The Fifth Pillar of Islam
What Is Hajj?
Hajj is the sacred pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia — the fifth and final pillar of Islam. It is obligatory once in a lifetime for every adult Muslim who is physically able and financially capable. Performed during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Hajj draws over two million pilgrims from across the world to participate in a unified act of worship, humility, and devotion.
The rituals of Hajj trace the footsteps of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام), his son Ismail (عليه السلام), and Hajar — commemorating their faith, sacrifice, and absolute submission to Allah. From the plains of Arafat to the stoning of Jamarat, each rite carries deep spiritual weight and a profound opportunity for forgiveness and renewal.
