idk about the other ones

Answer 2

The Hajj means the pilgrimage to Mecca, that every Moslem must take .
It is really a great big rock or a meteorite
sitting in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert, covered by a black curtain.
They hold this special day once a year , when what's called the Ramadam. The fasting, when you don't eat all day but eat and feast all night.
Every year they get in the news, an odd incident of someone who's been trample to death , or of an occasional fire. The festival well policed incase of any incidents.Or so called accidents.
And they circle around the great stone and tough or kis the rock, sounds like a 'stoning ' to me.
Does anyone get stoned to death too, when they make this pilgrimage?

Answer 3

The hajj is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, and is the pilgrimage to Mecca that every able-bodied Muslim is expected to make at least once in his life. It involves going to the holy city, wearing special clothes and visiting the Kabah, a cube -shaped structure in the middle of the city.

The prophet Muhammad founded Islam.

Sorry, don't know the other two, but hope this helps.

Answer 4

The Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca that every able-bodied Muslim is expected to complete at least once.

The Hajj was old even in the days that Mohammed (may peace be apon him) lived and is thought to have originated as long ago as 2000BC. The Angel Gabriel is believed to have taught the route and ritual of Hajj to Ishmael, one of the sons of Abraham.
Many Christian Arabs used to observe the Hajj, but it has become almost exclusively a Muslim celebration in recent years.

The Pilgrims carry out a series of highly symbolic acts during the 5 days it takes to complete.
The various tasks are:
1) Day 1: TAWAF. Walk seven times counter-clockwise around the Kaaba, the building at the centre of the Muslim faith, which all Muslims face towards when they prey, wherever they are in the world. This symbolises the seven times Mohammed himself walked around the Kaaba when deep in thought.
2) Day 1: SA'I. Walk or run seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah. This mimics the desperate search for water by Ibrahim's wife, Hajar before the Angel Gabriel revealed the location of the Zamzam Well to her.
After completing the course, the Pilgrims then drink from the Zamzam Well.
3) Day 2: ARAFAT. The Pilgrims travel to Mount Arfat, where Mohammed gave his last sermon. The Pilgrims must stay there from mid afternoon until sunset (the length of Mohammed's sermon).
4) Day 2(at night): MUZDALIFAH. The Pilgrims travel to the area of Muzdalifah and each gather 49 pebbles or stones for use in the next day's ritual.
5) Day 3: RAMY AL-JAMARAT. The Pilgrims throw stones at three stone pillars. This signifies the three times the Devil tried to convince Abraham not to sacrifice his son, in refusal of God's command and Abraham's three rejections of the Devil. Each Pilgrim is expected to hit each pillar 7 times.
6) Day 3: EID UL-ADHA. An animal is sacrificed to symoblise Abraham's subsitution of his son for a ram to sacrifice to God.
The meat of every animal sacrificed on this day is given to charity and shipped out all over the world and given free to the poor.
7) Day 3: TAWAF AZ-ZIYARAH. Back to Mecca for another 7 times around the Kaaba.
8) Day 4: TAWAF AZ-ZIYARAH. Stone the three pillars again.
9) Day 5: TAWAF AZ-ZIYARAH. Stone the three pillars AGAIN, then back to Mecca for seven last laps of the Kaaba.
