  2. Hajj Hajj is the fifth pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam: pilgrimage to Makkah. Every healthy Muslim hopes that they will be able to make this pilgrimage once during their life time. The Hajj is a deeply spiritual experience for Muslims. On arriving at the city of Makkah, pilgrims enter a state of mind called ihram where they dedicate themselves to prayer and purity. From this point on they are not allowed to use perfume, have sex, cut their hair or nails, or kill any living thing. Muslim men wear two white sheets, showing that all are equal under Allah. Investigate ihram in more detail.

In 2010, the dates for Hajj fall between the 14th – 17th November. Muslims come from all over the world to perform Hajj. It is estimated that around 3 million pilgrims will attend Hajj in 2010. In order to attend Hajj, Muslims must apply for a Hajj visa before they can go. If the person has a non-Muslim name (e.g. a convert) then they must also provide an Islamic certificate to prove that they are a Muslim.
