Islam is a complete code of life, in which along with beliefs, manners, social relations and political affairs, it has given us a complete and comprehensive guide of rituals among which same are categorized as the most basic pillars of Islam. Hajj, the fifth and the last, is the only pillar among the fundamental pillar of Islam which requires both physical and financial sacrifices. Prayers and fasting are only physical worships and nothing is spent in their performance. Zakat is only physical worship; it does not require any physical labour. But in performing Hajj both physical and financial sacrifices are required.

The Holy Prophet said:
“Hajj which is free from sins and defects is rewarded with paradise”

Where the Holy prophet has announced the reward of Hajj he has also strictly warned of the consequences of not performing Hajj.

The Holy Prophet said:
“If a person is not hampered by any disease, real necessities or a tyrannical ruler and yet does not perform Hajj his death and a death of a Jew or a Christian are the same” (Tirmizi)

Pilgrims are the guests of God and they are titled as “sword of God”. Everyone offers his services to pilgrims as per his status. Saudi Arabia and every country plans to provide better services and facilities to pilgrims. Similarly, government of Pakistan also gives an opportunity to some private tour operators to provide their services and facilities as best as they can.
