Brothers and Sisters! If Muslims cannot do Taw’aaf on the ground floor around Bait
Ullah i.e. the room made of stone, then they can go at the top floor of the Masjid Al – Haram and then complete seven rounds. In this way
one is not near Bait Ullah but he is moving around Bait Ullah well above the ground floor.

 

Brothers
and Sisters! Ulema
have derived that if Muslims are
sitting in a plane or helicopter and the plane or helicopters encircle around Bait Ullah in the air then Taw’aaf is accomplished although the Muslims were sitting in the plane or helicopter.

 

Brothers and Sisters! So
the object of
Taw’aaf is
to be closer to
Allah and not to the Bait Ullah made of stones.

 

Brothers and Sisters! In our day to day life Taw’aaf teaches us that to get closer to the authorities, parents and teachers
etc.etc. one should give them due respect in their absence likewise while doing Taw’aaf one gives due respect to Allah whom a human eye cannot see.

 

Brothers and Sisters! The history of emergence of the fountain of Zam Zam is as below:

 

·       Upon the behest of Allah Hazrat Ibrahim (PBUH) left His PBUH) wife Hazrat Hajira (RTU) and his newly born son Hazrat Isma’iel (PBUH) near the place where Bait Ullah is built.

 

·       When the food and water finished and Hazrat Isma’iel was thirsty Hazrat Hajira ran between hills Safa and Mar’wa seven times in the hope to find something.

 

·       While she was in hill Mar’wa she saw something creeping where Hazrat Isma’iel (PBUH) were lying.

 

·       Hazrat Hajira (RTU) rushed back thinking that this creeping thing will harm Her (RTU) son.

 

·       When she came to the place it was water emerging from the land where Hazrat Isma’iel (PBUH) was rubbing His (PBUH) heels.

 

·       Hazrat Hajira (RTU) shouted: Zam Zam. Brothers and Sisters!  Zam Zam means to stop. This is how the water is named Zam Zam.

 

Brothers and Sisters! Since that time the water is flowing from this fountain and Insha’allah! It will keep flowing until the Day of Resurrection.

 

Brothers and Sisters! A Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto  has made analysis of Abe Zam Zam. He has discovered that there is no water in the world like Abe Zam Zam. Dr Emoto has written a book:

 

The Hidden Messages in Water

 

Brothers and Sisters! The lesson in the Sae of Safa and Mar’wa is for the mankind that they should keep trying to look for the Bounties of Allah even though there are no resources in sight. Brothers and Sisters! Further lesson in Sae is that if one does not find first time then keep trying i.e. try try again.

 

Shaving Head

 

Brothers and Sisters! When a Muslim is in Ahram then he is not allowed to take bath or shower until Hajj is completed.

 

Brothers and Sisters! As the hair are not washed regularly and he was spending time in open field so all the dust was accumulating within his hair which can become cause of emergence of lice. So when the head is shaved and thereafter taken bath or shower it gets cleaned and there is no danger of any disease.

 

Brothers and Sisters! The lesson in shaving the head for the mankind is that now and then they should shave their heads to keep healthy.

 

Come Out of Ahram

 

Brothers and Sisters! After all the essentials of Hajj are performed then the Muslim comes out of Ahram. This means that any actions which were disallowed while he was in Ahram are to be dispenses with e.g. while he was in Ahram he could not mate with his wife. So when he is out of Ahram he can mate with his wife. When he is out of Ahram he can have shower, change clothes, and look for the Bounties of Allah i.e. live a normal life. In other words a mission was accomplished.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  The lesson coming out of Ahram is that in one’s day to day life he has a mission to accomplish. When he is on a mission he dispenses with many actions. So when the mission is accomplished, as he is tired and clothes get dirty, so he should have shower, change clothes and relax and enjoy with his family.

 

Dua’a at Multazim  

 

Brothers and Sisters! As per narrations when Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) performed Hajj He (SAW) used to cling to Multazim and make Dua’a to Allah with absolute humility.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  The lesson for mankind is that whenever one, makes Dua’a to Allah he should be humble and there should be humility in his representations along with sincerity of heart and mind.

 

Other Essentials of Hajj

 

Brothers and Sisters!  The other essentials consist of:

 

·       Makkah to Mina

 

·       Mina to Arafat

 

·       Arafat to Muzdalifa

 

·       Muzdalifa to Mina

 

Brothers and Sisters!  When Muslims are travelling back and forth from Makkah to Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa and Mina they are not required to anything special. All this time is expended in:

 

·       Dhikr (remembrance) of Allah

 

·       Repenting and begging forgiveness from Allah

 

·       Making Dua’as to Allah

 

Brothers and Sisters! The lesson in coming back and forth from Makkah to Mina is that in normal sphere of life one is going back and forth in search of Bounties of Allah so he should keep doing Dhikr of Allah, repenting and begging forgiveness of Allah and also making Dua’as to Allah.

 

Sacrifice    

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Not only Muslims who have performed Hajj but Muslims all over the world are under obligation to sacrifice lamb or cow or camel in the Path of Allah.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Under the light of Qur’an and Hadith the meat of the lamb should be distributed in three portions: one for poor people, one for relatives and one for oneself.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  The lesson in sacrifice of an animal is that in our day to day life one should look after the people in need of Bounties of Allah where for some reasons they are short of.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Brothers and Sisters! Allah is Great. In every Ibadaah (Submission) there are Hikmahs (prudence) of Allah where there are guidelines to expend day to day life. For example: Salat five times a day. While performing Salat one, stands, bends, prostrates and sits. If you make an analysis that in standing, bending, prostrating and sitting every joint of the body moves. So the lesson in performance of Salat is that one should keep exercising so the calories of food are burnt and become part of blood which will lead to a healthy life.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Although every Muslim may not be able to go for Hajj but he can learn a lesson from the essentials of Hajj for his day to day life.

 

VISIT TO MADINA   

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Madina is city where Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) migrated from Makkah and although the base of revival of Deen e Islam was made in Makkah but its promotion was spread from Madina to all over the world.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  For the revival of Islam the first thing which was done was building of a Masjid. Adjacent to Masjid were the Hujras (houses) of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) and His (SAW) wives.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  The Hujra where He (SAW) passed away is His (SAW) resting place.

 

Brothers and Sisters! Although it is not Essential of Hajj but Muslims are obliged to visit Madina and go to Rodha e Rasool to pay his respect and gratitude.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Please read link: No 2 Visit to Madina   to learn about the imperativeness of visit to Medina.
