Hajj…. Is the holy spiritual journey to the house of

Allah “The Kaaba” as all believers are in deep

willingness to visit this holy place as Allah Almighty

gave that place an advantage over any other place all

over the world.

Allah Almighty Says: (Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for

mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for

Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns)* In it are manifest signs (for example),

the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains

security. And Hajj to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to

Allah, those who can afford the expenses and whoever denies Hajj then Allah

stands not in need of any of the 'Alamin.) {Sûrat Al-Imrân-verse96-97}.

The first House

appointed for

Mankind !!

Hajj includes all worship, in it there is Monotheism, prayer,

fasting ,Zakat, good behavior, supplication(center of worship) ,

patience, contemplation, thinking in the creation of Allah , Jihad

by the soul , spending money, Humility , purity and charity.

Human is doing all of that while he or she is directed to Allah by a

sincere heart.

All worship are

gathered in one

which is

The Hajj !!

The journey of pilgrimage is an easy way to acquire

Allah’s satisfaction as the pilgrim is considered to be a

guest in the house of Allah , so what do we expect from

Allah the most Generous?

The way to

Allah!!

Allah Almighty ordered Muslims to perform this worship once a life

as He Almighty says: (And Hajj to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty

that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the

expenses){Sûrat Al-Imrân-verse97}.

So , what are the secrets behind this wonderful journey and what

are the promised benefits from Allah Almighty who says: (That they

may witness things that are of benefit to them){Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse

28}.Is it a great journey or just an ordinary one?

Pilgrimage

is

A magnificent worship

The journey of pilgrimage starts:

1. From the (Mikat) where the pilgrim dress the clothes of pilgrimage(Ihram) as he

or she takes the intention to start this holy journey.

2. After arrival to (Mekka) the pilgrim starts circumambulation around Kaaba (by

kissing the black stone or referring to it by hand)for seven times.

3. Pilgrim starts walking between hills (Al-Safa) and (Al-Marwah) for seven times.

4. The pilgrim moves to (Mina) to stay the eighth day of (Dhu al-Hijjah).

5. After that the pilgrim moves to (Arafat) to stay the entire ninth day till sunset

and perform supplications to Allah Almighty.

6. Then the pilgrim moves to (AlMuzdalifah) where he or she stay the night.

7. After that the pilgrim moves another time to (Mina)to start (Ramy al-Jamarat) by

throwing the Satan by the stones in the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah and he

Slaughter the sacrifices and shave head for men (only a piece of hair for women).

8. At the same day pilgrim return back to (Kaaba) to start circumambulation.

9. The pilgrim return back again to (Mina )to throw the stones and stay there for

three days (11,12,13) of (Dhu al-Hijjah).

10. Pilgrim returns to (Kaaba)to perform (Tawaf AlWida) and drinks Zamzam water.

Phases of Hajj!!

The NLP scientists say that what makes human

exhausted is the tremendous amount of problems and

worries and the best way to rebalancing is to empty the

accumulated negative charges. How can it be done?

Hajj

is a process for

reprogramming

the soul !!

From 1400 years, religion of Islam guided us to the

right way to restore our balance and to empty all

accumulated negatives. We should not know what is

behind orders of Allah but when we know, our faith

increases…it is the magnificent worship of the Hajj.

Hajj ..

is the shortest

way to restore

the balance!!

The journey of Hajj has many hardships and fatigue but it is the

dream of all believers because of the tremendous peace of soul

that pilgrim gets after pilgrimage. What is the secret behind this

psychological peace of mind? the answer is simple as in that

worship and if believers performed it in the right way it empty the

negative charges and recharge the body with positive charges.

Hajj is the

dream of all

believers!!

Prophet Mohamed peace be up on him urges us to repeat

hajj if possible as he says:” keep performing hajj and

Umrah because both of them erase poverty and sins and

the only reward for the accepted hajj by Allah is entering

heaven ”{narrated by Ibn Hiban}.

This journey recharge power of the body so that it makes

people work harder which increase the livelihood and

eliminates poverty.

