Hajj is the symbol of unity of Muslims from all over the parts of world. It is the practice of Muslims that is done once in whole life. According to the order of Allah Almighty Hajj is compulsory for the Ummah of Last Prophet. Every year there is a mass gathering in the most sanctified regions like Makkah and Madinah to carry out this holy worship. Hajj Umrah travel agency performs its duty to make packages for Muslims of UK. Hajj is different from all other worships because it is performed in the specific areas and time of performing it is also fixed. Before or after that time it cannot be performed.
First Allah asked Hazrat Ibrahim to construct first place of worship for His followers and then ordered him to ask the people for pilgrimage. When it became the era of Holy Prophet, he was ordered to perform Hajj in 10 A.H. This was the time when it became obligatory doing for Muslims. Today it is performed with full preparation and dedication. It is performed in the duration of five days from 8th of Dhu al Hajjah to 12th of Dhu al Hajjah. The time comes to perform it only one time in a year.
Rid from the sins:
It is the best source of getting rid of sins and evil doings. According to the saying of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) performer of Hajj becomes innocent as like as he was new born. It is the best way of character building. It provides strength to the faith of Muslims. It is highly suggested for adults and should also be practiced in the old age to get rid of sins. It is the best source of memorizing history of Prophets (Hazrat Ibrahim and Hazrat Ismail) to Muslims.
Following are the doings in Hajj:
Wearing of Ihram
Tawaf of Kabah
Sa’eey
Sacrificing animals
Halq
Pilgrims also visit other holy sites and perform prayers in those places.
Collection of worships:
Although name of Hajj represents single worship but it is not only single worship. It is the collection of many worships. Every single doing of Hajj is the way of teaching for every Muslim. Wearing of Ihram teaches clarity and fairness. It makes many changes in the lives of Muslims. Muslims become aware of the time of their death when they wear Ihram.
Worship of single God:
Taking seven rounds around the single Kabah is the proof of presence of single God (Allah) for whole humanity. There is no one to be worshipped except Allah. As Kabah of Muslims is one, in the same way Allah is also one. During Tawaf Muslims speak the worlds for the praise of Allah, the Creator of whole universe.
Muslims also perform another worship similar to Hajj that is named as “Umrah”. It has almost equal reward as that of Hajj for the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). These two are the gifts from Allah because of prays of Holy Prophet for this Ummah. He used to ask the great worships for his Ummah from Allah. Allah didn’t reject his appeal and rewarded this Ummah with Hajj and Umrah.
Muslims cannot pay thanks to Allah for this worship. Allah has given us uncountable blessings. We should try to make Allah happy by fulfilling His orders. If someone is able to afford the expenses of Hajj, he should not lag behind. He should perform Hajj in every condition. There are some Muslims who cannot afford luxury packages for Hajj. They should look for the cheap Hajj packages to take benefits of performing it. Hajj is full of uncountable blessings. Perform it to fulfill the order of Allah.
