Every year millions of Muslims from all over the World go to perform Holy Pilgrimage in the Islamic month of Zilhajj-al-Haraam whose 2 days are very special: 9th of Zilhajj is the Day of Arafa and 10th of Zilhajj is the Festive Day of Eid-al-Adha. The main purposes of Hajj are to gather all Muslims to Grand Mosque/Ka'aba/Mecca in Saudi Arabia from different races/cultures/traditions (but all from one religion/Islam) so that they meet together and make friends to make a better world.

Hajj 2010- Holy Yearly Pilgrimage for Muslims from all over the World
Islamic month of Zilhajj-al-Haraam marks the start of the Hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Press Agency said that a record number of Muslims are expected to make the Hajj every year - over 3.4 million anticipated over the five days of the pilgrimage. One of the pillars of Islamic faith, the Hajj 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. At the end of the Hajj, on 10th Day of Zilhajj, the three day festival of Eid al-Adha begins around the world.
