Advantages and aspects of the Hajj


The Hajj makes it possible to establish a link with the Prophets who have succeeded each other since our father Ibrahim, builder of the House until our Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) who restored the sacred character of Mecca. This link is reflected in the pilgrim by the memory of the presence of these beings of excellence in this blessed place.
Wearing a clean white outfit is a sign of inner purity, clarity of the message and the way forward. The outfit implies the abandonment of ornament, the manifestation of humanity and the recall of death since the outfit resembles the shroud and insinuates the availability to appear before Allah, the Almighty and the Majestic.
The entrance into the state of sacredness (Ihram) from the places intended for this purpose expresses the bondage towards Allah marked by obedience and submission to His order and His law. Therefore, no one must go beyond the said places (without sacralizing) since such is the order of Allah which is expressed in His law. This reflects the unity of the Umma and its organizational discipline which should exclude division and divergence over the fixing of the said places.
 Pilgrimage is a practical expression of TawheedThis is what the pilgrim says at the beginning of his Hajj, as Djabir ibn Abd-Allah says in his description of the Prophet's pilgrimage (S.A.W): "He (the Prophet) proclaimed the tawhid  :  Labbayka Labbayka Inna al-hamda wa an-ni'mata lakawal moulk Laa Sharika laka".
