The Haj 2010.mp4

Wishing all Muslims around the world and in particular Malaysian Muslims: Selamat Hari Raya Haji.

The Haj, is the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Press Agency said that a record number of Muslims were expected to make the Haj this year - over 3.4 million anticipated over the five days of the pilgrimage.

One of the pillars of Islamic faith, the Haj must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by any Muslim who has the ability to do so. Pilgrims perform a series of rituals including walking around the Kaaba, standing vigil on Mount Arafat and a ritual Stoning of the Devil (Jamarat)

At the end of the Haj, the three day festival of Eid al-Adha begins around the world.
