Performing Hajj

Habibur Rashid Ismail, Chittagong
Hajj or the pilgrimage is the fourth basic 'ibadat'. It is obligatory only on those who can afford it and that too only once in a lifetime. Indeed the pilgrimage is a great ibadat. For unless a person really loves Allah and His Rasul, he or she would never go for such a noble trip. Also, the pilgrimage unites the Muslims of the world under the same umbrella of international fraternity.
