اكثر من 2.5 مليون حاج يؤدون شعائر الحج
Research has found that Muslims who go on pilgrimage return more open minded, the practice "increases belief in equality and harmony among ethnic groups and Islamic sects" as well as "peace and in equality and harmony among adherents of different religions."
For those not spending the week in Mecca, it's a time of special devotion. Muslim Matters wrote:
The season of the ten days of Dhul Hijjah is a festivity of worship. No other days of the year hold so many diverse acts of worship as done in such a short time, not even in Ramadan. And here is a list of some of what good deeds are done during these days in Makkah and elsewhere around the globe:
* Hajj and multiple Umrahs by millions of people.
* The sacrifice of the dunya and this world for the sake of attending the Hajj.
* The display of humility, humbleness and devotion in the actual rituals of Hajj.
* Tawaaf around the Ka'bah and Sai' between the two hills of Safa and Marwa.
* Abundance of Dhikr, the praise of Allah especially takbeer and tahleel and what other pilgrims say the most, Talbiyah.
* Fasting for the non-pilgrims.
* Being extra charitable.
* Offering the hadi'y and udhiyah or qur'ban the sacrifice of livestock and feeding the poor.
* The inclination towards repentance.
* The engagement in long du'a or supplications as a sign of humility and humbleness.
* Maintaining the prayers in the sacred sites al-Haram in Makkah and the Masjid of the Prophet in Madinah.
* The recitation of the Qur'an.

I'm scared to see the comments that are coming with this post. I am a Christian, but personally I have a great respect for the Muslim faith. Such devotion to God, many aspects of Islam would probably make people better Christians in terms of serving their God. And those of ANY faith who use religion to serve perverse and Ungodly activities, really do a disservice to their faiths.
