Hajj season is right around the corner and here are quick Facts about Hajj
Hajj is the 5th pillar of Islam.
It is a pilgrimage in Makkah and its surrounding areas:
Mina
Arafat
Muzdalifa
Jamarat
Every adult Muslim must perform Hajj at least once in their lifetime as long they are financially, physically, and mentally able.
Hajj takes place in the Islamic Month of Dhul-Hijjah aka Month of Hajj (the 12th month of the Hijri Calendar)
Hajj rituals take place between the 8th to 12th of Dhul-Hijjah
Hajj originates back to Prophet Ibrahim (as) to commemorate his willingness to sacrifice his son Prophet Ismael (as).
On the 10th of Dhul Hijja is Eid-al-Adha where Muslims all over the world slaughter an animal and distribute its meat to the poor.
