In an annual universal conference,
Muslims are united on the same land to practice the same
rituals during Hajj. All, at the same exact day and on
the same exact land of Mount Arafat, they stand in
worship to attend the peak ceremony of the hajj ritual.
All united under the bond of
monotheism, they share the same direction of prayers,
the same time and land of ritual, and the same details
of practice. The hajj is a manifestation of the Islamic
creed reflected in the bondage of unity: one nation
worshipping One God, one land, one ritual, one direction
for prayers, all in one season.
What unites people in such a great
festival of worship each year is not their gender or
nationality, and not their wealth or poverty. Rather, it
is their creed and belief in One Merciful Creator of all
that exists.
