🕋 Hajj: Shuruaat, Ahkaam aur Ibadat
Hajj ki shuruaat Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) ki zindagi aur unke qurbaniyon se judi hai. Unhone hamesha ek Allah (Tauheed) ki dawat di aur murti-puja ka virodh kiya. Allah ke hukum se unhone apni patni Bibi Hajar (RA) aur bete Ismail (AS) ko Makkah ki banjar ghaati (Bakkah) mein chhoda.
Jab paani khatam ho gaya, Bibi Hajar (RA) ne apne bache ki pyaas bujhane ke liye Safa aur Marwa ki pahadiyon ke darmiyan 7 baar daud lagayi. Isi sangharsh ki yaad mein 'Sa'i' ki jaati hai. Usi dauran Allah ne Zamzam ka chashma jaari kar diya. Baad mein Ibrahim (AS) aur Ismail (AS) ne milkar Kaaba ki tameer ki aur Allah ne Ibrahim (AS) ko hukum diya ki woh logon ko Hajj ki daawat dein.
Translation: “Aur logon mein Hajj ka elaan kar do…” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:27)
Hadees: “Jo shaks Hajj kare aur (us dauran) koi buraayi ya gunah na kare, woh apni maa ke janam dene ke din ki tarah gunahon se paak ho jaata hai.” (Sahih Bukhari, Muslim)
📌 Hajj ke Mahine
Quran ke mutabiq Hajj ke mahine pehle se muqarrar hain (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197): Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah aur Dhul-Hijjah. Hajj ke asli kaam 8 se 13 Dhul-Hijjah ke darmiyan hote hain, lekin taiyari aur Ihram ka waqt Shawwal se shuru ho jaata hai. In mahino mein ladayi jhagda karna sakht mana hai taake haaji sukoon se ibadat kar sake.
🏛️ Hajj ke Arkan, Wajibat aur Sunnat
A. Arkan (Pillars – inke bagair Hajj nahi)

🌟 Madina Munawwarah ki Ziyarat
Madina jaana Hajj ka hissa nahi magar behtareen sunnat aur fazilat wala amal hai. Masjid-e-Nabwi mein ek namaz 1000 namazon ke barabar hai. Rawdah (Riyadul Jannah) ko Nabi ﷺ ne “Jannat ka bagh” farmaya hai. Adab ke saath salam karein: “Assalamu Alaika Ya Rasulullah”, phir Hazrat Abu Bakr aur Umar (RA) ko salam karein.
| Category | Typical Time Slot | Gate |
|---|---|---|
| Gents (Men) | Raat 2:00 AM se Fajr; dopahar 11:20 AM – Isha | Gate 37 |
| Ladies (Women) | Fajr ke baad 11:00 AM tak; Isha ke baad 2:00 AM tak | Gate 24 ke paas |
Conclusion: Hajj sabr aur niyat ki ibadat hai. Makkah se maghfirat aur Madina se Nabi ﷺ ki muhabbat lekar lautna hi asli kamyabi hai.
🕋 Hajj: Origins, Rulings & Spiritual Journey
The history of Hajj is deeply linked to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his sacrifices. He always called to pure monotheism (Tawheed) and rejected idol worship. By Allah's command, he left his wife Hajar (RA) and son Ismail (AS) in the barren valley of Bakkah (Makkah).
When water ran out, Hajar (RA) ran seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa seeking water for her child. This struggle is commemorated as Sa'i. At that moment, Allah caused the spring of Zamzam to flow. Later, Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS) built the Kaaba, and Allah commanded Ibrahim to proclaim the pilgrimage to mankind.
Translation: “And proclaim the Hajj among people…” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:27)
Hadith: “Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any obscenity or transgression will return (free from sins) as on the day his mother gave birth to him.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
📌 Months of Hajj
According to the Qur'an, the months of Hajj are well-known (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197): Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah and Dhul-Hijjah. The main rites occur between 8th and 13th Dhul-Hijjah, but preparation and entering Ihram can begin from Shawwal. Fighting and disputes are strictly forbidden during these months so pilgrims can worship in peace.
🏛️ Pillars, Obligations & Sunnah of Hajj
A. Pillars (Arkan – without them Hajj is invalid)
- Ihram (intention and special state)
- Wuquf at Arafah (9th Dhul-Hijjah)
- Tawaf al-Ifadah
- Sa'i (seven rounds between Safa & Marwa)
B. Wajibat (Obligations – if missed, Dam/sacrifice is required)
- Ihram from Miqat
- Staying at Muzdalifah
- Spending nights at Mina (11th, 12th, 13th)
- Rami (stoning the Jamarat)
- Halq or Qasr (shaving or trimming hair)
- Tawaf al-Wada' (farewell Tawaf)
C. Sunnah (for extra reward)
- Bath (ghusl) and perfume before Ihram
- Reciting Talbiyah loudly: “Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk…”
- Offering five prayers at Mina on 8th Dhul-Hijjah
🗓️ Step-by-Step – The 5 Days of Hajj
🌟 Visiting Madinah Munawwarah
Visiting Madinah is not part of Hajj but it is a highly virtuous Sunnah. One prayer in Masjid an-Nabawi equals 1,000 prayers elsewhere. Rawdah (Riyadul Jannah) is described by the Prophet ﷺ as “a garden from Paradise.” Greet with respect: “Assalamu Alaika Ya Rasulullah”, then send salutations upon Abu Bakr and Umar (RA).
| Category | Typical Time Slot | Entrance Gate |
|---|---|---|
| Gents (Men) | 2:00 AM – Fajr; 11:20 AM – Isha | Gate 37 |
| Ladies (Women) | After Fajr – 11:00 AM; After Isha – 2:00 AM | Near Gate 24 |
Conclusion: Hajj is an act of patience and sincere intention. Returning from Makkah with forgiveness and from Madinah with the love of the Prophet ﷺ is the true gift of a pilgrim.
