Quran says (Meaning English translation):
"And (remember) when We showed Ibrahim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka'bah at Makkah or Mecca) (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, [La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism) Islamic Monotheism], and sanctify My House (the Ka'bah) for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allah), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.);And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj)." (22:26-27)
Hajj has a significant impact on the Islamic community because this practice strengthens the spirit of unity between each person toward one another and brings equality amongst the pilgrims no matter what race, colour or gender they are because once a pilgrim is on Hajj all that matters is the Tawid (oneness) of Allah.
It is important because it is one of the pillars of Islam, the prophets did it, and it says in the Quran and Hadiths. The benefits are many. You will have a clean slate(no bad deeds) as if you were a new born baby. You will become a better muslim. And you will see what Islam is really all about.
