Hajj: The Fifth Pillar of Islam
Each year, millions of Muslims from around the world gather in the holy city of Makkah to perform Hajj—the sacred pilgrimage that stands as the fifth pillar of Islam.
Hajj is an obligatory act of worship (ibadah) for every adult Muslim who is physically and financially capable and of sound mind. This spiritual journey begins with a sincere niyyat (intention) and includes rituals such as ihram, tawaf, and sa’i.
Pilgrims travel to Mina, experience the profound Day of Arafat, spend the night under the open sky in Muzdalifah, perform the rami (stoning of the devil), offer qurbani (animal sacrifice), complete tawaf al-ifadah and sa’i, and finally return home after tawaf al-wida.
Though physically demanding and financially intensive, Hajj is a life-altering journey that strengthens faith and deepens the spiritual bond with Allah.
A Dream Shared by Millions
Hearing the call:
“Labaik Allahumma Labaik”
…awakens something deep within the soul.
A longing.
A desire.
A hope.
“I wish I could be there.”
For countless Muslims, Hajj is more than a ritual—it’s a dream nurtured for years. But in today’s world, that dream often gets postponed. Rising costs, family responsibilities, and life’s many demands cause many to defer this sacred journey for “someday”—often waiting for old age or “when things settle.”
But remember this:
If you have the means, Hajj is farz (obligatory).
If you can afford a vacation or a new car, then you are likely a Sahib-e-Istita’at—someone upon whom Hajj has already become a duty. Islam encourages performing Hajj while you are young and able. Don’t wait. Make the niyyat. Take the step.
So, How Do You Start Saving for Hajj—The Right Way?
Many people try to save for Hajj using informal methods like committees or rotating savings groups. But with Hajj costs rising each year, these traditional methods may fall short or leave you unprepared.
What you need is a structured, disciplined, and riba-free (interest-free) savings approach—one that not only aligns with Islamic principles but also helps you meet your goal with peace of mind.
