"Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any obscenity or transgression...h

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful




"Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any obscenity or transgression shall return [free from sins] as he was on the day his mother gave birth to him." (Al-Bukhari)

A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet, "As jihad is the best deed, shouldn't we [women] make jihad?" The Prophet replied, "The best jihad for you [women] is a Hajj mabroor." `A'ishah later said, "I have been keen to regularly perform Hajj since I heard that from the Messenger of Allah" (agreed upon).

"The one striving in the cause of Allah and the one performing Hajj and the one performing `Umrah are all the delegation of Allah. He calls them and they respond to His call, and they ask Him and He answers their supplication." (Ibn Majah)

Day of `Arafat. The Prophet is reported to have said,

"There is no day on which Allah frees servants of His from Fire more than [those freed on] the Day of `Arafat. And, verily, He draws near and then proudly speaks about them [i.e. the pilgrims] before the angels, saying, 'What do these seek?'" (Muslim)


The Prophet also said,

"Verily, Allah proudly speaks about the people of `Arafat before the people of Heaven [i.e. angels], saying, 'Look to My servants: They have come to Me disheveled and dusty.'" (Al-Haithami and Al-Wadi`i)





The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:

"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:
Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
[Ahmad]
