4 And complete the Hajj & Umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then (offer) what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached it's place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head (making shaving necessary must offer) a ransom of fasting (three days) or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then who performs 'Umrah (during the Hajj months) followed by Hajj (offers) what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find (or afford such an animal) - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned (home). Those are ten complete (days). This is for those whose family is not in the area of Al-Masjid Al-Alharam. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in penalty." {Al Baqarah 2: 196}

10 THE VIRTUES AND BENEFITS OF HAJJ AND UMRAH In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful Allah (swt) says: And complete the Hajj and Umrah in the service of Allah (Al Baqarah, 196) Nabi (saw) has stated in a hadith: The performance of Hajj and Umrah increase a person s life span and eradicates poverty and sins just as rust is removed from the iron when placed in the furnace. (Targhib) For this very same reason Imam An-Nawawi (rah) has written that if Allah (swt) grants the ability and guidance to a servant of His, it is Mustahab (preferred) to perform umrah frequently. (Sharah Manasik) Hazrat Amar ibn Abassa (ra) relates: Rasulullah (saw) stated that the best of deeds is the performance of Hajj or Umrah. (Musnad Ahmad) It is also related in a hadith: Umrah is the lesser Haj. (Duri Manzoor) Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that Rasulullah (saw) stated: One Umrah is expiation for the sins committed between that and the previous Umrah (Bukhari/Muslim) Meaning that the performance of one Umrah is the means of forgiving the sins and faults that may have been committed by an individual between that Umrah and the previous one. Allah (swt) has determined for his servants the fact that Hajj can only be performed at its specified time, in the particular days of Dhil Hijjah. It is not possible for one to perform the rites of Hajj outside this time in any way, shape or form. However, Allah (swt) has blessed His servants with the fact that, aside from the 5 days of Hajj, there is no restriction on the performance of Umrah throughout the year. It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (ra) Rasulullah (saw) stated: The performers of Hajj and Umrah are guests of Allah (swt), if they seek something from Him, He will grant them, if they seek forgiveness He will forgive them. (Ibn Majah) In another hadith it is related: The performers of Hajj & Umrah are the special guests of Allah (swt), whatever they ask for they are granted and what they pray for it is granted to them and what they spend of they are rewarded for it. They are granted a recompense of 1,000,000 dirhams for the sake of 1 dirham spent. (Targhib) It is for this very reason that we should, in the spare time that we have, endeavour to take our families to the blessed House of Allah (swt) and perform Umrah, stay in the blessed vicinity of the Haramain Sharifain and make it a means of attaching ourselves to Allah (swt) and his Prophet (saw), which is the foundation of our deen. It is with these trips that one s attention is directed towards the Akhirah and children are given the motivation to do good deeds and strive to improve their understanding of deen. It is however unfortunate that in this day and age, due to not being aware of the blessings of such actions as Umrah, we prefer to take our families to the seaside where there is nudity and immodesty. The viewing of which removes hayah (modesty & bashfulness) from our wives, children and loved ones. My friends, take heed, that those for whom you are responsible, who you take to/allow to go to places of immodesty, it is a right upon you that you teach them correct manners and etiquettes, in accordance with the Qur an & Sunnah. The propagation and calling towards avenues other that those which are permitted in Shariah is against the orders of Allah (swt) and the teachings of his final Messenger (saw). Allamah Mahmood Aalosi Baghdadi (rah) has related a hadith in his book: On the day of Qiyamah, a few people (on whom the decision of Jahannum will be manifest) will be in such a state that by looking at them, the others will say these were those who did great feats of worship, but their loved ones devoured their deeds. (Roohul Ma ani) May Allah (swt) protect our Iman and grant us the guidance to do good deeds, Aameen Al Kauthar 08

28 WHY VISIT AQSA There are many reasons why Muslims should make a sincere intention and their best efforts to visit Al Masjid Al Aqsa, below are a few. 1 Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us that we should only undertake a special journey to one of three Mosques; Al Masjid Al Haram in Makkah, Al Masjid An-Nabawi in Madinah, and Al Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem. In addition prayer in each of these blessed Masaajid are multiplied in virtue, with one Salah in Al Masjid Al Aqsa receiving at least 500 times the reward of Salah elsewhere. 2 Al Masjid Al Aqsa has a very special status for Muslims because of its own unique history, including being:the first qibla in Islam. 3 The second place of worship built in Islam (built 40 years after Kaaba). 4 The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) travelled to on the night of Isra; The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) led all the other Prophets in prayer. The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) ascended during the Miraj. 5 A place mentioned in the Quran as being blessed and holy, on numerous occasions. 26

