  1. These pillars symbolizes faith, devotion, hardship and gratitude. There are no apparent differences in the different groups but differences do exist by the mere fact that certain acts are accomplished by some and not by others.

  2. Assalam-O-Alaikum
    Allah has made it obligatory for all the Muslims to perform Hajj at-least once in their lifetime. As mentioned by Allah in the holy Quran “And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither” (Aal Imran 3:97).
