Pilgrimage

1. As a Muslim please clear my confusion regarding Haj. An IMAM during the last Muharram was extoling the virtues of the "pilgrimage" to Karbala but he was not mentoining any thing about MECCA & MEDINA.As Haj,being the 5th pillar of Islam,is binding upon people with means to undertake the journey;it sends the wrong message & a number of people,me including, get mis guided by such utterances. I hope you enlighten me on this may the Almighty Allah bless you with infinite reward. A Seeker of truth 2. What is Masjid-e-Aqsa ? 3. No one should travel for the purpose of visiting (any mosque) except three. 4.
