Comments:	Hajj Seminar 2010: The annual Hajj or pilgrimage of Islam brings millions of Muslims to Mecca, located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. All Muslims, both men and women, who are financially and physically able, are expected to attend the Hajj at least once in their lives. The pilgrimage consists of several ceremonies meant to symbolize the essential concepts of Islam and commemorate the trials of prophet Abraham and his family. The hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and an essential part of a Muslim’s faith and practice. This week-long event occurs two months and ten days after Ramadan ends, during the Muslim month of Dhul-Hijjah. Learn of the activities involved during the pilgrimage and their historic and spiritual importance to Muslims. Objectives • Understand that many of the same activities and motivations associated with these events are enjoyed by Muslims who attend the Hajj; • Understand where the Hajj takes place in Mecca and that people travel from all parts of the world to attend; • Understand the specific ritual activities of the Hajj, their historic relevance, and importance to Islam; • Appreciate the diversity of other groups’ religious and cultural traditions; • Understand the importance of attending the Hajj and its spiritual impact from an American Muslim's point of view; • Identify ways in which other religious and traditional practices are similar to one's own.

Hadith of the Day

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr: The Prophet said, “Allah’s Pleasure results from the parents pleasure, and Allah’s Displeasure results from the parent’s displeasure.” (At-Tirmidhi reported it; Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih [sound])

Quote of the Day
