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.

Tawaf of Kaaba

Tawaf means circling around something. Here it means moving around Kaaba seven times. Preparation: Pass the upper sheet of Ihram from underneath the right arm and put it on the left shoulder. This act bares the right shoulder and is known as Iztaba. Ablutions (vudu) is essential for tawaf. Reciting of Talbiyah is stopped when you reach Hajar-e- Aswad, the starting point of tawaf. Niyyah (Intention): Stand in front of Kaabah facing Hajar-e-Aswad (the Black Stone) in such a way that the whole Hajre-e-Aswad is on your right side. To achieve this end, you may get help from the black stripe on the floor. This stripe should be on your right side. Then without raising your hands make Niyyah (intention) for Tawaf Umrah: " O Allah, I perform Tawaf of Masjide Haram to please You. Make it easy for me and accept it from me."
