For those Muslims are able to make the journey to Makkah, the hajj is the peak of their religious life. Although Makkah is always filled with visitors. The actual rites and prayers take place at the sacred Ka'ba in Mecca and at nearby locations. Muslims associate the origin of the Hajj and the founding of the Ka'ba with the prophet Abraham.
Peace is the dominant theme.
Peace with Allah, with one's soul, with one another, with all living creatures. To disturb the peace of anyone or any creature in any shape or form is strictly prohibited. Muslims from all walks of life, from every corner of the globe assemble in in response to the call of Allah. There is no royalty, but there is loyalty of all to Allah, the Creator. It is also to remember the great assembly of the Day of Judgement when people will stand equal before Allah.
