The Most Sacred Journey A Muslim Can Take
The Haaj is the name of the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca that all muslims are employed to complete once in their life if possible.
The journey is a statement of solidarity across the islamic world. The word Haaj means "to attend a journey" and usually takes place over 5-6 days. The date of the Haaj is dictated by the Islamic calendar known as the Haaj Calendar which is based on lunar cycles. If you're a muslim this is an unmissable quest that brings you closer to Allah.
