AFTER HAJJ

Firstly, the honesty should remain the same despite after the performance of Hajj. There should be no display or disclosure of fashion and expensive luxuries. A pilgrim must not be in a desire to be called as Haji. People have a habit to disclose their pilgrimage frequently in order to recognize themselves as Haji. This is a trickery from Iblis who damages all the efforts done during in order to please Almighty Allah. Pilgrims are advised to be cautious about not displaying or disclosing unnecessary show of their pilgrimage to Mecca as it may tends to the meaning of riyaa (show, insincerity). However, for the purpose of information to others a pilgrim can describe his experience which may help others to plan their trip to Mecca for the purpose of Hajj & Umrah.

Secondly, it has been came into notice that, that pilgrims from all over the world return home with only the sad memories to reveal, and  this negativity is being mentioned rigorously to the extent that they talk only about the hardships they have encountered during Hajj. Therefore, the pilgrims should strictly refrain from these activities as it only portrays the bad experience they have while performing their pilgrimage. On the other hand, pilgrims should communicated good deeds such as about the greatness of the sacred places, the spiritual gains, the enjoyment in devotions of Haramayn – Umrah, tawaf and salam on the Sacred Grave, prayers performed in Al Kaabah and Prophet (S.A.W) mosque, etc. If a pilgrim evaluate his pilgrimage to Mecca during Hajj or Umrah he will conclude that the spiritual benefits that he will have in a long run and after life will outweighs the physical hardships. The time spend in these sacred places and in hardships are incomparable with anything in the world. Due to the long voyage and hardships of Hajj and Umrah, difficulty may arise. Despite the fact that 2-3 million pilgrims perform the rituals of Hajj at one time the difficulties encountered are still immaterial. Furthermore, the pilgrims are awarded enormously by Allah upon every difficulty he faced while performing the journey, whereas, the same is not the case at the same time as we undertake other journeys.  Due to these people who communicate the hardships only to the others become the cause of discouragement to others who have not yet had the chance to execute Hajj. These pilgrims who only spread bad experience about Hajj & Umrah fall into the category.... and who stop (men) from the way of Allah, and from the Sacred Masjid, (Soorah Hajj). These pilgrims must be paying attention  to that if people are discouraged by their exchange of dialogue and postpone their Hajj, then those who have discouraged them will be equally responsible.

Thirdly, if the Hajj is accepted by Allah (SWT), also know as ‘Mabroor Hajj’ or ‘accepted Hajj’ then the life of a pilgrim changes from worst to good. He adopts all the saying of Allah (SWT) and gets totally punctual in fulfilling the commands of Allah. His affection and preference towards the afterlife increases and love for the world and his desired decline. Therefore, it is necessary that the pilgrim should attempt to fulfill the duties laid down by Allah and avoid all the things forbidden by Him.
