Hajj is an annual worship. Muslims from all over the world gather at Makkah and perform the Hajj in the last month of the Hijri calendar. The Quran tells the purpose of Hajj in these words: So that they may witness its benefit for them. (THE QURAN 22: 28) Here, the word “benefit” is not meant in the material sense, rather it is meant in the historical sense. The fact is that in Makkah and its adjoining areas, there are monuments and memories associated with the great history of the divine mission, which originated from Prophet Abraham, Hajira and Prophet Ishmael. Later, the Prophet of Islam and his Companions emerged at the culmination of this history. It was they who played a revolutionary role in establishing the historical authenticity of Islam.
