Hajj, the annual pilgrimage, is one of the five pillars of Islam. This year’s pilgrimage is about to end as Muslims across the World throng Mount Arafat, a place where Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) gave his last sermon. The festival Eid al-Adha marks the end of hajj and on this occasion Muslims sacrifice a Halal animal, which is then distributed among poor people as well. Also Read- Over two million Muslims throng Mount Arafat as Haj reaches climax The Hajj ritual has been going on for centuries and has gone through various transitions. However, the basic rituals remain same. Here are some of the rare photographs from National Geographic Magazine, dated July 1953, which tell us how the Hajj was performed way back then.

Not everyone those days would travel by air. It was limited to those who could afford.

ProfessorPeter:
What is satan doing in holy land? Is he also a pilgrim? Why stoning him? Why is it that during stonnig Muslims must die? Like today, Satan lauched a reprisal and about 800people died? Don't you think you should leave satan alone?

I don't even know what to say, your comment is not funny but i cant stop laughing.
