the City of prophet Ibrahim and the land of Adam when he recognized Allah and
also the center of revelation of the Quran to mankind through his last
messenger. The place of revelation of the law of the Creator, Quran, to all men
at the House of people. It is mandatory for Muslims to perform this universal
act of worshiping once in a life time. If one is able to do so. As it is
mentioned in the Quran in Sura 3, Ayah 97:
"And Men owe to Allah "pilgrimage to the House, those who can afford the
journey…."
The laws of performing Hajj are mentioned in the Quran in ten places. Hajj or
pilgrimage is performed in the month of Thw Al-Hajja or the twelfth month by all
the Muslims regardless of their nationality or race. It presents unity and
justice around the House of Allah, that is the House of the people according to
His laws which are the laws for mankind. Hajj also means message. It is the
message of how to activate our constitution, Quran, in action. The message of
unity in uniformity of clothing (2 pieces of white material ) while in the
boundary of the House and obedient to the law of the House. The message of one
law in the House and around that law as one family together
