The main reason Muslims go to Makkah is to pray in the Holy Mosque. Often, they perform the Umrah, the lesser pilgrimmage, while visiting the Holy Mosque. Once a year, the Hajj, the greater pilgrimmage, takes place in Makkah and nearby sites. During the Hajj, three million people worship in unison. If a person performs the Umrah or the Hajj correctly, all his/her sins are forgiven. Every adult, healthy, sane Muslim who has enough money to travel to Makkah and can make arrangements for the care of his/her dependents during the trip, must perform the Hajj once in a lifetime. In 2007, the Hajj will begin on Tuesday, December 18. The main reason Muslims go to Makkah is to pray in the Holy Mosque.
