Islam in a simple meaning is five Pillars, and the fifth pillar is Hajj. Hajj combines the other pillars, because when Muslims go to Hajj, they said during Hajj that there is no god except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and they pray, give charity and fast.
Muslims in Hajj must wear one clothe, it’s called Ihram, that’s for men, but for women they can wear anything, but there are some rules. The clothes must cover all the body of the woman except the face and hands, and the meaning for that is all Muslims are equals the rich and the poor, young and old and man and woman. Muslims in Hajj must go around Kaaba seven times, and same thing for Safa and Marwa, and standing on Arafa mountain. These three steps are the main steps in Hajj, and there are many steps such as sleeping in Mina and go to Muzdalifa and throwing the small stones.
That’s Hajj in simple explanation, but if I want to write everything about it, I will write maybe big book.

In last Ramadan there were many stories happened during it, so I will write a story happened in last Ramadan between my father and me about our work.
Before few months my father traveled to another country, and he told to my brother and me to control his work which includes heavy equipment such as dredgers and trucks until he comes back. We started the work knowing that I do not know how the work is, so I depended on my brother to teach me how I work, but he didn’t teach me everything I needed to do what I should do, so the days passed, and when my father returned my brother traveled to Egypt to seek treatment. After that, I knew nobody stayed in the face of the gun except me. I asked myself what should I do, I don’t know what I will tell my father about his, after that I knew it there was be a big problem, because I didn’t know anything about the work. After 2 days my father called me to come to his room to see what happened until he wasn’t here, so I came and we started, but after 30 minutes I surprised because everything my brother did it, it was wrong, and no one here except me, so I knew I was in big problem and no one responsible except me, so I locked to my father’s face, and his face started to change, and he started scold me, and I remained silent. Suddenly we heard the call to pray, in myself I said “the time for pray come”, and my father in a moment he calmed down after that with a nice smile he said “son go to the mosque and pray and don’t care everything will be OK”. When I heard that I felt so happy and pleasure and I went to pray.
