Meaning: "And call the people to Hajj, and they will come to you on foot, and on the backs of lean camels, coming from all parts of the world."
2. Surah Al Hajj verse 29
ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوْا تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوْفُوْا نُذُوْرَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوْا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيْقِ
Meaning: "Then let them remove their impurities, complete their vows and circumambulate the old house."
3. Surah Al-Imran verse 97
فِيهِ ءَايَٰتٌۢ بَيِّنَٰتٌٌ مَّقَامُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلْبَيْتِ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱلْعَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Meaning: "There are clear signs, (among them) the station of Ibrahim. Whoever enters it (the House of Allah) is safe. And (among) the obligations of man towards Allah is to make the pilgrimage to the House of Allah, for those who are able to travel there. And whoever denies the obligation of Hajj, then know that Allah is the richest of all worlds."
4. Surah Al-Baqarah verse 196
وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلْحَجَّ وَٱلْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۖ وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا۟ رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۖ وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا۟ رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ ٱلْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُۥ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِۦٓ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِۦ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمْ فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِٱلْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى ٱلْحَجِّ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ ۚ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثََلَٰثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ ۗ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُ ۥ حَاضِرِى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ
Meaning: "And complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for the sake of Allah. If you are besieged (by enemies or sickness), then slaughter a sacrifice that is easily available, and do not shave your heads before the sacrifice reaches the place of slaughter. If any of you is sick or has a problem with his head (and he shaves it), then he must make a compensatory sacrifice, viz: fasting or giving charity or making a sacrifice. When you are secure, then whoever wishes to perform 'Umrah before Hajj (during the month of Hajj), he must offer a sacrifice that is easily available. But if he does not find (a sacrifice or is unable to afford it), then it is obligatory to fast three days during the pilgrimage and seven days (more) when you return. These are the ten perfect days. Such is the case for those whose families are not in the vicinity of the Sacred Mosque (those who are not residents of Makkah). And fear Allah and know that Allah is very severe in punishment."
5. Surah Al-Baqarah verse 200
فَاِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَّنَاسِكَُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ اٰبَاۤءَكُمْ اَوْ اَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا ۗ فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّقُوْلُ رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهٗ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ
Meaning: "When you have completed the Hajj, then remember Allah, as you mentioned your fathers, and even more than that. So among the people there are those who pray, "O our Lord, grant us (good) in this world," and in the Hereafter he will not get any share."
6. Surah Al-Ma'idah verse 95
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَقْتُلُوا الصَّيْدَ وَاَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌ ۗوَمَنْ قَتَلَهٗ مِنْكُمْ مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَۤاءٌ مِّثْلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ يَحْكُمُ بِهٖ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ هَدْيًاۢ بٰلِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ اَوْ كَفَّارَةٌ طَعَامُ مَسٰكِيْنَ اَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا لِّيَذُوْقَ وَبَالَ اَمْرِهٖ ۗعَفَا اللّٰهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ ۗوَمَنْ عَادَ فَيَنْتَقِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُ ۗوَالّٰهُ عَزِيْزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ
Meaning: "O you who believe! Do not kill game while you are in ihram (Hajj or Umrah). If any one of you kills it intentionally, then the penalty is to substitute for it an animal equal to the game he killed, according to the judgment of two just men among you, as a sacrifice brought to the Ka'bah, or to make expiation by feeding the poor, or by fasting, equal to the food expended, so that he may feel the evil of his deed. Allah has forgiven what is past. And whoever does it again, Allah will punish him. And Allah is Mighty, having (the power to) torment."
7. Surah Al-Ma'idah verse 97
جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِيٰمًا لِّلَّنَّاسِ وَالشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَالْهَدْيَ وَالْقَلَاۤىِٕدَ ۗذٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ
Meaning: "Allah has made the Ka'bah a sacred house where people gather. This is so that you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and that Allah is the Knower of all things."
