What you need to know before your trail

The story of Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah, begins over 4000 years ago when, following the Divine command, the Prophet Ibrahim travelled for a long distance till he reached the hot, barren lands of Arabia.

He left his wife Hagar, and his little baby, Ismail. Hagar struggled to find water for her baby but then the miraculous Zamzam spring came gushing out and saved their lives.

Ibrahim meanwhile carried on the most important journey of his life. This is a story of the building of the Kabah and the call to Hajj. The annual pilgrimage is one of the pillars of Islam has a special focus on the Prophet Muhammad’s Hajj.
