Literally speaking, Hajj means heading to a place for the sake of visiting. In Islamic terminology, Hajj is a pilgrimage made to Kaaba, the ‘House of God’, in the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The rites of Hajj, which go back to the time of Prophet Abraham who built Kaaba after it had been first built by Prophet Adam, are performed over five or six days, beginning on the eighth and ending on the thirteenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Allah has made Hajj (journey) to His Sacred House mandatory on His slaves as a provoke commitment on whoever can bear it and it is desirable to overperform it frequently. It is the fundamental articles of Faith in Islam. Allah says:

"And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Kaaba) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses (for one’s conveyance, provision, and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah stands not in need of any of the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns)." (Al-'Imran 3:97)

The establishment of Islam in view of five fundamental pillars, one of which is to perform Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah and it is affirmed by an authentic Hadith of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) which covered the expert of Umar in the hadith accumulations of Bukhari and Muslim. On the off chance that a man is capable and can bear to perform Hajj and does not do as such, has positively denied himself of something great. He is denying himself of advantages that one can't envision and will lament on the Day of Resurrection. Allah says in a Qudsi Hadith:

"Any of My slaves who are healthy and are by the means and for five years did not visit My House, he is Mahroum (deprived)" (Ibn Hidan and Musnad Abu Yala' 3703, 1031) One must speed up the execution of the Hajj when it is expected and has not performed yet. The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: "Assist the execution of the Hajj, for nobody comprehends what may obstruct him." (Ibn Majah 2883).
