Abstract

The Hajj ceremony every year and the unrestrained and free presence of pilgrims in the land of revelation is a suitable ground for feeling the necessity of the responsibility of all Muslims in pursuing a single goal, which is to try to make people like God on earth, including trying to realize justice in Islamic societies. This article is in response to the question, "How does performing Hajj rites help to create Islamic solidarity?" It seeks to verify the validity of this hypothesis that "by understanding justice in Hajj rituals as a common value in authentic Islamic identity, seeking justice as a mediating mechanism can bring the connection and integration of Muslims" through a library study. And analyze it in a descriptive-analytical way. The findings of the research show that Hajj rites from Ihram to Ramie Jamrat and Qurbani are all aimed at projecting justice as a value and a criterion and mediating mechanism in the social life of humans to the masses of Muslims. In this annual meeting, it should be remembered that if justice is implemented in the society, it can expand the links in the creation of social cooperation in the Islamic world by building relationships in all areas.
