Hajj, or the pilgrimage to Makkah, is the fifth obligation for Muslims. Every year, millions of people take part in it. Muslims travel to Makkah to follow Allah’s guidance. The Quran, in Chapter 3, mentions that Makkah is the first place of worship on Earth.
“Surely the first House of worship established for humanity is the one at Bakkah.
a blessed sanctuary and a guide for all people.
In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah.
Upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of any of His creation”
[Surah A’li Imran 3:96-97]
Muslim world gathers in Makkah to perform this good deed.
