| | |  Haj: Haj As Submission To The Almighty
The institution of Haj in Islam is quite extraordinary. Haj is the fifth among the five pillars of Islam. The other four are Kalimah, Namaz, Zakat and Roza. The word Haj means 'resolve' and in religious terms it refers to the resolve to visit a holy place. Believers from all over congregate at the holy city of Mecca and perform the rituals prescribed by Islam.

| | |  Haj: Pilgrimage to Kabah - Spirit of Sacrifice Over 4,000 years ago God asked Abraham to build the Kabah (house of worship) at Mecca and to call upon all people to make the pilgrimage to the House of God. Thus, it came to be obligatory for every Muslim to go for Haj at least once, provided good health and financial position permitted it. Over two million believers from all over the world gather every year in Mecca to perform this pious duty. The rites of Haj take about one week to complete, but the devout spend as many days as possible so that they may become spiritually enriched by the sacred atmosphere. All the acts and sites of Haj convey a spiritual message.

| | | | Haj: Encyclopedia II - Buraq - In art In literature and art, the buraq is often pictured as a beast with the face of a woman, or a creature described as being part eagle and part horse, in all probability, using the legend of Pegasus as inspiration.
Leon Uris's book, The Haj, describes the buraq as follows:
“[It] had the face of a woman, the tail of a peacock, and could gallop in a single stride as far as the eye could see.”

| | | | Haj: Encyclopedia II - Islamic world - Important organizations The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries includes many nations that are also in the Arab League. Although most oil sources on Earth are not in nations with Muslim majorities, the fully developed exporting regions are.
A politically motivated oil embargo in 1974 (to support Egypt and Syria in their 1973 war against Israel) had drastic economic and political consequences in the United States and Europe. Although such a move would have less impact today, it demonstrates the power of the Islamic world acting in concert, and the key role of religion and ethnicity in the politics ...

| | | | Haj: Encyclopedia II - Islamic world - Main denominations of Islam The two main denominations of Islam are the Sunni and Shia sects. The difference between them is primarily in terms of how the life of the ummah ("faithful") should be governed, and the role of the imam.
The overwhelming majority of Muslims in the world are Sunni.
The Shi'a are a majority in Iraq (60%) and in Iran (89%). A more strictly traditional Shia regime maintains power in Iran, although a nominally Sunni minority held political power in Iraq up until the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
There are other differences in Muslims practice their ...

| | | | Haj: Encyclopedia II - Islamic world - Islam in politics Many people in Islamic countries also see Islam manifested politically as Islamism. In democratic countries there is usually at least one Islamic party. Political Islam is powerful in all Muslim-majority countries. Islamic parties in Turkey, Pakistan and Algeria have taken power.

Some of these groups practice terrorism. According to US President Ge ...
