Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. The Hajj pilgrimage has its roots in the time of Prophet Ibrahim. He constructed a building in Mecca called the Kaaba with his son Ismael as a center of worship for mankind. Since then, pilgrimage to this holy city has been occurring annually for thousands of years. The Hajj rituals are performed mostly in the area of Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah. Tawaf and Sayee are performed in the premises of the Kaaba.

This picture shows Hajji going through the Passport and Immigration check at Hajj Terminal in Jeddah. The process from landing to this stage may take around one hour or more, due to the huge number of Hajji arriving at the same airport from different countries.

On the Day of Arafat the 9th of the Thul Hijja and when the sun rises, we go to Arafat and stay there until sunset. This is the greatest Day of the year which Allah forgives in that day much more than any other days, so brothers and sisters don't miss this opportunity and make as many supplications as possible while facing the Qibla. The Prophet-may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him-prayed thus: "There is no Deity but Allah alone. He has no partner. All dominion and praise are His and He is powerful over all things. At sunset we go from Arafat to Muzdalifah and there we pray Maghrib and Isha, combined as soon as we arrive to Muzdalifah. We remain there, in Muzdalifah, making supplications and remembering Allah till Fajr prayer. There is no tent in Muzdalifah so we advise all our Hajjis to have a sleeping bag.
