obedience to Allah's commands.
2-To be grateful
to Allah for His Graces and Favours on us, such as health, wealth and children.
3-To glorify
Allah by visiting and making Tawaf (going around) His Sacred House,
Al-Ka'bah.
4-(Al-Ka'bah
is the first House built on earth for worshiping Allah, which Ibrahim -The
Friend- and his son Isma'il erected by the instruction of Allah.)
5-To pray at
Al-Ka'bah, which is the Qiblah (direction) to which all Muslims turn their
faces in the five daily prayers.
6-To visit
and stand in devotion to Allah at the Sacred Mountains such as 'Arafat
Mount. There, we celebrate the praises of Allah, purify our souls and repent
of all sins.

the places where Propht Muhammad -Alayhi s-Salam- was born, Brought up,
received the Divine Message, suffered and struggled for spreading the light
of Allah.
8-To meet our
Muslim brethren coming from all countries, and to see the actualization
of brotherhood, equality, cooperation and love among Muslims regardless
of their difference in nationality, colour, standard of living and other
worldly matters. To see the universality of Islam.
9-To practise
patience, sacrifice, endurance, simplicity and other spiritual capacities
we are in urgent need of.
10-To come
back cleaned of our sins, so as to start a new page in our life, hoping
to keep it free from sins until the end of life, so that we may be accepted
and well rewarded by Allah in the Hereafter.