34 Surah-al-Hajj (27) 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).

35 A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO HAJJ By Dr Khalid Khan Is Hajj obligatory on me? Can I delay my Hajj for future? The provision for Hajj includes: Will my Hajj be accepted? The conditions for Hajj to be accepted are: And Hajj to the House (Ka`bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who have the ability; Messenger of Allah was asked what is ability and he replied Provision and Transport. This means Hajj is obligatory on anyone Once a Muslim has the ability he should not delay Hajj, as the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever intends for Hajj should haste as he may fall ill or detracted or face a need (preventing him from Hajj). Pure Halal spending Righteous deeds Righteous and knowledgeable people to accompany People who are humble and will help you perform your Hajj in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah That one performs it with pure Halal earning That he performs it for the sake of Allah That he performs it strictly in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet That he/she does not have sexual relations (with his/her spouse), nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly during the Hajj average Hajj package. If one declines, despite the ability, then Allah says: and whoever disbelieves then Allah stands not in need of any of the `Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)... Who should I accompany for Hajj? As The Messenger of Allah described the ability for Hajj being Provision and Transport, many people think of provision as being food, drink and money. Allah says: take the provision, and the best provision is righteousness This is important because people often choose the groups they join for lodging options. This is later nullified and teaching/instruction on how to perform the Hajj properly. That he does not follow his Hajj by any unlawful deeds of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) 33

36 ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS OF HAJJ IN ADDITION TO FULFILLING THE OBLIGATION? By Dr Khalid Khan Hajj is an act of worship that includes several other deeds of obedience and submission towards Allah and testifying his oneness. The Messenger of Allah has informed us of the great reward of Hajj in several narrations such as; Narrated Abu Hurairah That the Prophet was asked, Which is the best deed? He said, To believe in Allah and His Messenger. He was then asked, Which is the next (in goodness)? He said, To participate in Jihad in Allah s cause. He was then asked, Which is the next? He said, To perform Hajj-Mabroor (an accepted Hajj). [Bukhari] Narrated Abu Hurairah that Allah s Messenger said, An Umrah to another Umrah is an expiation for what is (all minor sins) between them. And the reward of Hajj Mabroor (the one that is accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise. [Bukhari and Muslim] Abu Hurairah reported: the Messenger of Allah said, whoever performs Hajj and does not have marital relations, nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly (during Ihram), then he returns from Hajj as pure and free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him. [Bukhari and Muslim] 34

43 TESTIMONIALS... We would like to thank Travel Express for all their help and support during the trip, particularly our Group Leader, Omar, who was always approachable, both in person and by phone, and also the brothers from Travel Express who helped during luggage transfers to and from the coaches. We were a little anxious about the quality of service we would receive from Travel Express (we didn t have a personal recommendation from anyone) but our fears were proved unfounded. Overall, I would like to stress that we were pleased with the service provided by Travel Express, particularly the fact that many Hajj rites and activities were performed together as a group which was the main reason we chose Travel Express. We thank you once again for making our Hajj as easy as possible and we hope to travel with you again in the future We will start by saying Jazakallahu Kheyran for the friendly staff and the team that travelled with us all the way. It was reassuring to see a member of staff on our coaches with each journey and they were easy to approach if we had any issues. The tent service in Mina was good and we were well fed and were given up to date information about what will happen next. Travel Express delivered the service as described in the brochure. We are already recommending Travel Express to anyone who is planning Hajj or Umrah. Keep up the good work for the next year. Noor ul Islam trust has built up a relationship with Travel Express. Recently they organised for many of our members to visit the three holy mosques. The feedback received from our members has been wonderful. They have commented on the professionalism of the guides, the support and help given by brother Basi and the fantastic experience they have had. One member commented on the fact that out of the previous Umrahs he has performed, this was undoubtedly the best experience, because of the support of br Basi and his team. Mr and Mrs Rabbani Yusuf Hansa - Chairman Noor ul Islam trust... We just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts during the Hajj. MashaAllah, you were on top of things when it came to arranging transport and shifting the groups from Aziziyah to Mina and Mina to Arafah etc. The service you were in charge of was very efficient and friendly and you worked very hard to make sure everything went smoothly. We did not experience long queues which was amazing. This meant a lot to us as customers as some of us went for the first time for Hajj and were quite nervous! Mr M Islam Ms M Qadir 41

45 Narrated Ikrima: Ibn Abbas said: Allah s Messenger delivered a Khutba (religious talk) on the Day of Nahr, and said, O people! (Tell me) what is the day today? The people replied, It is the forbidden (sacred) day. He asked again, What town is this? They replied, It is the forbidden (Sacred) town (Makkah). He asked, Which month is this? They replied, It is the forbidden (Sacred) month. He said, No doubt! Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this (sacred) town (Makkah) of yours, in this month of yours. 43
