What does the Hajj symbolize?

We all have heard over the years that Hajj is an important component of the Islamic belief. However, a common question typically asked is what precisely does the Hajj symbolize? Well, the answer does not tell to one exact thing, but a number of things. These contain the following:
Hajj 2018
Re-enactment of the life experiences and trials faced by the Prophet Ibrahim-
There is no other example in the history of mankind that can parallel with the sacrifices that the Prophet Ibrahim made.
Lessons taught by the Holy Prophet PBUH-
The plain of Arafat is where the Holy Prophet delivered his last sermon. It is here that he preached the proclamation of God as well as announced the completion of his mission of Islam.
Day of Arafat
Concepts relating to the unity and equality of mankind-
This concept can also be reiterated as the greatest profound message of the Islamic religion. There is no superiority of one believer over the other, be it race, color, creed or social status.
Reminder for the Day of Judgment-
Performing Hajj brings a Muslim believer closer to his Lord. It reminds believers that all Muslims shall be brought forward in front of Allah and judged based on all the deeds they have indulged in throughout their lifetime.
