The first sight of Holy Kaaba, circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba, performing other ritual of pilgrimage is some thing out of this world. Pilgrims feels very calm, relaxed and satisfied by performing rites of pilgrimage and different acts of worship when they are in Makkah. Pilgrims drinks zamzam water from the blessed well of zamzam, which is the best water available in world. Pilgrims while performing Umrah walks and stays for many hours out in scorching heat to fulfil all the rituals of Umrah. We either living our lives in luxurious manner and we usually don’t walk this much but when a Muslim reaches in Makkah and perform all the rites and rituals he or she enjoy to earn more and more blessings because we do this for the sake of ALLAH Almighty and Muslim strengthen their connection with ALLAH Almighty by performing pilgrimage. When we look at the Holy Kaaba, for Muslims it’s not just a cube shaped building covering with black cloth, but Holy Kaaba is the House of ALLAH Almighty and very respectable for all Muslims. Performing Umrah is not just a physical activity to do but it is a sacred pilgrimage and our sincere intention and hearty involvement in performing each and every ritual is essential, by this we can earn the great blessing linked with sacred pilgrimage or else we will return back to our homes empty handed. When we are there we feel the religious importance of all the sacred sacred sites and sacred things like blessed water of zamzam, sacred Black stone (Hajr-e-Aswad). It is the fact that water of Zamzam sprang as a result of special Mercy of ALLAH Almighty and prayers of Bibi Hajra, Wife of Hazrat Ibraheem (AS). When Bibi Hajra was at the desert in scorching heat with Her Son Hazrat Ismaeel (AS) and She saw that His infant baby is thirsty, She prayed to ALLAH Almighty and ran seven times between the hills of safa and marwa in search for some water then ALLAH Almighty blessed Her with the water of Zamzam and till now many pilgrims drinks the water of Zamzam from Zamzam well.