A method to increase

livelihood!!

The emitted power by the black stone is magnificent.

Hence, getting closer to or kissing that stone gives you a

huge power and you feel that immediately.

Maybe because of that the prophet used to start the

circumambulation around Kaaba by kissing ,touching or

referring to that stone.

Power

of

The black stone!!

From 1400 years , Allah Almighty told us about the gained benefits from

worship of Hajj as He Almighty says:(And proclaim to mankind the Hajj

(pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will

come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform

Hajj)*That they may witness things that are of benefit to them and mention

the Name of Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle that He has

provided for Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very

hard time ){Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse27-29}.

Unlimited benefits

The hajj is a treatment for many diseases as it restore the balance

of the body ,increase mental emotional and sexual activity and it

is a source of power. This journey helps you to erase the past bad

memories that prohibits you from performing worship in the

right way so it makes you back again as if you are a born baby.

Prophet Mohamed says :“ whoever performs the worship of hajj

without violation the rules of hajj like making sexual relation

(with wife or husband) and don’t make any sins will back from

hajj exactly as a baby in the day when he or she was begotten ”

A method For treatment !!

Steve Chandler one of the famous NlP scientists confirm that it

is important to imagine the target which you want to achieve

in your brain as it helps you to achieve that target. Hence,

when we imagine that Satan is in that area and indeed the

Satan is not there and when we throw him by stones, we

definitely will succeed to win the battle against that Satan and

we will defeat him in all battles .

Why do we throw

Satan by stones?

There are many bad habits in our life such as wrangling as it is a

waste of time and effort and many Neuro-Linguistic Programming

scientists advice us to reduce wrangling as possible.

One of them is DR. Richard Carlson who says: ”don’t wrangle as it

cause antagonizing with other people”.

Allah Almighty says concerning this matter: (For Hajj are the

months well known. If any one undertakes that duty therein, Let

there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the

Hajj.){Sûrat the cow-verse197}.

Isn’t a clear evidence that all rules of hajj are identical with today’s

advices by scientists and researchers?

In hajj Muslims don’t wrangle with each others

Everything in this universe is moving at the same direction from

left to right (Anti clock wise).

Electrons around nucleus, planets around sun, stars around galaxy

and pilgrims around the Kaaba, all of those are moving in the same

direction from left to right.

So that all universe are in harmony with each others.

Harmony with universe

Millions of stars are moving anti clock wise

around the center of a galaxy

Millions of pilgrims are moving anti clock

wise around the Kaaba

Allah Almighty has created seven heavens and of the

earth the like thereof (seven), days of the week are

seven, layers of the atom are seven ,number of doors of

hell are seven and pilgrims are circumambulating seven

times around Kaaba. Also the word Qiblah (prayer

direction) was repeated seven times in Qur’an……..

Glory to Allah!!!!

Secrets of number

seven

The word Qiblah was repeated seven times the same

as number of circumambulation around kaaba and

also the same as number of rounds between Al-Safa

and Al-Marwah…Glory to Allah!! !1.(The fools (pagans, hypocrites, and Jews) among the people will say,

"What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah [prayer direction

(towards Jerusalem)] to which they were used to face in prayer."){Sûrat Al-

Baqarah-verse142}.

2.(And We made the Qiblah which you used to face, only to test those who

followed the Messenger){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse143}.

3.(Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah that shall please you.){Sûrat Al-

Baqarah-verse144}.

4.(And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and

Christians) all the Ayat (proofs, evidences ,etc.), they would not follow

your Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145}.

5.(nor are you going to follow their Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145}.

6.(And they will not follow each other's Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-

verse145}.

7.(and make your dwellings Qiblah){Sûrat Yûnus-verse 87}.

In a published study by Harvard university , researchers

confirmed that walking in a moderate speed (4-5 K/H)reduce

the probability of infection by heart diseases by about 40%for

both men and women. Also the study confirmed that walking

enhance breathing system, immune system , eliminates

depression, prevent from Osteoporosis ,reduce diabetic and

control overweight of people.

