• Many of the Hajj rites commemorate the remarkable
obedience, submission, and sacrificial practices of the
Prophet Abraham and his older son Ishmael.
• Muslim pilgrims usually return to their homelands
spiritually charged and more attached to the Muslim
nation.
• To meet millions of Muslims from all different
countries, races, colors and in one place, performing
the same rites and wearing the same dress, leaves an
unforgettable impression of human brotherhood and
unity.
