First: Hajj

The word “Hajj’ in Arabic means “heading to” or, “frequently heading to an entity that you glorify”.

In Sharee‘ah, Hajj means heading to Al-Masjid Al-Haram with a specific appearance, at a specific time to perform specific acts.

Hajj is one of the acts of worship that require both physical and financial sacrifices to be performed, and it has conditions, cornerstones, duties, and recommended acts. However, here we are trying to shed light on the great meanings behind all these things, as well as the immense benefits of Hajj. Of course, we cannot mention all the benefits of Hajj, and we will only refer briefly to some of them:

1-   Hijrah (emigration) to Allaah The Almighty and His Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: One of the meanings that is implied in the Hajj journey is emigration to Allaah The Almighty and His Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The Muslim leaves his money, children, family, work, and country in response to the commandment of His Lord hoping for His Reward and fearing His Punishment, as well as asking for His forgiveness, mercy and bounty. Allaah The Almighty Described the response of the Muslims to the call to this Hijrah Saying (what means): {And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -} [Quran 22:27]

The Muslims come from the four corners of the planet for the Sake of Allaah The Almighty alone, fleeing to Him: {So flee to Allaah...} [Quran 51:50], and implementing the Hadeeth in which the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, “…there is no resort and no deliverer from (hardships) except You”. However, the strange thing is that some people go to perform Hajj while inattentive to this meaning that is implied within that act of worship. It is strange to see a pilgrim with the signs of fatigue of the journey and emigration appearing on him, while he is unable to desert smoking cigarettes. If the pilgrim paid attention to the meaning of emigration in the Hajj, the first thing he would do is to desert sins, as “the emigrant is the one who emigrates from what Allaah Has Forbidden,” or “the emigrant is the one who emigrates from sins.” Neglecting this aspect will most likely deprive the pilgrim from tasting the sweetness of this meaning within this great act of worship.

Allaah The Almighty Says about Hijrah, which applies also to Hajj which is a form of Hijrah, (what means): {And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allaah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allaah} [Quran 4:100]

Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, “Whoever left for Hajj and then died before [performing it], will be granted the reward of the pilgrim until the Day of Judgment.”

Ath-Thahabi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, mentioned in As-Siyar:

Al-Haakim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said that he heard the two sons of Al-Mu’ammal ibn Al-Hasan saying, ‘Our grandfather spent three hundred thousand in the pilgrimage in which he died.’ Al-Haakim added, ‘I later accompanied them during the journey of Hajj and we visited the grave of their grandfather at Ath-Tha‘labiyyah. When we reached the grave, we found its tombstone reading: {And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allaah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allaah} [Quran 4:100]’”
