Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor

The Almighty wants us to learn that in the Hajj we have conquered
the devil by forbearing from all what He has forbidden. Not only a
forbearance that involves the constant prohibitions but it extended
further to include some of the lawful acts. Thus, the forbiddance
intensified, but despite that we won through and completed the
Hajj rituals while engaged in the Remembrance of Allah and solely
occupied with worship and supplication. Meaning, not only are
we able to obey the doctrine but also are able to do higher and
greater acts of obedience.
If we remember well this wisdom we will firmly adhere to the Fear
of Allah after performing the Hajj rituals and inwardly we will
realize that we are capable to show far more obedience and abide
by it. Therefore, The Truth, all praise and glory be to Him, says
(what means):
“So when you have accomplished your Manasik [(i.e. Ihrâm,
Tawâf of the Ka'bah and As-Safâ and Al-Marwah), stay at
'Arafât, Muzdalifah and Mina, Ramy of J amarât, (stoning of the
specified pillars in Mina) slaughtering of Hady (animal, etc.)].
Remember Allâh as you remember your forefathers or with a far
more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say:
‘Our Lord! Give us (Your Bounties) in this world!" and for such
there will be no portion in the Hereafter.” (Al-Baqarah, 2: 200)
In order not to go astray or err, Allah, all praise and glory be to
Him, wants us to always remember Him as we remember our
fathers when away from us. To remember Allah, all praise and
glory be to Him, because that is the gathering where all desires
and affiliations no longer exist.
The Truth, Blessed and Exalted be He, wants to approach to the
minds of His creatures the concept that makes their movement
work together and not against one another. Our Remembrance of
Allah should be far more than that of our parents.
