The Sacred Pilgrimage
Hajj & Umrah
The pilgrimage to Makkah: the fifth pillar of Islam, uniting millions of believers in complete equality.
💡 Key Takeaway:
Hajj is only required once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially capable.
The Journey to the Ka'bah
Every year during the 12th Islamic month (Dhul Hijjah), over two million Muslims from every race, nation, and social class gather in Makkah dressed in simple, identical white garments. Rich and poor stand shoulder to shoulder before God.
What is Umrah?
Umrah is the lesser pilgrimage which can be performed at any time of the year in just a few hours, involving circumambulating the Ka'bah (Tawaf) and walking between the hills of Safa and Marwa.
