What is Hajj?

It is Zilhij’s month. This month means the time for millions of pilgrims to unite in Mecca to complete the important and special Hajj worship. Millions of Muslims are currently assembling in the land of the holy word of maize. In groups and batches, people from different regions of the world go to the house of God, and they will explain a very elaborate monotheistic event in the shadow of the flag of monotheism. The great presence of the people in Hajj is the product of Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihissalam’s acceptance of the prayer, when Hazrat Ibrahim brought his son Ismail and his wife Hajra to this holy land and said to Heaven, God! I have my children settled, In this barren land near your esteemed home, my children! Allah! I have done this so that if they offer namaz, some people’s hearts can bend to them and give them livelihood with multiple kinds of fruits, perhaps they will be grateful to you.

The coherence of the teachings of Islam by the tendency of man is one of the characteristics which is the reason for the inclination towards truth and pious thoughts. This uniqueness is a sign of Islam being universal and immortal. On this basis, God has harmonized the laws of Islam with the tendency of man for all times. All the worships of Islam, including Hajj, fulfill the needs of man irrespective of the physical, spiritual, personal, and social needs of all times and in all times. Every worship of Islam has some mystery and the attainment of its sweet and valuable fruits is never possible by any other route than proper identification of these mysteries.

Hajj is also similar to worship. People from different regions of the world go to Mecca, bearing all kinds of problems and spending a lot of money to see the house of God and take off their ordinary clothes by appearing in a place called “Meeqat”. And wear special Hajj clothes called “ihram” and say mohabim and then go to Mecca. After that, they perform Hajj together. On reaching the holy city of Mecca, they worship at a place called Safa and Marwa. After that, some of their hair or nails are cut. After this, they go to the Chatila Maidan called Arafat. They stay there for half a day after which the Hajjists go towards Mashraul Haram. They spend the night there and then travel to Mina with the sunrise. In Mina, they return after a special form of worship and then revolve around the Kaaba. Then safa and Marva are performed and after performing tawaaf nesa, the rites of Hajj are concluded. In this way, Haji returns to their respective homes with the happiness of receiving divine happiness. Worship like Haj, in which the opportunity to attend is usually received only once in life, is limited only to the learned rites which after completion Haji returns to his country without any change? No, that’s not it. Many mysteries are hidden in the rituals of Hajj. Without paying any attention to the mysteries contained in this great worship, if one looks at the rituals performed for Hajj, then one may get the idea that what is the reason to bear so many difficulties and spend money and these What is the purpose of tasks? During the time of Imam Jafar Sadiq Alaihissalam, grandson of the Prophet Islam (s), a very adventurous monk named Ibne Abil Auja, one day came to the service of Imam Sadiq (A) and said that as long as you keep taking shelter of this stone and till the brick and Will you continue to worship this house made of stone and revolve around it? Imam Jafar Sadiq a. Referring to some of the mysteries of Kaabe’s revolutions, he said that this is the house through which God inspired his bandanas to worship so that on reaching this place he would test their worship. For this purpose, he inspired his bandanas to visit this house and express their respect for it and set this house as a prayer for the Namazis. The Holy Kaaba is the center of the attainment of God’s happiness and the path of repentance, so the one whose orders are to be obeyed and prevented by the forbidden works is the God who created us. It is therefore said that Hajj has an external form and an inner form. God is desirous of doing Haj in which Haji is lobbied by anyone other than him, that is, God, I should not accept your invitation and do not revolve around anyone other than him. The purpose of the rituals of Hajj is to meditate on the sacred life of great people like Hazrat Ibrahim, Hazrat Ismail, and Hazrat Whoever travels to this place is given the help of someone other than God One should be free from imagination so that, like excellent leaders like Hazrat Abraham and Hazrat Ismail, he can succeed in the test of God.

Hajj is like a camp for human self-construction in Islam, in which such services for a specified period are prescribed. Haj has a meaningful impact on human life as a worship. Some of the ways that remove the ego and pride of every human being to some degree are the rituals of Hajj. With the Allahum Labbak slogan, i.e. I accepted your invitation, O God, people traveling to the house of God are also prepared to display their respect in the bargah of the monastery in other places. Bringing Labbac to the word means achieving the spiritual willingness to always embrace

The rites of Hajj, thus, motivate humans to overcome their dependence on high human values ​​and materiality. The first condition of this human journey is the cleanliness of the heart, so the heart should be separated from everything except God. As long as one is surrounded by sins, one cannot perceive the sweetness of the one with God. One must resolve the distance from sins in order to be close to God. This is a condition of acceptance of Hajj. When daily activities surround a human being from all sides and hinder his spiritual flight towards highness and various needs create obstacles in the divine path like a chain, then Hajj is a suitable opportunity for a holy escape in an AC condition. It means migration from pride and fearlessness to God. On this basis, the pilgrimage to Hajj should be started with pure intention. For this spiritual journey the mind has to be freed from all the shackles. In this way, the sacraments of Hajj provide the conditions that one who visits the house of God changes from within. This is why we see that during Hajj one goes through a wide variety of situations and every moment he thinks of God. On every side he stays behind his markings so that he can satisfy his thirsty soul from the source of love with God.
