Pilgrimage to mecca is one of
the five pillars of Islam. It is obligatory for every able muslim to
visit Mecca once in his lifetime for pilgrimage because the Holly Qur’an
says: “Pilgimage is a duty man owes to Got. Those who can offer journey…”The
prophet also said: “Islam is built upon five pillars. First there is no other
God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. Second ,to observet the five daily
prayers. Third to give zakat, the divine tax. Fourth to fast during the month
of Ramadan, and fifth to perform the pilgrimage to the holly House of God in Mecca
for those who are able to offer the journey.
Hajj in Islam means visiting
the sacred Mosque in Mecca during certain dates in muslim year, which are
called :” the month of Hajj.” These months are Shawwal, Zul-Qo’dah and
Zul-Hijja. The pilgimage to Mecca can
only be accepted at these times and the condition of performing Hajj cannot be accepted before these months,
for the holy Quran says: “ The Hajj is performed in certain months.
