THE SPIRITUAL SECRETS OF HAJJ

Pilgrimage is a worship of an extraordinary nature, it is not just a physical worship or a religious one but it is an integrated system (of ibadah or worship) and mini view for human life, from life till death. It is an institution of imaan (faith), physical and spiritual which elevates servants to loftiest position and leads them to paradise (jannah) and houses them next to the righteous.

Pilgrimage has other benefits and aims that are invisible to the common people. It has in it religious benefits and in-depth meanings that can make a person closer to ALLAH Almighty more than himself.

Consecration (Ihraam):

Meanings of discipline and equality. The holy journey of hajj starts with wearing Ihram. It refines man’s trend of power and inspires him with discipline, control and keep him balance.

Circumambulation (tawaaf):

ALLAH Almighty prescribed Tawaaf or circumambulation around the house of ALLAH and makes it a prayer, for all humans to live with the prospects of worship and Prayer and its spirit. That house that ALLAH intended it to be a sign of unity among the people and a holy connection with ALLAH and not its physical importance of walls made up of stones.

Saaee:

For saaee between hills of Safaa and Marwa, it is a significant spiritual point for man to live with feeling aware that his steps should be directed towards good and positive places so that his pursuits will be in superior course, and abstaining from evil thinking and courses.

Arafaat and Mina. The secrets of reflection and meditation:

Mount Arafaat is a granite hill east of Makkah in the plain of Arafaat. Arafaat is a plain about 20 kilometres southeast of makkah Mount Arafat reaches about 70 metres in height and is also well-known as the Mount of Mercy (Jabal ar-Rehmat). According to the Islamic tradition, the hill is the site where the Prophet (PBUH) stood and delivered the last or Farewell Sermon to the Muslims who had accompanied Him for the pilgrimage Hajj.

On the 9th of the Dhu al-Hijjah pilgrims leave to Arafaat from Mina, for the most significant part of the Hajj. The Khutbah of pilgrimage Hajj is narrated and Zuhr namaz and Asar namaz are performed together. The pilgrims spend the entire day on the mountain to dua (supplicate) to ALLAH Almighty to forgive their sins and praying for their strength in the future.

Qurbani or Sacrifices:

ALLAH made the sacrifice a living sign of sacrifice and offer, as epitomized in the history of Hazrat Ibraheem (AS) and Hazrat Ismaeel (AS) both, when both of them surrendered themselves to ALLAH Almighty. This serves as an example that, sacrifice or qurbani is needed in everything that man desires to attain in human life at all times.
