<strong>Al</strong>lah says in the Sanctified Hadith:<br />

“O son of Adam! Fear not those vested with power as long as My<br />

Sovereignty and kingdom never ends. Fear not the expiration of<br />

provision as long as My treasures are full never to empty. I have<br />

created everything for you and I have created you for My Sake, so<br />

proceed in My Obedience to have everything submitting to you.<br />

You owe Me dutifulness in what I have enjoined upon you, and I<br />

owe you sustenance, but if you disobey me in what I have<br />

enjoined, I will not deny you your sustenance. If you are<br />

contended with what I have ordained for you, I will relieve your<br />

heart, but if you are discontented with what I have ordained for<br />

you, by My Might and Majesty, I will empower this world against<br />

you, wherein you will run as beasts in the wilderness and you will<br />

not have of it except what I have ordained for you and you will be<br />

disparaged in My Eyes.”<br />

In Talbiyah, the words ‘You have no partner’ settle in the heart of<br />

the believer the relief of knowing that <strong>Al</strong>lah is the One and Only<br />

God. <strong>Al</strong>lah wants to relieve and assure us that He is the One God<br />

with no other partner to oppose Him in His Will. This Oneness is a<br />

great blessing indeed for which we should heartily thank <strong>Al</strong>lah.<br />

Surely, had there been a partner with Him, the earth would have<br />

been full of mischief and people’s needs would have been wasted<br />

between a god that wants and another that denies.<br />

The perfection of the Blessing of <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

We have to observe that the <strong>Hajj</strong> is the only ritual that confers on<br />

the believer a special title. You neither call the one who observes<br />

Salah (offering Prayers) ‘The prayer,’ nor the one who pays the<br />

Zakâh (obligatory charity), ‘The Zakâh-giver,’ but we call the one<br />

who performed <strong>Hajj</strong> to the Sacred House of <strong>Al</strong>lah, ‘The hajji.’<br />
