Assalamu 'aleikum (peace be upon you).
Muslims prepare for Hajj (pilgrimage) and Eid ul Adha (Eid of Sacrifice). Hajj or pilgrimage means visiting the Sacred House of God Almighty, the Holy Ka `bah, the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is obligatory once in the lifetime every adult Muslim, male or female, who is mentally, physically and financially able to reach the holy city of Mecca.
Almighty Allah (God) says in the Quran: "And pilgrimage to the House (Kaba` h) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses.''
Hajj is a collective duty Santo . It contains all kinds of religious, physical, financial and spiritual. This is a training and upgrading for Muslims. Thousands of American Muslims are also going to make the pilgrimage. Muslims around the world realize this great act of worship each year . More than 3 million Muslims perform this religious obligation together. Practically demonstrate their loyalty, devotion, dedication, sincerity and love for his Lord and Creator, God Almighty. This great event of Islam, also reminds us of the history of Islam and the farewell sermon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). It was the 10 th year of the Hegira, 9 Zulhijjah, on Friday in the Valley of Arafat, the last messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had given the universal message of Divine Human Directions and the Charter of the formula of unity and brotherhood for the world peace. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), provided humanity a comprehensive, justified, balanced, successful modrate applicable and Holy Everlasting World Order. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was addressing a hundred thousand and twenty-four companions (Sahabah). He said: O people, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah alone, praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, pay zakat (poor due), perform Hajj if you can afford, (if you believe and practice the five pillars of Islam) will enter the Jannah (Paradise), with security and peace.
Allah Almighty says in His Holy Book, Men! We created you from a single (pair) of male and female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other not (they hate each other). In truth, the noblest and most honorable of you with Allah is the most righteous of you. Verily, Allah is Knower, Aware.''(49:12)
He said,''Your Lord is One, Allah the Almighty, and his father is one, the Prophet Adam, No Arab is superior to then non-Arab or non-Arabs in Arab, Black on white, white on black, except Taqwa (God fearing, piety). He strongly prohibited usury and adultery, interest ...
said to be good to their wives, treat them well employees, respect for life, wealth and honor of Muslims. As you said in this respect and honor the Holy City, The holy month
And Santo today as sacred, so regard the life, property and honor of every Muslim as a sacred duty. Return the goods entrusted to their rightful owners. Hurt anyone so no one can hurt you.
Islam and the Prophet of Islam (peace and blessing of God upon him ne) condemning racism and hatred. It delivered the message of love, compassion, respect, caring, honesty, humanity, and the Unity and Brotherhood.
Can we imagine for a moment that people of all nationalities, race, color and condition are the life and worship together without any fighting, hatred, violence, conflicts or problems? What is comman in them? The power that united them? That is the benefit of kalimah, Iman, Faith & True Belief that created a World Community.This is the outstanding advantage of being the follower (ummatee) the greatest leader of mankind,
& Best Creation of God, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah ne upon him). We see a practical demonstration of the equation, unity, discipline and brotherhood on the occasion of Hajj. All the believers (Muslims) are wearing the same dress (Ihram), their actions are the same, are praying together, living together, move together, their object is one, their goal is one, their mission is, your goal is, language is the same, its motto is the same, they are singing the same words, Labbaik
Allahumma Labbaik ... ... .. Allah, we are there to serve and worship You alone. We present you do not have a partner, we are present, no doubt, all praise, blessings, and ownership belongs to you, you have no partner.''
The fate of Haji (Pilgrims) to perform all Manasik according to the Tradition of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah ne upon him). All tested rituals of Hajj the concept and Aqeeda (creed) of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. Also visit the tomb of his Holy Master Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah ne upon him) in the City of Medina, as any Muslim who makes this visit will be his Intercession (Shaafa'ah). Greet and salute him with the utmost respect and love. They are so humble and respectful. This is the climax of his emotions and satisfaction. In fact, words are always unable to express the feelings and experiences.
There are many hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, which highlights the merit of Hajj. Can be summarized in these words, Hajj removes all sins, accepted the reward for Hajj is Paradise, again Haji and new baby, your Dua accepted, etc
This is the time for us to remember our duties. We must never forget that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah ne upon him) has given an important right in the latter part of his farewell sermon. He said take these words to those who are not here today. This is a great responsibility on our shoulders. Lets promise to do our duty, work for humanity, the message of love, peace and care to the world. Allah bless you all. Amin. Maqsood Ahmed Qadri Imam
