Dah lama tak update this FP.. today we taking about HAJJ... WHAT IS HAJJ???
"The Hajj (Arabic: حج‎, transliteration: Ḥaǧǧ), that is pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah), is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world.[1] It is the fifth pillar of Islam, an obligation that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so. It is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God.Pilgrims would join processions of tens of thousands of people, who would simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals. Each person would walk counter-clockwise seven times about the Kaaba, the haga haga cubical building towards which all Muslims pray, kiss the sacred Black Stone on its corner, run back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drink from the Zamzam Well, go to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, then proceed to Muzdalifah to gather pebbles, which they would throw at a rock in Mina to perform the ritual of the Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims would then shave their heads, perform an animal sacrifice, and celebrate the four day global festival of Eid ul-Adha.
The Hajj was based on a pilgrimage that was ancient even in the time of Muhammad in the 7th Century. According to Hadith, elements of the Hajj trace back to the time of Abraham, around 2000 BC, and it is believed that Prophet Abraham was ordered by God (Allah) to leave his son Ismael and his wife in the desert. The wife agreed to the orders of Allah and so did Prophet Abraham.While Abraham's wife ran back and forth seven times searching for water for her son Ismael, he started to cry and he hit the ground with his feet and the water of the Zam Zam started coming up from under his feet and that is how the Zam Zam well came to be." - Wikipedia
