Does God expect believers to make a pilgrimage to a holy place at least once in their lifetime? (Al-Haj)

Bible: No       Qur'an: Yes

Matthew 24:24-26 – 26 if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth.

John 4:19-24 – 21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 24. God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


Al-Baqarah 2:196 – Perform the Greater and the Lesser Pilgrimage (Al-Haj and ‘Umra) for Allah…

Ali 'Imran 3:97 – And pilgrimage to the House is a duty to Allah for mankind, for all who are able to make the journey.
