Hajj pilgrimage
Hajj pilgrimage

The Islamic Center of Spokane will hold an Eid ul Adha prayer service Friday at 9 a.m.

Eid ul Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, concludes hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. The date of hajj shifts each year, depending in the lunar calendar.

Globally Muslims observe Eid with community prayers and feast, even if they aren’t on hajj.

The pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, is the fifth pillar of Islam. Muslims who are financially and physically able are expected to make the hajj at least once in their lifetime.

One member of the Islamic Center, Iman Elmallah, is participating in the hajj this year.
