It is necessary for every true Muslim to follow the 5 pillars of Islam. Iman, Namaz, Ramadan, Zakat and Hajj. These are the 5 things that are mandatory for every Muslim. Hajj Pilgrimage is also one of the 5 pillars of Islam. According to Islam, it is the duty of every Muslim to visit the Holy Mecca at least once in his life. The Qur’an allows only those who are not physically or financially competent.
According to the Islamic calendar, the pilgrimage took place from the 8th to the 12th of the previous month. Since the Islamic calendar is 10 or 11 days shorter than the English calendar each year, the date will be different. The pilgrimage will be held from August 9th to 14th this year.
Recitation of Hajj:
Ihram
For
Haj pilgrims wear special clothes called ihram. Men wear a 2-piece unstitched white robe. At the same time, women also wear open-colored clothes in which only their hands and face are left covered.
Tawaf
All travelers going to Masjid al-Haram, which houses the Kaaba and take seven trips to the Kaaba. It is called Tawaf. After Tawaf, travelers walk back and forth between Safa and Marwah, two hills situated near the Kaaba. Which is called Say. The ritual of Tawaf and Say is called Umrah and only after this the actual rituals of Hajj begin.

Why does Satan kill stones?
It is believed that once Allah asked Hazrat Ibrahim his favorite thing in sacrifice. Ibrahim was born to a child in his old age, whom he named Ismail, he loved him the most. But obeying the orders of Allah, he agreed to sacrifice his son. When Hazrat Ibrahim was going to sacrifice his son, a devil was found on the way and he asked him why he is sacrificing his son at this age and who will take care of him after he dies. Hearing this, Hazrat Ibrahim fell into thinking and his intention of sacrificing also began to waver but then he was careful and went to offer the sacrifice. Hazrat Ibrahim felt that his feelings could be interrupted while making the sacrifice, so he blindfolded him. As soon as he removed the bandage after giving the sacrifice, he saw his son standing alive and was chopped off a lamb. This is the reason why the animal is sacrificed on this day. At the same time, Muslims stone Satan during Hajj because he tried to seduce Hazrat Ibrahim.
