Read and explain the following.

Hajj, or pilgrimage, is the fifth pillar
of Islam.
Hajj is the journey to the Holy
Ka’bah, the Sacred House of Allah,
in Makkah for the purpose of wor-
shipping Allah in a very special way.
Hajj is performed during the month
of Dhul-Hijjah, the twelfth month of
the Islamic calendar.

Allah commands that Hajj be per-
formed once in a lifetime by those
adults who can afford the journey to
Makkah and are physically strong
enough to do so.
Children may perform the Hajj too if
they wish but it is not compulsory
upon them.

Hajj is not a new practice.
Allah had commanded all his
Prophets [a] to perform Hajj to the
sacred Ka’bah.

Hajj is a great form of worship
