More than 5,000 will leave the country on Friday to Mecca, Saudi Arabia for the celebration of Hajj.
They will be joining over three million Islams from across the world at the Holy City for the annual pilgrimage.
They will walk around Islam's most sacred site, the Kaaba after which they will participate in a series of rituals that fosters unity and humility among Islams.
These celebrations are held every twelfth and final month according to the Islamic calendar. This month is usually called the month of Dhu al Hijja.
Many people cleanse themselves of different sins during this month and strengthen their faith. It also allows one to focus on the inner self and forget the worldly things.
“The festival is celebrated for three days where Muslims slaughter livestock and distribute the meat to the poor. Muslims across the world imitate this act in order to renew their remembrance of the sacrifice of Prophet Abraham and as a symbol of their willingness to sacrifice all they desire to please God. Let it be a true sacrifice, not just a slaughter,” said Khider Adam of Adams Masjid Committee.
According to the Arabs, the word Hajj means "to intend a journey." This is why every year Islams across the world make a journey to Mecca. Everyone is expected to make thing journey at least once in their lifetime.
Hajj originated from prophet Ibrahim and Ishmael.
Muslims believe God tested Ibrahim's faith by ordering him to sacrifice his son, Ismael. Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice Ismael until when God provided a goat for him.
Hajj is celebrated for three days. Its final day is celebrated to commemorate Ibrahim's test of faith by God.
