xiv
Ghazālī ۡ ۡ
has further stated: Another sign of Hajj
Mabrūr is that the Ḥājī should lose his interest in the world
and focus on the preparations of the afterlife. After he has seen
the Ka’baĥ, he should now remain busy making preparation to
meet Allah .) (Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 1, pp. 349, 354)
34. After returning from Hajj, I will avoid sins completely, perform
good deeds in abundance and act upon Sunnaĥ even more
enthusiastically. {A’lā Ḥaḍrat
has stated: If a Ḥājī
who had not fulfilled the rights of Allah and those of people
before Hajj did not fulfill these rights even after Hajj despite
being able to fulfill them – (for example, he did not offer missed
Ṣalāĥ and fasts, did not pay previously unpaid Zakāĥ and did
not fulfill violated rights of people), the burden of all of these
sins will be on his back once again as these unfulfilled rights
will not be considered fulfilled merely because of Hajj, and
delay in their fulfilment would renew these sins. Hajj removes
previous sins and is not a letter of freedom to commit sins in
future. The sign of Hajj Mabrūr is that the Ḥājī should be more
righteous compared to his pre-Hajj state.} (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ,
vol. 24, pp. 366)
35. I will visit the holy places of Makka-tul-Mukarramaĥ and
Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ ۡ
ۡ .
36. I will see the holy city of Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ ۡ
ۡ
with the intention of gaining reward considering it a privilege.
37. Before I humbly make my first visit to the blessed court of the
Holy Prophet ٖ
, I will take a bath, wear a new white
dress, new head-cloth, cap and turban. I will also apply kohl into
my eyes and nice fragrance to my dress.
