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 />

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 />