Walking

is the best sport

Scientists confirm that walking helps in curing many chronic

diseases and it is the base in Geriatrics and prolonging life!!!

Physicians believe that long walking helps in curing colon

cancer,treatment of back pains and increase concentration. Allah

says about Hajj:(That they may witness things that are of benefit to

them.){Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse 28}. This verse was descended in a time

when people in Europe were believing that Hajj is a kind of torment

for people and there is no gained benefit from it.

Hajj is a cure for

heart diseases and diabetic!!

Scientists confirm that contemplation is a cure for worries and they

consider it as a magnificent strategy to reorganize the mechanism

of the body to eliminate all psychological disorders. Contemplation

helps body to sleep well and to enhance the ability of creativity and

problem solving. Also contemplation increases the process of

emitting some chemical matters in brain that prolong life.

People in Arafat stand and sit for hours while contemplating and

supplicating to Allah.

ARAFAT…

Place of

contemplation !!

The well of Zamzam is the oldest well in the world.

Scientifically, it was proved that the water of Zamzam is free from

viruses or bacteria and also it was proved that this water heals

from Incurable diseases and there are many cases of people who

were ill by diseases and medicine was unable to treat them but

when they came for Hajj or Umrah with a sincere intention and

after drinking from Zamzam and with supplication to Allah , He

Almighty treated them from these diseases.

The power of

Zamzam !!!

Zamzam water is rich with minerals and it is alkalinity water

so it reduce stomach’s Acidity and it can heal many diseases

especially rheumatic pains.

It is worth to remind you that millions of people drinks from

this well from hundreds of years, but water did not run out.

Isn’t a miracle?!

Zamzam

is

a treatment for

diseases

DR/ Chandler one of the NLP scientists say that you must

train your will the same as you train your muscles.

In the holy journey of Hajj there are many life experiments

as it contains travel, abstraction form all pleasures of life,

risks caused by crowed ,Austerity , asceticism and humiliation

for Allah Almighty.

The willpower!!!

Hajj is a good practical lesson for many things and also to

learn new things. Dr. Murphy one of the NLP scientists

says "try to learn a new thing every day so that you will

always have an active brain ”

In Hajj ,the pilgrim learns discipline concerning the

appointments as he or she must be at the right time to

perform all ceremonies of the Hajj.

In Hajj you

gets a lot of learning

Journey of Hajj is an

effective way to change

the surrounded

environment as pollution

in these days cause many

diseases such as cancer

and Asthma ,but this holy

journey makes people to

breath pure air and to

purify their lungs.

change…!!

People from different nationalities are meeting in one place for one purpose which

is performing this great worship and obeying Allah’s order in all phases of Hajj.

All of that provides them by great energy which is resulted from the spiritual

atmosphere and the peaceful attitude of people(no wrangling in Hajj) as we believe

that this huge group of people provides each other by a tremendous energy.

But how does it happen?

Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him gives us a nice example about that as he

says” the like of the good friend and the bad one as the one who holds perfume and

the one who blow in fire to purify iron from blots as when you sit beside the first

one you may buy from him a perfume or the good smell may stick on you and the

other one may burn your clothes or emits bad smell”{Narrated by Al Asharri}.

More energy….!!

“One of the prophet’s companions asked him: what is the best deeds?

Then the prophet answered: belief in Allah, Jihaad for the sake of

Allah and an accepted Hajj.” [narrated by Al- bukhari].

Performing ceremonies of Hajj in an appropriate way provide the

believer with a magnificent power which is resulted from

circumambulation around Kaaba, long walking between Al Saffa and

Al Marwa , prayers, throwing Satan by stones, stand in Arafat and

move between many places.

The best deeds….!!!

All people who performed that great worship confirm that

this holy journey renewed their spiritual activity and

increased morals. What a great benefits!!!!

The prophet peace be upon him says about this worship:

“and the only reward for the accepted hajj by Allah is

entering the heaven” [narrated by Al- bukhari].

Heaven is the reward
