- The Hajj ( Ḥaǧǧ) is a pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah).

The Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to Allah. The pilgrimage occurs from the 8th to 12th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islam. Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, eleven days shorter than the Gregorian calendar used in the Western world, the Gregorian date of the Hajj changes from year to year. In 2007, the Hajj was from December 17–21; in 2008 from December 6–10, and in 2009 will be November 25–29.

| - Traditionally, pilgrims, known as "tourists", travel to the Holy City on their lonesome, or with their gay sex partner, wife, husband, second cousin's uncle's sister's former roommate, or someone from their mosque. If a woman is going to the Hajj, she might need a guy around. Arabs are very picky about women traveling without men. This is because Arabs think women are children. The guys are required to dress only in an aloha shirt, preferably with lei, complete with camera, along with a pair of shorts or plaid pants; women are required to dress in a muumuu or bathing suit along with hijab, with messy makeup and a silly hat being preferred. This is called Ihram, or touristy clothing, and stems from the original Makkah (otherwise known as "Walt Disney World"). The Ihram symbolizes equality and purity, in recognition of the fact that tourists, whether rich or poor, dress and behave like a buffoon on marijuana. A "miqat", or "bathroom", is where one changes into Ihram, and while wearing the Ihram, a person cannot put on makeup, cut their pigtails, upchuck (unless feeling sick), let their feet go bad, pee on the front lawn, or cut their chest hair. To start the Hajj, a tourist chants the "Tourist's Voodoo Prayer", also known as the "Talbiyah". (The prayer goes, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, get me outta this God-awful place!") While in a state of Ihram, or Confusion as some folks know it, one should not fuck (unless on a romantic moonlit beach at night or in the back-seat of a car), murder a living thing (unless it's the fucking bug that keeps annoying everyone by buzzing around), swear (yeah, right, nobody pays any attention to that fucking rule), or fight (unless drunk or stoned).

Ihram is the name given to the special state in which Muslims live whilst on the pilgrimage, The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Ibrahim (Abraham). Pilgrims join processions of hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals: Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times about the Ka'bah, the cube-shaped building which acts as the Muslim direction of prayer, kisses the Black Stone in the corner of the Kaaba, runs back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drinks from the Zamzam Well, goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, and throws stones in a ritual Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the four day global festival of Eid al-Adha.

The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the three day global festival of Eid al-Adha. As of 2008, about three million pilgrims participate in this annual pilgrimage. Crowd-control techniques have become critical, and because of the large numbers of people, many of the rituals have become more stylized. It is not necessary to kiss the Black Stone, but merely to point at it on each circuit around the Kaaba. Throwing pebbles was done at large pillars, which for safety reasons in 2004 were changed to long walls with catch basins below to catch the stones. The slaughter of an animal can be done either personally, or by appointing someone else to do it, and so forth. Muslim historians refer to the time before prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) as Al-Jahiliyah, the "Days of Ignorance", during which the Kaaba contained hundreds of idols – totems of each of the tribes of the Arabian peninsula, with idols of pagan gods such as Hubal, Al-Lat, Uzza and Manat, and also some representing Jesus, and Mary. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) was known to regularly perform the Umrah, even before he began receiving revelations. Historically, Muslims would gather at various meeting points in other great cities, and then proceed en masse towards Mecca, in groups that could comprise tens of thousands of pilgrims. Two of the most famous meeting points were in Cairo and Damascus. In Cairo, the Sultan would stand atop a platform of the famous gate Bab Zuwayla, to officially watch the beginning of the annual pilgrimage. In 632 AD, when prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) led his followers from Medina to Mecca, it was the first Hajj to be performed by Muslims alone, and the only Hajj ever performed by Muhammad. He cleansed the Kaaba, removed all of the idols, and re-ordained the building as the house of God. It was from this point that the Hajj became one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
