hajj

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.
