So, too, the Hajj rituals bind the Hajjis (pilgrims) together, and not just within the confines of that particular Hajj, but with all pilgrimages performed throughout the ages; the Hajj then becomes a connection between the Hajji
(pilgrim) and all those who have stood before him in the same place, wearing a similar dress and performing the same rituals.One can look at the experiences of Hajjis (pilgrims) throughout the centuries, and because of this continuity feel a shared experience with people from
