Virtues of Hajj Virtues of Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah) Author's Foreword In the past I have written a few booklets on Tablighi topics and, completely against expectations the response to these booklets have been so encouraging that I have been so surprised that many friends have found them to be beneficial. In my own humbleness, I never dreamt that so much benefit could have been derived from the words and pen of one who himself is not able to practice all that is preached. The reason for these benefits to others I can only attribute to the special help of my late uncle Maulana Muhammad Ilyas (May Allah be please with him) who has not only become known in every corner of India but all over the Islamic world as well, for his Tablighi missionary activities. Because of the loss or inspiration from him due to his death, I discontinued these series for four years, which should not have been done. The late Maulana encouraged me in his last days to compile two further books in the series. Firstly he desired a book on the virtues of business dealings and earning ones livelihood. A concise version of this was quickly produced by me for his perusal during his last days. Unfortunately, as a result of his grave illness, he could not read it. Secondly, he insisted on a book by me on 'Spending in the Way of Allah.' For the preparation of this latter booklet, Maulana time and again reminded me. I remember once when we were about to join Salaat behind an Imam after Takbeer just before Salaat had started, he said to me: "Do not forget the book." In spite of that, no chance has yet presented itself for writing of such a book. (This book has now been published under the title of 'Fazaail-e-Sadaqaat' in two parts). And whenever anybody reminded me of these works, my own inability and incompetence overcame me which prevented me to commence it. Often, when thinking of my late uncle, I have tried to commence the work, but for some reason or other it just did not materialize. The missionary work of my late uncle has been ably taken over by his son Maulana Yusuf (R.A), who being filled with the same desire to let Islam shine once more, had visited the Holy Land solely for the purpose of commencing the Tablighi activity in Hejaz from where Islam originally shone forth. His father too, insisted on this, holding the view that when this movement takes root there, among the children of the people who originally spread it, much can be achieved. During his tow campaigns in Hejaz, Maulana Yusuf noticed that a vast numbers of the pilgrims who gather there annually are well nigh completely unacquainted with the virtues and aadaab of Hajj. They seem to be unaware of the vast blessing of this great form of worship with the result that they do not return home with the feelings, the inspiration and enthusiasm for righteousness with which they should have returned. For this reason Maulana Yusuf insisted on me that a booklet with Ahadith and explanation on Hajj should be compiled to be put before the Ummah so that intending Hajees should set forth for Hajj prepared with the proper enthusiasm for those special spiritual inspiration as are required by them. It is hoped that when the proper condition for Hajj is created within the heart of the Hajjee, he shall have the desire to carry out the functions of the Deen more diligently. Further, when more and more such people performing Hajj in proper fashion are present, their intermingling with the Arabs will surely encourage the Arabs to have serious thoughts about Islam and working for Islam. Maulana Yusuf had for two years been advising me on the need for such a book, but in spite of my promises nothing had materialized. When Allah desires something to be accomplished, He prepares the way for it from His own side. Thus it had been my habit for it from His own side. Thus it has been my habit annually since the demise of Maulana Ilyas (May Allah have mercy on him) to spend the month of Ramadhan from the 29th Shaban to the 2nd Shawal in Nizamuddin, returning (to Saharanpur) on the 2nd Shawal. Having had to remain in Nizamuddin for some necessary work until of the booklet on Hajj and its virtues when on the night of Eid, the time dawned for loved ones to gather at the door of the Beloved (i.e. when the season of Hajj commenced) my longing to be at the Holy House in Mecca also became most intense. This usually happens to me annually from the dawn of Shawal to the month of Zilhijja. At such a time here in Nizamuddin on Wednesday the 3rd of Shawal 1366, I thus commenced this work for Allah's sake with full reliance on Him. It is my intention to prepare ten short chapters on various aspects of Hajj, which shall deal with: Chapter 1-Encouragement towards performing Hajj. Chapter 2 - Grave warnings for not performing Hajj. Chapter 3 - Enduring the inconveniences of the Hajj journey. Chapter 4 - The meaning of Hajj. Chapter 5 - The manner of performing Hajj. Chapter 6 - Behavior in Mecca and its virtues. Chapter 7 - On Umrah. Chapter 8 - Visiting the grave of Rasulullah Salaam. Chapter 9 - The Aadaab for the Ziarat. Chapter 10 - Behavior in Madinah and its virtues. The last chapter shall deal with the farewell Hajj of Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) and shall also include some incidents from the pilgrimage of some saintly devotees of Islam. Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlavi. Chapter one - Encouragement Towards Performing Hajj Many verses in the Holy Quran have been revealed in connection with rules of Hajj and its virtues. The book's of Hadith are also filled with traditions of Rasulullah Sal'am on the same topics. It is my humble intention to mention a few of these in this booklet. As far as possible I intend being as concise as possible because in these days readers do not have much time to devote to religious writings, and further, when a work is too lengthy the expense in printing as well as organizing such works become increased. It is so strange that for these beneficial matter people have no money but when money has to be spent for the cinema or for wedding receptions etc. even the poor find money. Fist we quote and discuss a few verses of the Holy Quran and thereafter a few Ahadith. Ayah Number One. "And proclaim the pilgrimage among men; they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways." (Surah Hajj - 27) Kaaba - The House of Allah There is a certain amount of difference of opinion whether Adam A.S. first built the Kaaba or whether the Kaaba was built prior to this by the Angels. However, some believe that the creation of the earth originated from the spot where the Kaaba now stands. Initially everything was covered in water. Then there appeared something in the shape of a bubble at that spot. Then the rest of the earth was spread out in all directions. When the deluge came in the time of Hazrat Nooh A.s. the spot was raised. Thereafter Hazrat Ebrahim A.S. and Hazrat Ismail A.S. built the Kaaba on a spot shown to them by Allah, the exact spot where it had been previously, as is described in the Ayah in the first juz of the Quran. In one Hadith we read: "When Allah the Almighty sent Hazrat Adam A.S. down to the earth from paradise, He also sent down His House and said: ' O Adam I am sending down with you My House, so perform tawaaf round it in the manner tawaaf is performed around My Throne; And pray to Me in its direction in the same manner as is being prayed in the direction of My Throne." Then when the deluge came during the time of Hazrat Nooh A.S. the House was lifted. Then the prophets used to perform tawaaf around that place (even though the House was not there). Allah thereafter revealed the spot to Hazrat Ebrahim A.S. and commanded him to build the House. (Targheeb - Munziri) In another Hadith it is stated: "When Hazrat Ebrahim A.S. completed the erection of the Kaaba he said: 'O Allah, I have completed Your Holy House.' Then Allah replied: 'O Hazrat Ebrahim, announce among mankind that they shall come for pilgrimage' Hazrat Ebrahim A.S inquired: 'O Allah, how shall my voice reach them?' and Allah replied; 'You will announce My command and I shall cause it to reach them.' Thereupon Hazrat Ebrahim A.S. called out to the world announcing the pilgrimage and everything on earth in the heavens heard it. (Some may feel that this is a bit far fetched, but we living in this age of the radio where one person's voice is caused to be heard in numerous lands, and television where something seen in one place is made to be seen in many lands at the same time) should not find this impossible to believe that the Creator of the inventors of radio and television should cause one Prophet's words to be heard in many places, According to another Hadith we learn that every person heard that voice and replied LABBAIK (I am present) the same cry uttered by the Hajjees whilst in ihraam.

