Abstract

This article illustrates one of the five Pillars of Islam: that of the pilgrimage to the Mecca, which has to be undertaken by every Muslim at least once in a lifetime. The analysis considers in particular those Quran verses referring to this obligation which, together with the declaration of faith, the daily prayers, alms-giving and fasting, every Muslim must follow. The study reports both the main practices and rituals concerning the so called short-pilgrimage, consisting in the visit to Mecca, and the real pilgrimage which, beside a visit to the holy city, implies a series of rites and purity conditions which have to be respected by the pilgrim.
