Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 25
It is stated on page 79 of the 1 st volume of the book ‘Naykī kī Da’wat’
published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of
Dawat-e-Islami: The Beloved Prophet ٖ
has stated,
‘Without doubt, there is a valley in Hell from which Hell seeks refuge
four hundred times daily. Allah has prepared this valley for
those ostentatious people from the Ummaĥ of Muhammad who are
the Ḥāfiẓ of Quran, give charity for [something or someone] other
than Allah, perform the Hajj of the house of Allah and travel
in divine path.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 12, pp. 136, Ḥadīš 12803)
Two examples of ostentation of Ḥujjāj
Stated on page 79 of the 1 st volume of the book ‘Naykī kī Da’wat’ are
two examples of ostentation of Ḥujjāj:
1. To inform people about the number of performed Hajj and
‘Umraĥ, the amount of daily recitation of the Quran, all the
observed fasts in Rajab and Sha’bān and other Nafl fasts, Nafl
Ṣalāĥ and Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī recited in abundance so that people
would admire him and treat him with respect.
2. To perform Hajj or let others know that one has performed it
so that people would call him as Ḥājī Sahib, come to meet him,
implore him to make Du’ā for them, offer him garlands and
give him gifts etc. (If one has no intention of being treated with
respect and given gifts but rather he has good intentions such
as expressing gratitude for a divine bounty etc. there is no
prohibition for him to let others know about his Hajj, to hold
‘Maḥfil-e-Madīnaĥ’ and to invite his relatives and friends etc.
It is an act of reward of the Hereafter for him in this case.)
(In order to get detailed information regarding ostentation,
go through from page 63 to 106 of Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ’s
published book ‘Naykī kī Da’wat’ part 1.)
