The Hajj is the second largest annual gathering of Muslims in the world.[6] The state of being physically and financially capable of performing the Hajj is called istita'ah, and a Muslim who fulfills this condition is called a mustati. The Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God (Allah).[7][8] The word Hajj means "to intend a journey", which connotes both the outward act of a journey and the inward act of intentions.[9] Etymology[edit] History[edit] Timing of Hajj[edit] Rites[edit]
