| | Hajj - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In spite of the physical hardships for some, pilgrims who complete the Hajj consider it one of the greatest spiritual experiences of their lives. | | | Hajj al-tamattu is where the Umrah rituals are performed first and then the Hajj rituals (those described in the previous section) are performed. | | | While in Mecca for the Hajj, male pilgrims are required to dress only in an ihram, a garment consisting of two sheets of white unhemmed cloth, the top draped over the torso and the bottom secured by a white sash; plus a pair of sandals. |

| | Performing these rituals, known as the Hajj, is the fifth pillar of Islam and the most significant manifestation of Islamic faith and unity. | | | Performing the Hajj is the spiritual apex of a Muslim's life, one that provides a clear understanding of his relationship with God and his place on Earth. | | | Without the distractions that their forebears had to contend with, today's pilgrims are free to focus solely on the spiritual aspect of the Hajj. |

| | The hajj's important lies in its allowing the believer to approach the assumed centre of the world, as well as the place where the Koran's divine revelations began and continued about 12 years. | | | Of most importance, however, Islam teaches that the hajj is one of the oldest true and pure religious rituals (pure in the sense that is performed according to God's will). | | | But the performer of hajj does not only reenact Muhammad's ritual, he or she also recalls acts of important people in Muslim history. |

| | Hajj |
| | This Hajj is known in history as Hajjatul Wida’ or Farewell Pilgrimage because this proved to be the last Hajj the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) performed. | | | With this idea, Hajj has been made a pinnacle of worship in order that Muslims who gather to perform Hajj can praise their Lord and Master, be thankful for His blessings, and humbly pray to Him for the removal of their difficulties. | | | Hajj is a special worship that lasts for several days. |

| | Hajj is a main pillar of religion, and a mainstay of faith. | | | Hajj, therefore, is a physical and material form of worship in which the worshipper gives of himself both physically and materially and endures hardships and troubles in the way of Allah, demonstrating his pure pristine servitude to Allah and his independence from any power other than Him. | | | Hajj, in its general formula of certain devotions and prayers recited by the pilgrim, inspires the soul with spiritually sublime feelings. |
