Hajj (pilgrimage) is a great annual event for Muslims. Hajj is important to Muslims for many reasons. There are many reasons why Muslims perform hajj which translate into the following numerous benefits of Hajj:

  • It teaches us that Muslims are brothers and are equal.
  • It teaches 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 (Allah) alone and that we all need his mercy and forgiveness.
  • Hajj is 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 as the new the born.
