What is the purpose of the Hajj in the Islamic religion?

Answer 1

To pray at the site of the Ka'Bah

Pilgrimage is ordered in Quran (2,196 and in other verses places, also). It says 'Do it for Allah, without missing any single supposition.'

Muslim people really love Mohammed (as). They want to see where he lived, where he prayed and so on.

Answer 2

The main purpose is to fulfil the requirements of the fifth pillar of Islam.

The fifth pillar of Islam is hajj (or pilgrimage) to Mecca (or Makkah) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Is obligatory to every adult Muslim, regardless the Gender, to go for hajj at least once in life if he/she can afford it physically, financially, and safely. However, there are many other reasons why Muslims perform hajj (or pilgrimage in English) 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.
