The blessing of the <strong>Hajj</strong> is that you avoid all sins. Indeed, every<br />
moment passing on you without sinning is itself a blessing. In the<br />
<strong>Hajj</strong>, <strong>Al</strong>lah blesses all your times, you do nothing but kind acts,<br />
and the performance of good deeds therein is endlessly and<br />
infinitely multiplied.<br />
The Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>lah (may <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and grant him<br />
peace) said: “The reward of <strong>Hajj</strong> Mabrûr (the one accepted by<br />
<strong>Al</strong>lah) is nothing other than Paradise.”<br />
An endless blessing extending from worldly life to the hereafter,<br />
for <strong>Al</strong>lah wants man to abide by His Divine Law and no time man<br />
lives abiding by His Law as that of <strong>Hajj</strong>. Before hearing the Azân<br />
[The Muslim summons to prayer, called by the muezzin from a minaret<br />
of a Masjid five times a day] the Muslim hurries to the Sacred House<br />
of <strong>Al</strong>lah and keeps offering prayers, glorifying the Praises of <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

“Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was<br />
that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for <strong>Al</strong>-<br />
‘<strong>Al</strong>amîn (the mankind and jinns).” (Âl-‘Imrân, 3: 96)<br />
<strong>Al</strong>-‘<strong>Al</strong>amîn is the plural of (the Arabic word) ‘Âlam (world),<br />
indicating all, except <strong>Al</strong>lah. It includes different species as the<br />
world of the angels, that of the jinn, that of mankind and so forth.<br />
The aimed at meaning is that faith is strewn throughout the entire<br />
universe among all the species of the earth, and during the <strong>Hajj</strong><br />
season all these species gather in the Sacred House of <strong>Al</strong>lah. The<br />
Truth, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, says (what means):<br />
