Every year during the islamic month of Dhul AlHijah, many muslims come to Mecca to perform the Hajj at

He taught the people to worship Allah and to do good towards each other.He removed all the idols from the holy Kaaba and restored the house of Allah to it’s proper state.He did this about 1400 years ago. His teachings have spread through many years and many places, all the way to you, so that you and other muslims can carry on the beauty of islam.
