Hajj is the fifth Pillar of Islam. It started in the days of Hazrat Abraham (AS). Most of the actions and activities are in the memory of Hazrat Abraham (AS). The sacrifice reminds the Muslims how Hazrat Abraham (AS) got ready to sacrifice his son Hazrat Ismaieel (AS). It teaches the Muslims to be ready to sacrifice every thing in the way of Almighty Allah.
