Women & Hajj

August 25, 2008

Women & Hajj

Muhammad Sharif | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 19 | Size: 1 MB
The goal of this term paper was to give the Muslim woman a chance to see those Fiqh rulings that are specific to her in Hajj – since many a time her rulings are lost in the general discussion of how to perform Hajj. In the end one should have a general idea of those things that a woman differs in Hajj from men. They should be able to recognize differences in ritual worship between the women and men. And they – in sha’ Allah ta’ala – should get a clear understanding of issues that are commonly differed upon. After having been given the opportunity – alhamdullilah – to attend Hajj for a few years, the subject that came to mind to write about for this course of Fiqh Al-Kitaab was Sunnah was that of women in Hajj. Because of the lack of experience people, not specifically from North America, have with the rites of Hajj, I wanted to give the Muslim woman a chance to look specifically at those things which she needs to focus on and understand. With the intention of writing a term paper that would elucidate the Fiqh rulings specific to women in Hajj, I went about organizing the topics under three chapters, the first dealing with Ihraam, and the second with ritual differences between the men and women.

A Brief Guide To The Rites Of Hajj And Umrah

August 24, 2008

A Brief Guide To The Rites Of Hajj And Umrah

Shaikh Abu Haatim Usaamah al-Qoosee | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 28 | Size: 1.5 MB
Hajj is obligatory on every Muslim only once during his or her lifetime, provided that he or she is able to perform it. The order comes from Allaah in the ayah:“Hajj (Pilgrimage) to the House (the Ka’bah) is an obligation that humanity owes to Allaah, for those who can find a way (i.e. for those who can find the means to do it). And whoever disbelieves (i.e. denies the Hajj), then Allaah is beyond any need of all that exists (from His creation).” [Surah Aali ‘Imraan: 197]

Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor

August 24, 2008

Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor

Sheik Muhammad Mitwaly Ash- Sha‘râwy | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 118 | Size: 2 MB
In the journey of ever continuous giving of the venerable Imam, Sheik Muhammad Mitwaly Al-Sha‘râwy, are shining lights and inspirations that illumine the way of the seekers, guide the astray and teach humanity the religious matters that have been kept hidden from it. Done for the Love of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and Islam by Abdullah translation group and as homage paid to our venerable Imam, Sheik Muhammad Mitwaly Ash- Sha‘râwy.

Hajj…that sublime fifth Pillar of Islam, rich with farreaching
shoreless meanings, wisdoms, morals, philosophies
and symbols; a rehearsal to the Day of Crowding, a great
scene of equality where all privileges melt into thin air. In
Hajj there is a reenactment of Prophet’s Ibrâhîm (peace and
blessings be upon him) firm stand against the black whispers
of Satan. He stoned him seven times, a physical matter that
agrees with our corporality, for us to learn that we should
always stone the devil within ourselves in a nonphysical
sense, barring all his gateways to us, by our defiance to yield
to his satanic temptations until he recedes and leaves us
dispossessed of all power over us.
All hajjis came answering the call of The Great Summoner –
His Majesty, Allah, all praise and glory be to Him. All are
standing before Allah just with a seamless piece of cloth on
body like the shroud you shall come out of this world
wrapped in.
Tawâf, Sa‘y, Standing at ‘Arafat, offering sacrifice,
Zamzam…. and other Hajj rites, all have a wisdom and a
moral, all teach a lesson that we should live by. Hajj with it
majesty and the magnificence of worship in it is the hope of
every Muslim to establish the Fifth Pillar of his Islam; hope
of becoming a hajji, a traveler whose destination is the
Sacred House of Allah and visiting His Messenger
Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
