Introduction to Hajj - the fifth pillar of Islam
Beginning with a quotation from the Qur'an about Mecca as the first house of worship, we see pilgrims arriving in Mecca and wearing their ihram clothes. The purpose of ihram (purity, unity and equality) is explained as well as the expectations while in ihram (peace, humility and patience). The pilgrim's prayer, the Talbiyah, is explained and the Kaaba in the Masjid Al-Haram is shown.
