Abstract: The institution of Hajj as one of the pillars of Islam has a lot of significance to the Muslims. Both the Qur’an and Sunnah are explicit on the obligation of hajj on those who have satisfied all the necessary legal pre-requisites. We hope to delve on what significance the hajj holds for the Muslims and how it stands as a symbol of Muslim Unity. There are also some textual injunctions on the necessity for Muslim unity and some discussions
on the current challenges threatening the unity of the Muslims.
Key words: Hajj, Significance, Muslim, Unity
