The Messenger’s Hajj Series | Shaykh Ahmad AlKurdyIn the first chapter, we delve into the various states, experiences, and conditions that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had during Hajj, with his Lord, Allah. A strong connection with Allah and being firm on that connection is a treasure of the righteous. Hajj serves as one of the most effective means to experience Taqwa and ‘Uboodiyyah.The Messenger ﷺ was poised to demonstrate his servitude to Allah, both as a teacher and a leader, while performing the pilgrimage. Despite the presence of his family and community, he remained undistracted from his connection with his Lord, remaining consistent in it. He diligently fulfilled the exclusive rights of Allah (Tawheed), ensuring that the practice of at-Tawheed was diligently observed through various acts.Allah emphasizes the importance of fulfilling Al-Hajj (the major pilgrimage) and Umrah (the minor pilgrimage) exclusively for His sake in Suratul Baqarah, verse 196:وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلۡحَجَّ وَٱلۡعُمۡرَةَ لِلَّهِۚ”And complete and fulfill Al-Hajj and Umrah exclusively for Allah.
