Rituals of Hajj
  • 1. Walking around the Ka'abaPilgrims walk seven
    times around the Kaaba at the Great Mosque in
    Mecca. Many also attempt to touch the Black
    stone, a rock believed to have been sent from
    Heaven.
  • 2. Running between the hills of Safa and Marwa
  • Pilgrims run seven times along a passageway
    in the Great Mosque, re-enacting a search for
    water by Hajar, wife of the Prophet Ibrahim.
  • 3. Standing at ArafahOn the ninth day of the
    month, pilgrims go to Arafah, a plain about nine
    miles southeast of Mecca. There they listen to a
    sermon delivered from Mount Arafah, where the
    Prophet Muhammad (s) gave his final sermon.

  • 4. Night at Muzdalifah
  • Pilgrims spend a night in the open at
    Muzdalifah, near Mecca. They collect pebbles to
    throw at the pillars in Mina.
  • 5. Throwing stones at the Pillars in Mina
  • Pilgrims throw pebbles at three spots where
    Satan is believed to have tempted the Prophet
    Ibrahim (a) and his family.
  • 6. Sacrifice at Mina
  • Pilgrims sacrifice an animal (usually a sheep or
    goat). This commemorates the time when the
    Prophet Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son
    and God accepted a sheep instead.
  • 7. Drinking Zamzam water
  • Pilgrims drink water from the Zamzam well, which
    is inside the Great Mosque. Muslims believe this
    is where God provided water from Hajar and her
    son, Ismail, when they were wandering in the
    desert.
