Chapter Nine: Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the Worshipers in their devotions<br />

<strong>The</strong> objective of bajj is for the hearts to become closer to Allah,<br />

not just the bodies. This can only occur with taqwd.<br />

Many people go to Makkah to increase the number of times that<br />

they have performed paj/ You hear him saying: I have stood (on<br />

mount 'Arajd twenty times.<br />

And many people live close to the baram but never persue<br />

cleansing their hearts. Others hope for some "vision" to occur to<br />

him.<br />

I have seen many of those traveling to perform bajj beating their<br />

companions over water and harming them on their way. And some<br />

do not perform prayers on time, and cheat in selling, thinking that<br />

bajj will repel punishment.<br />

lblis has deceived some people to introduce innovation to bajjrituals.<br />

I have seen people uncovering one shoulder while in the state of<br />

iprdm and stay in the sun for a long time. So their skin peels off and<br />

their heads swell, then use this to showoff.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Prophet (fi) once saw a man performing fawef while tied with<br />

a string, or something like that, so He (fi) cut it.138<br />

This Q.adith includes a prohibition from innovation, even if the<br />

aim was to o hey Allah.<br />
