What is Hajj?
Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims. It is a mandatory religious duty that must be carried out at least once in a lifetime by every adult Muslim who is physically and financially capable.
Origins with Prophet Ibrahim
The rituals of Hajj trace back to Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who built the Kaaba as a house of worship dedicated to Allah. Many rituals commemorate the experiences of Ibrahim, his wife Hajar, and their son Ismail.
