Brothers and Sisters! To perform Hajj become Farad (obligatory) when the            wealth of a Muslim exceeds Nisab (limit) set by the Sharia. So Muslims should watch out that if their
wealth exceeds Nisab (limit) and perform Hajj as soon as possible.

 

Brothers
and Sisters! Once Hajj becomes Farad (obligatory) then it has to be performed even though one may enter in the bracket of being poor i.e. his wealth has fallen below the Nisab (limit).
If he does not perform Hajj then he
will be accountable on the Day of Judgment.

 

Brothers and Sisters! The context of Hadith is that one who performs Hajj, all his sins are forgiven by Allah and he becomes like a new born baby.

 

The Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said: (nearest meaning)

 

The Mo’min who performs Hajj in this manner that there is
no transgression from Sharia, he becomes just as he comes out of the uterus of his mother.

 

Brothers and Sisters! Now let us
look how a Muslim can get closer to Allah and become like a new born baby.

 

Preparation

 

Brothers and Sisters! Every Muslim knows that one of the
pillars of Islam is to perform Hajj at Makkah in Saudi
Arabia at least once in his life time. In view of this fact he should make the following
preparation.

 

·      
Once the wealth has reached Nisab set by the Sharia then one should make an intention to perform Hajj.

 

·      
As per narration Blessings of Allah are showered upon Bait Ullah every moment directly
from Arsh (Throne) of
Allah as the Arsh is above the seventh Heaven exactly above Bait ullah. To absorb the Blessings of Allah one must prepare his body and soul pure and clean otherwise the Blessings of Allah will slip just like water slips if it poured on greasy pitcher

·      

To clean body and soul one should regularly
offer two Rakat Salat. Before the Salat is offered he should sit in seclusion and visualize all the sins he has committed i.e. deeds which are strictly prohibited by Sharia and if he has infringed the rights of other people. Thereafter he
should offer two Rakat Salat and repent about the sins he has committed and infringed the rights of others
and then beg forgiveness of Allah.

 

·      
Where he has infringed the rights of other people he should go to see them and ask to forgive him or accept compensation in return for forgiveness e.g. where the other person has suffered loss because of infringement of his rights.

 

·      
The context of Hadith is that Allah with
His (SWT) Grace forgives all the sins of Shaheed but the loan he has not repaid. On the Day of Judgment he will be accountable. Therefore he should pay all his loans.

 

·      
The wealth which shall be expended to perform Hajj must have been earned by Halal means. If he will perform Hajj with doubtful or Harm earnings the Hajj will not be accepted by Allah though the Farad shall
be discharged.

 

·      
Prepare himself to face any hardships which may come on the way to Makkah and also what he will come
across in Makkah.

 

·      
Learn about the
essentials of performing Hajj at every stage i.e.

 

o  
Recitation of Talbiha

 

o  
how to wear Ahram

 

o

Inalhamdah Wanamatah laka wal Mulk. La shareeka luk.

 

Here I am! At Your service, O Lord! Here I am! at
Your service, You have no partner. Here I am! at Your service. All the praise is Yours, so is the bounty, and to You belongs the dominion; there is no partner to You. Here I am! at Your service.
