Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, and Allah SWT says that it must be done, just like many other Ibadahs. Every act of worship, or Ibadah, has a great reward, and the main point of all worship is to praise and please our only Lord and move up in the ranks of Jannah. Tawheed, Salah (namaz), and Hajj are the only pillars that remind you of Allah Almighty. The other two pillars, Roza (fasting) and Zakat, also remind you of those who can't do these things. As Allah Almighty made every Hajj ritual a way to remember Him, every pilgrim's action during the Customised Umrah Deals is a way to remember Allah SWT.

Hazrat Ayesha RA said, "Tawaf around the House, Sa'ey between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and the stoning of the Jamarat were only ordered so that Allah could be remembered."

Hazrat Ibrahim AS, Azar's son, worshipped the one Supreme Power that made the whole world, even though his father and most people of that time worshipped idols. They made the images themselves, called them gods, and then began to worship them. He didn't want to worship idols with his people, so he said no. He left town and sat alone for a while, thinking about his Creator. When he saw the sun and moon, he thought they might be gods because they are the strongest things, but he soon realised that they were made by a single person.

One day, Hazrat Ibrahim AS went to the temple, but no one was there because they were all at a ceremony. He broke the idols, but the biggest one was too big, so he hung the axe around its neck. Someone said that Hazrat Ibrahim did this, so they decided to kill him by setting him on fire. Then, when they threw him into the middle of a huge furnace, a miracle happened. The fire couldn't hurt him because Allah SWT put out the flames. He was safe as he walked out of the fire. He was sure that he should die as a martyr but never say anything bad about the Supreme Power.

He left his home and family and married Sarah, but they didn't have any children. Soon, Sarah told him that he should marry Hajra. He got married, and their son, Ismail, was born. Allah told them to move toward Makkah, so they did. They started living on a hilly area with no water. Hazrat Ismail started to cry because he was thirsty, so Bibi Hajra ran between the two hills Safa and Marwah looking for water to quench his thirst, but she couldn't find any. She was surprised to see a spring of water come up from under his foot, so she said ZamZam quickly. It shows how much the mother loves her kids. Allah SWT thought that what she did was so important that He made it a part of the Hajj and called it Sa'ey.

With the passing of time, the main goals of Hajj rituals changed. There were idols inside the holy Kabah, and there were paintings on the walls that didn't belong in a holy place like the Kabah. Men and women both walk around the Kabah naked at the same time, saying that this is how Allah SWT created them. Even they changed some things about Talbiyah. And they would whistle, clap, and blow horns during Tawaf. After killing animals, their blood was poured on the walls of the Kabah, and their bodies were hung from pillars. They sang, drank, did sexual things, and did other things that were wrong. All of this went on for a long time, but finally, Hazrat Ibrahim's prayers were answered. Holy Prophet SAWW was born in Makkah and began spreading the message of Tawheed. Because of what He did, Muslims were able to get the Kabah back, and it became the centre of worship for everyone.

Allah Almighty said that Hazrat Ibrahim AS would give up his only son Ismail for Allah SWT, even though he loved Ismail more than anything else. He told Ismail about the dream, and Ismail told him that he was willing to die. When Ismail got ready to be killed as a sacrifice, Allah SWT sent a lamb in his place. This event led to Qurbani, which is the sacrifice of Halal animals. In honour of Hazrat Ismail, Muslims kill animals as a sacrifice. Again, this shows that Hazrat Ismail had a strong faith.

The holy Kabah was built by Hazrat Ibrahim AS and Hazrat Ismail AS. Allah SWT said, "Remember that We made the House a place for men to gather and a safe place; take the Station of Ibrahim as a place to pray; and We made a deal with Ibrahim and Ismail that they would make My House holy for those who walk around it, use it as a safe place, bow, or get down on their knees in prayer there."

Each part of the pilgrimage has an important story behind it. Every Hajj ritual was made by Allah Almighty to reflect an important event. Pilgrims show their obedience to Allah SWT by going into the state of Ihram from Meeqat and crying out of Talbiyah (saying Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik during Tawaf). It means that Muslims should answer when their Lord calls them because He made them. On the 8th ZilHajj, pilgrims do these things. Then they went to Mina and stayed there for the night. Pilgrims say their five prayers, which are Duhr, Assar (of 8th ZilHajj), Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr (of 9th ZilHajj).

On the ninth day of ZilHajj, pilgrims got to Arafat. This is the most important part of Hajj because pilgrims pray the Duhr and Assar prayers at the same time. It's where the last sermon of the Holy Prophet SAWW was given. He SAWW talked about every part of life in this speech and made sure that the Muslim Ummah knew everything. At the site of Arafat, a sermon by the Holy Prophet SAWW is told to honour Him. Then they go back to Muzdalifah and pray Maghrib and Isha together before leaving before dawn.

On the 10th ZilHajj, people go back to Mina and throw stones at Jamarat. We think that the pilgrims throw the stones at Satan (the devil). Pilgrims go to Makkah to do Tawaf and Sa'ey. Animals are killed as sacrifices. Pilgrims are told to throw seven stones at each pillar on their 11th and 12th ZilHajj. Stones show that we only listen to Allah SWT.
