                         Allah commands us to go for Hajj if we have the means, and when we are ready to go for Hajj, we say Labbaik   (meaning, I am ready to obey Your orders, O Allah). Allah also commands   us in the Holy Qur'an to send blessings and salutations on the Holy   Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam and what a pleasant surprise it is to find a salaat in Part 1 of Dalaail u'l Khairaat with the relevant verse (33:56) and the response of Labbaik as follows:

                      The Prophet Ibrahim builds the Kaaba and performs Hajj (1)
   
  The rites of the Hajj were laid down by Allah to   mark historic events in the life of Prophet Ibrahim, which show his   absolute and total submission to the will of Allah. Allah commanded the   Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), on one of his visits to see Haajar and   Ishmael, to build the House of God (the Holy Kaaba). With the help of   his son Ishmael, Ibrahim built the House of God on the ground where the   Kaaba stands to this day.
   
  The Archangel Gabriel brought from Paradise a   stone, known as the Black Stone (Al-Hajar Al-Aswad), which was set into   one corner of the Kaaba.
   
  Behold! We gave the siteTo Ibrahim, of the (Sacred) House,(Saying): "Associate not anything(In worship) with Me;And sanctify My HouseFor those who compass it roundOr stand upOr bow, or prostrate themselves(Therein in prayer).
   
  "And proclaim the PilgrimageAmong men: they will comeTo thee on foot and (mounted)On every kind of camel,Lean on account of journeysThrough deep and distantMountain highways;
   
  "That they may witnessThe benefits (provided ) for them,And celebrate the nameOf God, through the DaysAppointed, over the cattleWhich He has provided for them(For sacrifice): then eat yeThereof and feed the distressedOnes in want.
   
  "Then let them completeThe rites prescribedFor them, perform their vows,And (again) circumambulateThe Ancient House."

                      The Prophet Ibrahim builds the Kaaba and performs Hajj (2)
   
 
In the Holy Qur'an, the Kaaba is described as follows:
  The first House (of worship)Appointed for men was that at Bakka (Makkah)Full of blessingAnd of guidanceFor all kinds of beings.
Kaaba

  S.3: 96
  The starting point for the circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba is where Ibrahim, by the command of Allah, placed the Black Stone in the eastern corner of the Kaaba.
   
  In order to complete the upper part of the walls of the Kaaba, Ibrahim stood upon a large stone block which he moved along when each section was completed. When the Kaaba was finished, the large stone block was left outside the Kaaba, close to the eastern wall of the sanctuary. It became known as the Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Ibrahim).
   
  As constructed by Ibrahim and his son, the Kaaba was a roofless, rectangular building, with two doors at ground level for access and with a semi-circular back wall.
  Each year, Ibrahim returned to Makkah to perform the Hajj.

                      After Ibrahim
   
 

  Southern corner of Kaaba (Yamani corner)

  When Ishmael grew up, he married the daughter of the chief of the Banu Jurhum, a tribe which had settled in the Makkah valley.
   
  When Ibrahim died, Ishmael continued to perform Hajj each year and to look after the Kaaba.
  After the death of Ishmael, the Kaaba   came into the possession of the Banu Jurhum tribe. It remained with the   Banu Jurhum tribe for many centuries until the Khuza'ah tribe took it   over.
   
  Throughout this period the Kaaba   was vulnerable to flooding for it stood in a valley which, from time to   time, experienced heavy rainfall. One such flood virtually destroyed   the building.
   
  Seeing the Holy Kaaba   in a state of disrepair, Qusay bin Kilaab, of the Quraysh tribe,   rebuilt it, according to the original design but adding a roof to   protect it from the extremes of weather.   Qusay, who was born around 400 CE, was renowned for his wisdom. He   built the first "town hall" in the Arabian Peninsula where leaders of   the tribes could discuss and resolve political, social and commercial   issues. He also set out rules for the supply of food and water to the   pilgrims who came to Makkah, and he even persuaded the indigenous Arabs   to pay a tax towards their support.

                      Period of Idolatry
   
 

  Kaaba

  Over the centuries, the pure monotheism of Ibrahim was gradually diluted and debased and the Hajj rites as transmitted by Allah to Ibrahim became adulterated with pagan rites.
   
  In this way, the purity of   worship for God which Ibrahim had performed and passed to his first-born   son was eroded over the centuries until, by the time of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),   there was nothing much left and the darkness of paganism and idolatry   lay across the land. Matters could not be set right until the prayer was   answered:
   
  "Our Lord! Send amongst themA Messenger of their own,Who shall rehearse Thy SignsTo them and instruct themIn Scripture and Wisdom.And sanctify them:For Thou art the Exalted in Might,The Wise.

                      Upon Whom Is It Obligatory To Perform Hajj
  An adult Muslim of a sane mind,   an able body and having means to bear the expenses must perform this act   of worship once in his/her lifetime. There should be peace on the way   to Mecca and there should be no hindrance or restriction in traveling to   Mecca. Hajj is not obligatory for children, the sick, and those who are   unable to bear the expenses for Hajj.
