Before hajj becomes obligatory (II) Thursday, 14 October 2010 23:18 In the first part of this article, we started discussing the vital prerequisites for an acceptable hajj; those conditions that must be fulfilled before venturing into hajj. By now we have come to terms with the fact that without Islam, hajj is not only null and void, but is essentially not obligatory. Similarly, lack of maturity, deficiency of sanity and financial dearth to an individual intending pilgrim, have put to final rest his/her zeal in the performance of hajj. Today in sha Allah, we will conclude the fourth condition; financial, physical and security prerequisites into the rest of them. Bismillah! Before hajj becomes obligatory (I) Thursday, 07 October 2010 23:37 In the next weeks to come, in sha Allah, I will be discussing with you the fifth pillar of Islam; the Hajj. Alhamdu lillah, we have just finished fourth pillar; the fasting of the month of Ramadan few weeks ago. This goes to confirm to us the beauty and naturalness of Islam. It has also established to us the continuity of Islam in our everyday life. In few weeks to come, we will be entirely engaged in the fifth pillar of Islam; the hajj.

They are not expected to be moved by stories about any new miracles of Islam, nor gestated by simple and cheap heresies, tittle-tattle or mere confabulation, usually manufactured to test their intelligence or otherwise.

It is an auspicious occasion for the believers to renew and rejuvenate their commitment to their Maker and the Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. This dedication and pledge must be both outward and inward, such that a Muslim does not merely recites the Qur’an, offers more units of prayers and gives more charities, but he does so with cogent reflection, humility and attentiveness. |
