Hajj Pilgrimage
The fifth pillar of Islam is Hajj (pilgrimage); to visit the
holy lands once in their lifetime. It is obligatory for
all Muslims who are rich and healthy enough to
make the journey.
Slide 25
Hajj Pilgrimage
Verily, the first house (of worship) appointed for
mankind was that at Bakkah (Mekkah), full of
blessing, and a guidance for His creatures. In it, are
manifest signs, the Station of Abraham; whoever
enters it attains security. And Pilgrimage to the house
(Kabah) is a duty mankind owes to God, those who
can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, God
stands not in need of any of His creatures.
(Quran, 3:96-97)
Slide 26
Hajj Pilgrimage
With Pilgrimage, the central aims of worship exalting,
glorifying and praising God occur individually and
collectively in large numbers.
Slide 27
Hajj - Pilgrimage
Revolving around a central axis is
a universal act of worship Hence
Muslims circle Kabah.
All that is in the heavens and
on the earth extols and glorifies
God, for He is the Tremendous,
the Wise, (Quran, 57:1)
Hajj is about connecting to the
monotheistic tradition and to
realise that Islam is not a new
religion but the primordial religion
of God.
Slide 28
Hajj Pilgrimage
Pilgrimage is a total human experience and has
multiple outcomes for a Muslim.
A Muslim truly appreciates the universality of belief
in one God (tawhid) and oneness of humanity.
Therefore it detaches a person from tribalism in
religion and racism. Many people have a significant
leap in their faith and go through a transformation
after Hajj.
Hajj is one of the most spectacular religious and
social annual events in the world. It brings together
millions of Muslims from all around the world.
