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.
