What is Hajj?Hajj is the fifth basic duty of Islam

Hajj is a visit to the Kabah in Makkah during the 12th Month of the Islamic calender – Dhul Hijjah

Hajj is an act of worship to please Allah

A Muslim tries to make pilgrimage at least once in a lifetime.

What is the Kabah?

The Kabah is the house of Allah in the city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia

It is a large cube-shaped building covered with a large black cloth, with gold Arabic calligraphy

Muslims must face towards the Kabah at the time of prayer. This direction is called the Qiblah.

Who built the kabah?It was built by the first prophet Adam (pbuh).

It was rebuilt by the Prophets Ibrahim (pbuh) and his son Ismail (pbuh).

It is the first house built on earth to worship Allah and has been made larger over the years.

During Hajj, Muslims from all over the world gather together in Makkah.

Mission 3 – Shave/Trim Hair• Shave your complete head, do not leave

parts unshaved.• If you trim, take from all sides of your

head.• Do not take off your Ihraam until you

have shaved or trimmed. You are still in Ihraam until you do so.

• Do not shave your beard.

Mission 4 – Tawaf al Ifaadah

roof.

• After tawaf al ifaadah, you make sa’ee between Safa and Marwah
