SWT), the Creator. It is to commemorate the Divine rituals observed by the Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, who were the first pilgrims to the house of Allah (SWT) on earth: the Ka'bah. It is also to remember the great assembly of the Day of Judgement when people will stand equal before Allah (SWT).
