Why is it important for Muslims to go on a hajj?

Answer 1

Hajj (pilgrimage) is a great annual event for Muslims. Hajj is an important ritual worship that should be performed by any adult Muslim (man or woman) at least once in life if one can afford it physically, financially and safely.

There are many reasons for why Hajj is important and for why Muslims perform hajj. First of these reasons is that Hajj is the fifth pillar of the Islam 5 pillars. You as adult Muslim (man or woman) is required to perform hajj at least once in your life if you can afford it financially, physically, and safely. Hajj is also important for the following numerous benefits gained through performing Hajj:

• It teaches us that Muslims are brothers and are equal.
• It can teach us that no differences among people due to race, tribe, color, home country, or tongue language.
• It teaches us, practically, the real human rights when you find people equal during praying, worshiping, and during performing the rituals.
• Hajj learns us that we are belonging to God alone and that we all need his mercy and forgiveness.
• Hajj is the biggest world gathering in the world. It is a demonstration of Islam unity and Islam universality.
• Muslims get acquainted with the spiritual and historical environment of the prophet Muhammad which strengthen their faith.
• It is a reminder of the Grand Assembly of the Day of Judgment when people will stand equal before Allah waiting for their final destiny.
• It confirms commitment of Muslims to Allah.

On top of the above, Muslims on Hajj are rewarded, per God will, with forgiveness of all their sins and they return back as pure and innocent and free from sins as they are newly born.

Answer 2

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. It is as important as offering prayer or paying Zakaat. The difference is that it is obligatory just once in life time. It is, however, extremely important if certain conditions are fulfilled.

Answer 3

Hajj is important to Muslims because it is in the 5 pillars of Islam. It is the 5th pillar. Also you must go to hajj, since Allah has commanded the people of Islam to go there; give charity(250$) to poor people; and do prayers. You will have to go to hajj at least once or more in your entire life. Hajj is one of the most important things after the Qur'aan.

Hajj has a significant impact on the Islamic community because this practice strengthens the spirit of unity between each person toward one another and brings equality amongst the pilgrims no matter what race, colour or gender they are because once a pilgrim is on Hajj all that matters is the Tawid (oneness) of Allah.

It is important because it is one of the pillars of Islam, the prophets did it, and it says in the Quran and Hadiths. The benefits are many. You will have a clean slate(no bad deeds) as if you were a new born baby. You will become a better muslim. And you will see what Islam is really all about.
