The president of the supreme council at World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought highlighted the unifying effects of Hajj pilgrimage as the major Islamic ceremony is in full swing.

Molavi Es’haq Madani, in an interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA), called Hajj as a key pillar of Islam similar in importance to Jihad (struggle in path of Almighty God).
 
He lauded Hajj pilgrimage as a unique ritual across the globe where people from different countries convene to attend the same spiritual ceremony in the same language as they are robed in same type of costume.
 
He added,” The pilgrims circle around the same structure and convene in the same plain (Arafat) to make the massive gathering.”
 
Molavi Es’haq Madani underlined the unifying glory that dominates the Hajj ceremony and injects particular spirituality to the gathering.
 
The president of the supreme council at World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought made the comments in an interview conducted on the eve of the major Islamic occasion, Hajj pilgrimage, as more than two million Muslims gather in the holy city of Mecca to perform the ceremony.
