Many of my friends asked my why millions of Muslims visit the city of Mecca every year. Being a Muslim, I know what is primary purpose of doing a Hajj. In simple words, Hajj is all about paying a holy tribute to the god - Allah. You will come to know about many stories giving different explanations behind the existence of hajj and its processions but their ultimate purpose is to seek forgiveness and peace for all wrong thing you did in your life. Irrespective of the financial conditions of himself, each and every Muslim tries to make it to Hajj at least once in his lifetime. According to a recent research report it has been found that Hajj is the biggest annual pilgrimage in the world. The pilgrimage to Mecca is related to a very old story related to Muhammad during the 7th century. It is said that when Ibrahim departed, his child became thirsty, and Hajra ran back and forth seven times in search of water for her son. Because of the intense thirst baby cried and hit the ground and surprisingly water sprang forth. This source of water is known as the Well of Zamzam today. What is Hadith? Hadith are basically the narrations emerging from the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to Hadith, the parts of the Hajj date back to the era of Ibrahim around 2000 BCE. Preferably people go for Hajj in groups as in this way they show their solidarity along with cost saving in transportation and accommodation. Many tour operators and airlines launch special schemes for Muslims in different parts of the world. They can travel by air or ship to do this religious pilgrimage to Mecca. During the Hajj processions, male pilgrims are needed to wear a special dress, popularly known as ihram. It is actually a garment consisting of two sheets of white unhemmed cloth. Muslims must wear ihram along with the top draped over the torso and the bottom by a white sash; plus a pair of sandals. If you have decided to go for pilgrimage to Mecca this season, it is advisable to do some research in advance to grab the best package for your journey. Through this way, you will be able to save lot of money in travel and accommodation deals. You can also ask your Muslim friends and relatives about their plans for Hajj, if they agree; you can make your plans together that will be a convenient option. The British Hajj & Umrah Services is geared towards making this auspicious and spiritual Hajj journey of a lifetime a one that will Inshallah change your life for the better forever.
