HAJJ TRAINING CAMP - (QARI RIZWAN KHAN)

What is Hajj?

The literal translation of Hajj is ‘to travel to’ and ‘to intend.’Muslims travel to Makkah with the intention of seeing the Holy Ka’aba and that is why it is called Hajj.
In Islamic terminology, Hajj means to wear an Ehram and perform certain actions like Tawaf of the Ka’aba and be in certain places (‘Arafat etc) on certain days to perform specific worships.

Order to Perform Hajj

In relation to the obligatory nature of Hajj, Allah Almighty states in the Holy Qur’an:
“...and performing the Hajj (pilgrimage) of this house, for the sake of Allah, is a duty upon mankind...”
(Surah Aal e Imran Verse 97)

The fact that Hajj is obligatory (Fard) is made clear by this verse and from it we can also see that one who denies this is an infidel and non-believer. The person who has the means but does not perform Hajj is a great sinner as is made evident in a Hadith narrated by Hazrat ‘Abdullah Ibne ‘Umar Ä who states that RasoolAllah À said,

“The person who has the means but does not perform Hajj will have the word ‘Kaafir’ (infidel) written on his
forehead on the day of Judgement.”
 (Tafseer Ibne Abi Haatim Vol 14 Page 68)

Hajj is compulsory only once in a lifetime for those who are able to afford it. After fulfilling the Fard Hajj a person can perform as many voluntary (Nafli) Pilgrimages as he likes. Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti  narrates a Hadith in his book Durr al Mansoor that when this verse was revealed a person asked RasoolAllah À , “Is Hajj compulsory every year?” Upon being asked this RasoolAllah À replied:

“By Him in Whose control is my life! If I were to say yes then it would be compulsory each year. And if it is
compulsory each year then you will not be able to perform it and if you do not perform it then you will be
ungrateful. Therefore do not ask questions unnecessarily because the people before you were destroyed on account of asking their Prophets unnecessary questions and creating divisions amongst themselves. When I give you the order to do anything, do it as much as you are able to and when I order you to stay away from anything then stay away from it.”
(Durral Mansoor Volume 2 Page 390)

Where this Hadith reinforces the fact that Hajj is compulsory once in a lifetime it also proves that Allah Almighty granted His Beloved Prophet À such authority that if he stated something was allowed (Halal) it would become allowed and if he forbade anything it would become forbidden (Haraam).
Hajj for Allah’s Pleasure Every action is dependent on its intention. The level of sincerity and firmness of intention will determine how much rewards a person will receive for his deeds. When performing Hajj the only intention should be to obtain the Pleasure of Allah Almighty as He Himself mentions in the Qur’an:

“...and performing the Hajj (pilgrimage) of this house, for the sake of Allah, is a duty upon mankind...” (Surah Aal e Imran Verse 97)

If a person has the means and leaves for Hajj then it is essential for him to remember the words ‘for the
sake of Allah.’ This means that Hajj should be performed solely for the Pleasure of Allah Almighty and not for show or fame. The only aim should be that performing Hajj will allow me to obtain the Pleasure of Allah Almighty.
