From June 4-8, millions of Muslims will participate in the Hajj, a sacred pilgrimage that emphasizes equality through the ihram garments. This five-day journey includes rituals like tawaf, circling the Kaaba seven times, and sa'i, walking between Safa and Marwa. The Kaaba, Islam's holiest site, is central to these practices, symbolizing the return to monotheism. The journey begins with the intention to perform Hajj and adopts a communal focus, stripping away individual markers of identity to foster unity among all pilgrims, as they gather for this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Pilgrims must enter a physical and spiritual condition known as ihram, symbolizing equality before God by wearing simple white garments.
The pilgrimage includes an initial tawaf, where pilgrims circle the Kaaba seven times, representing unity in worship.
