Haj: Couple of months ago he calls me in, okay?

I think you're being a little hard on him, Haj, frankly.

For a time, it seems, there was an effort to minimize this thing because of the haj.

If you're here immediately before, during or after the haj, don't miss it.

Haj Ahmad, his son, and two other gentlemen followed him.

The door closes, leaving Haj alone drifting round the room.

But Haj is musical, and he's humming to cheer himself up.

If Haj had drawn blood, it was appropriate that none be visible.

Note that getting a berth during the haj is virtually impossible.

Legend has it that he went on Haj (pilgrimage) 12 times.

It has 14 branches and operates health clinics during haj.

Haj, whom I continue to ignore, brings up the rear.

We walk home and listen to Haj being tortured.

He leaves tomorrow on a haj - a pilgrimage to Mecca.

In 1975 and 1977 he went on Haj.

This later became a well-known custom that is a part of Haj pilgrimage.

I render and we think about it, Haj deeply.

Haj has taken himself back to the gazebo, the scene of his supposed triumph.

Haj is only a couple of minutes overdue, but in my head he has kept me waiting several lifetimes.

Mr. Haj is trying not to cut any jobs.

Making the pilgrimage, or haj, is a central precept of Islam.

He has also completed the ritual pilgrimage to Mecca, the haj.

"That's today, Haj," he explains, with the tolerance of his years.

All eyes turn to Haj, my own included.

And Haj, after an opening display of defiance, was no stoic.

So we'd like to hear your stories about going on the Hajj.

After the Hajj of 655 things remained quiet for some time.

Being the last day of the Hajj, some will bring their luggage.

I would not care to begin my hajj in blood."

He was allowed to leave the country once to undertake the Hajj.

"The problem is that the concentrations of people at the hajj was too high," he said.

That still gave him twenty-four hours before the official start of the hajj.

The site has been the scene of most major accidents at the hajj in previous years.

Muslims must make the hajj at least once in their life if they can afford to do so.

Another 272 pilgrims died of natural causes during the hajj.

In all, about 2.5 million Muslims attended the hajj this year.

Also, three months is an exceptionally long time, much longer than what Hajj requires.

Curiously enough, he is also said to have performed the Hajj.

He was a widely traveled man and twice made the Hajj.

They might even say that the hajj is a place for worship, not a battlefield.

He had told me earlier that for anyone who studies ice, coming to Antarctica was like making the hajj.

"You can never predict the problems of the hajj," he sighed.

In addition, going on the hajj can serve as a form of repentance.

He died during the hajj and is buried in Istanbul.

At the hajj, each person would find a meaning.

The new Hajj, seeing an opportunity to make some money, promises to do so for 100 gold pieces.

Even the fighting had not stopped the Hajj, though.

Another way the Hajj generates income is through services to pilgrims.

He knew if he told anyone they would replace him before the hajj.

No wonder those who complete the hajj wear the honor proudly.
