The religion of Islam is based upon five 'pillars' of faith, one of which, is pilgrimage to the sacred house in Mecca [ or more correctly "Makkah" ], by the Muslims who have the ability.
Muslims believe that that 'Mecca' is the settlement mentioned in both The Bible and the Qur'aan. The place where Abraham built his house of monotheistic worship to Allah.
Henceforth, all Muslims aspire to make a pilgrimage to this sacred house, at least once in their lifetimes if they are able to as, in Islam, all obligations are dependent upon 'ability', and the obligation is 'lifted' on the one who is unable to perform it.
