POST COMMENTARY
Hajj or pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of Islam. It is obligarory for the adult Muslim who is physically and financialy able and sane. It means visiting Makkah for the purpose of worship during a specific period of time. Male Muslims wear certain unsewn clothes for this tritaul. Women wear their ordinary clothes. Pilgrimage is the Muslims’ annual congress where Muslims from all over the world meet to come closer to each other and know one another better. In this way of worship and ritual, Muslims commemorate the memory of their father Ibraheem who did all he could to obey, please and satisfy his Lord. Pilgrimage is also an occasion when Muslims declare their relationship and acknowledgement to all the previous religions, namely Judaism and Christianity, Whose origin and forefather was prophet Ibrahim.
