Al-Hajj
“The Pilgrimage”
A once-in-a-lifetime journey
Hajj is a special journey to the city of Makkah. Every Muslim who is healthy and can afford it should go at least once in their life.
Millions of people, all together
Every year, millions of Muslims from every country come to Makkah. Men wear simple white clothes, so rich and poor all look the same before Allah.
What happens at Hajj?
Pilgrims walk around the Kaaba seven times, which is called tawaf. They pray, make dua and remember the Prophet Ibrahim and his family. Hajj happens in the month of Dhul Hijjah, and Muslims everywhere celebrate Eid al-Adha.
“And proclaim the Hajj to the people; they will come to you on foot and on every kind of camel, from every distant path.”
