Muslim pilgrims gathered for their haj pilgrimage this year. The Haj is
one of a Muslim's duties, as described in the five pillars of Islam, to go
on a haj at least once during his or her lifetime, if affordable. Prophet
Muhammad had said that a person who performs haj properly will return as a
newly born baby, free of all sins. [Reuters] |
