That might be the extent to the average person’s knowledge about Hajj – if they even know what it is. Thus, the spiritual revolution brought by the Holy Prophetsa once again revived the actions of Hajj performed by the Prophet Abrahamas, but also added many new spiritual aspects in order to reinforce and perfect the Hajj. This question lies at the crux of the Hajj: Why do Muslims go to Makkah to perform the Hajj? So the next time you hear about Hajj, Makkah or Arabia, remember the beautiful sight of Hajj: the great unifier of humanity. Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmadrh, An Elementary Study of Islam, Chapter: Hajj – The Pilgrimage (Tilford, Surrey: Islam International Publications Ltd., 2010), 41.
