  5. How much did you get? • Ihram – A state of ritual purity which Muslims enter into at the start of Hajj. They declare their intention (Niyah) to go on Hajj, shower and then dress in white garments which symbolise purity and equality amongst Muslims. • Tawaf – Circling the Ka’ba 7 times. The Ka’ba is believed to have been the first building ever built to worship one God. • Sa’y - Running between Safa and Marwa– Muslims run between these two hills in remembrance of Hajar who ran between the hills looking for water. It is believed that the Zamzam well miraculously appeared beneath Ismail’s feet to provide for them.

  6. How much did you get? • The stand at Arafat – Mount Arafat was the site of Muhammad’s final sermon. It is also believed to be where Adam gained forgiveness from God. Muslims stand to pray to God for forgiveness and reflect upon their lives. • Stoning pillars at Mina– During the journey Muslims will collect rocks to throw at the three stone pillars at Mina. The pillars represent the Devil’s temptations. It is believed that Ibrahim was tempted by the Devil here. The stoning represents Muslims’ rejection of the Devil. • Id-ul-Adha – Muslims will sacrifice an animal and give a portion of the meat to the poor (as a mark of equality between Muslims). This is in remembrance of Ibrahim’s obedience to God when he was asked to sacrifice his son Ismail. God provided him with a lamb to sacrifice instead.
