| Abstract | ||||
| This research aims to define the purposes of Hajj worship, and the goals and objectives of this social worship. This definition will benefit Muslims as individuals, and countries that send their people to perform this worship will also benefit from it. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where this season is being held, will also benefit from it. The Kingdom, which God Almighty has honored, both its government and people, with the responsibility of overseeing the Two Holy Mosques and the holy sites. This research also aims to introduce intellectuals of other religions and beliefs to the worship of Hajj among Muslims and that it has purposes, objectives and important social effects. Everyone can then measure the rest of the rituals of Islam on the worship of Hajj to discover the purposes and objectives of each worship and its positive effects on individuals and societies. The Hajj worship was specifically chosen to explore its social purposes for two reasons: The first: This worship has many and varied devotional rituals, and this is accompanied by great ambiguity in knowing its purposes and objectives. Second: The large number of people performing this worship in recent years. In most recent years, the number of pilgrims is no less than two million people every year. Therefore, exploring the purposes of this worship in general and the social purposes in particular is necessary and urgent, and the best way for this discovery is contemplation and reflection on the verses and stories of Hajj in the Holy Qur’an, as well as in the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), especially in his performance of the Farewell Pilgrimage, because the Qur’an calls on the human mind to study phenomena and facts to know their characteristics, discover the laws that govern them, understand their truth and latent wisdom, and realize their importance and their moral and spiritual implications for individuals and societies. Likewise, the Prophetic hadiths call for the same, which is a Practical Traditions of the Qur’an through the life and biography of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). | ||||
