Muslims all over the world are one community.They have the same belief.They face towards one object in their daily prayers.This object is Ka'bah in Mecca, in Arabia.
Ka'bah is centre of Islam.Muslims visit Ka'bah at least once if one can afford it.It means pilgrimage.Poor, crippled and paralysed people aren't obliged to go on pilgrimage.
Muslims gather in Mecca in the 12th month of Islamic Calendar.They worship to Allah.This special worship lasts for several days.
In this gathering the Muslims pay visits and walk around the Ka'bah.Also, they stay in plains of Mount Arafat.
Muslims join together on the basis of Islam.Color or race isn't important for Muslims.The pilgrimage brings Muslims of all countries, colors and races to one place.This strengthens the spirit of unitiy, equality and brotherhood.
