Hajj pilgrimage

1 post

The Hajj pilgrimage (الحج) is a yearly journey to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam (أركان الإسلام الخمسة). It is required for all Muslims who can do so, to complete Hajj at least once in their lifetime (مرة واحدة في العمر). The pilgrimage includes several rituals over five to six days, such as walking around the Kaaba (الكعبة), staying at Mount Arafat (جبل عرفات), and the symbolic stoning of the devil (رمي الجمرات).
