Hajj:

                                               

Being a muslim we have faith on love and relationship between Allah and humanbeing and we believe that to get this love and to maintain it we do lots of things for Allah. Muslims exist on earth to pray for Allah and fulfill pillars which are five. Hajj is one of five pillars of Islam. Hajj is as important to Muslim,s life as heart is important  for our body and blood is important for heart . Hajj which is muslim,s religious duty is compulsory for all those who re healthy and wealthy.Mean to say that those can perform this farz who are capable physically and financially. The pilgrimage occures to 8^th to 12^th of Zilhajj(last month of Islamic Calender)The gathering during hajj is considered a large gathering of the world in every year to perform Hajj by Muslims from all over the world.Which shows pilgrim love for Allah.  As Muslims know that existence of Kabaa is on earth on demand of Hazrat Adam because he demanded the place for pray on earth and angels devided that place into five mountains than after disaster it was constructed by Ibrahim and his son. Also the Quran states that Ibrahim, along with his son Ishmael, raised the foundations of a house that is identified by most commentators as the Kaaba. The present pattern of Hajj was established by Hazrat Muhammad PBUH who made necessary reforms to the pre-Islamic pilgrimage of the pagan Arabs. The series of ritual acts that must be performed in the Hajj keeps history. The first step which pilgrim performed is to Walk around the Ka'aba 7 times counter-clock wise, Second is to run 7 times between As Sa-fa and A-marwah. This act has a history  and that is When in search of water, Hagar(Mother of Ishmael) desperately ran seven times between the two hills of Safa and Marwah but found none. Back in despair to Ishmael, she saw the baby scratching the ground with his leg and a water fountain underneath,The third step is to Stay overnight at Mina,fourth is to Pray all day at the Plain of Arafat,Fifth is to Stay overnight at Muzdalifah,Sixth and The most dangerous part of pilgrimage is stoning to the devil in the city of Mina and sacrifice af an animal and Seventh and last step done when Hajji Return to Mecca and complete 7 more circles around the Ka'aba counter-clock wise. So this is the travel of hajj which is travel of love and makes the relationship between Allah and muslim very strong.
