5. The pilgrimage to Mecca
“Most
surely the first house appointed for men is the one at Mekka, blessed and a
guidance for the nations. In it are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim,
and whoever enters it shall be secure, and pilgrimage to the House is incumbent
upon men for the sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the
journey to it.” (Surah 3,96-97)