It is this wisdom which flashed through my heart, as I reflected on 13th annual gathering of the Academy of Self Knowledge (ASK). I am ever-grateful for the opportunity of attending the past 12 ASK annual gath- erings of hearts, minds and souls. I yearned, year-after-year, for the next gathering. In this context, I was saddened by the possibility earlier in the year that I may not be availed such an opportunity, to attend the 2012 annual gathering under the title, Celebrating Life.

While the Qur'an is the Almighty's revelation, the Prophet's statements and actions, without any doubt, are also guided by the Almighty, and he cannot err: “Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed” (Qur'an, 53:3-4), hence the importance of taking the Sunnah (the Prophet's traditions and statements) very seriously.

  • Noor -I-Islam
    Islam - i - 2013 - ISLAM - I - He {ALLAH} is with you, wherever you are NOOR SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER Ahmadiyah Anjuman Isha’at [Lahore] , Canada Editor: Sadiq Noor - [email protected] Many reports by different companions of the Prophet, peace on him, speak of their initial feelings toward him, stating that they adopted a hostile attitude toward him before they even met him. They also say how such feelings evaporated on meeting him, and how their hate was replaced by a far more genuine feeling of love. When we examine such reports, we find that the Prophet, peace on him, did not do anything of personal nature to bring about such a change. Invariably, he would simply speak naturally, with genuine feeling, stating his mission clearly and truthfully, without mincing words. People would always recognize his truthfulness and his honesty. This is what attracted people to him, and they would soon realize that the message he advocated was the message of the truth. An unnamed man from Baladawiyyah narrates the story of his grandfather’s first meeting with the Prophet, peace on him, as he himself reported it. He states that he went to Madinah where he stopped at the valley, which he did not name. Most probably it was either Bathan or Al Aqeeq, which were the nearest valleys where market days were held. “I saw two men negotiating the sale of a single female goat. The buyer said to the seller: ‘Be good to me in this transaction.’ I thought to myself that this was probably the Hashemite man who has led people astray.
