‘Praying in Madinah makes one feel calm and relaxed’

Among them are two Indian pilgrims, Rayeesuddin Ansari and Liyaquat Ali. They came to ×Madinah from Lucknow, India.

“This is my first Haj,” said Ansari. “I am very happy to be in ×Madinah, the city of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This is the seat of ×Islam and it is from here that ×Islam spread to all corners of the globe. Madinah is in the heart of every Muslim. Praying at the Prophet’s Mosque gives one a feeling of infinite calm and a deep sense of fulfillment,” he added.

Much of Madinah’s physical heritage reflects ×Islamic and historical events such as the sites of Prophet Muhammad’s battle fields.

Ansari has visited many of these holy sites such as Uhud, Masjid Al-Quba and Masjid Al-Qiblatain.

Musings After accomplishing Hajj

By

Sheikh Salah Budair

× worship of God is a symbol of submission, proof of faith and a sign of obedience. By Zahir, worship is the glory and pride of heart. × servitude to Allah Almighty to deliver the highest degree of position, and is the greatest goal.

A few days ago, pilgrims have completed one of the worship of the great worship. They left when the seamless ihram clothes for God. Tears of repentance cheeks while in Arafat desert. All sounds with different language voice instantly and acknowledge their dependence on × Allah Almighty. All human beings are moving toward × Muzdalifah to spend the night, then set out to throw pebbles and tawaf around the Kaaba are glorified, then sa'i between the hills of Safa and Marwa ×.

All done in a way that is very beautiful. After that, they return to the heart as happy with a gift of flowering × Allah Almighty bestowed him. Allah says:

"Say:" By the Grace of God and × His mercy; let them have fun with it. His grace and mercy that is better than what they accumulate ". [Jonah / 10: 58].

A gift is better than the world and its contents. The world and its contents is only temporary, he would disappear; beauty that only few and easily lost. We congratulate the Hajj pilgrims because they, and the expert worship because worship and their earnestness.

We congratulate the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

إذا تقرب العبد إلي شبرا تقربت إليه ذراعا وإذا تقرب مني ذراعا تقربت منه باعا وإذا أتاني مشيا أتيته هرولة

"If a servant approaches Me one span, then × I approached him one cubit. When he got closer to Me a cubit, I approach him so far × two arm span. If he comes to Me walking, I go to him then × the trot ". [HR Imam al-Bukhari]

Praise God and give thanks to × Allah Almighty for the blessings given to you, surely goodness and His grace to you will not be interrupted, and his gift will be perfect. Allah says:

"And what is in your favor, then from Allah (the coming)". [An-Nahl / 16: 53].

SIGNS OF HAJJ Mabrur

You come from far away places. Now you have completed the pilgrimage, after wukuf and after you implement other worship. Now you are getting ready to go back to their respective countries. So do not you re-soiling themselves by returning to the things that are forbidden and reprehensible. Allah says:

"And be not like a woman who describes the thread that is spun with a strong, becoming fragmented again". [An-Nahl / 16: 92].

A foolish woman lacks, after trying day and night to embroider clothes, and when it was finished, he then collapsed again and release his bonds. He did not get any results from that job except tiredness and fatigue. Do you like those mentioned by × Allah Almighty in His word above! Do you destroy that you have to get up! Do not scatter the chain that you've become a

You have opened a new chapter in your life and put on new clothes after a sacred pilgrimage, then you do not ever re-do the deeds containing contempt. Do you climb back streets vices and other heinous acts. How beautiful, if good deeds with good deeds accompanied again. And what was worse, if good deeds accompanied by bad deeds.

Susili Bambang Yudhoyono and wifw pilgrimage to mecca

Mabrur Hajj and Hajj which is accepted it has the signs. Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah was asked: "What is the Hajj Mabrur?"

He rahimahullah said: "You go back (after pilgrimage) in an ascetic with the world and happy life with the life of the hereafter".

So, let Hajj already × × you exert a barrier you from places that destroy and derail. Let Hajj × be a motivator to increase your stock kindness and doing good deeds. Know, a believer it does not have a deadline for doing good deeds except death came to pick up.

How beautiful, if the pilgrims return to their family and the country with the appearance of better morals, the mind is more steady, more authoritative, and a variety of behaviors that invite × pleasure of Allah Almighty.

How beautiful, if the returning pilgrims after having a good behavior in daily life with peers, in association with their children, be good and take the correct manhaj, fair. Stored in his heart better than they look.

Indeed, if there are people who have these properties after the pilgrimage, then he was the one who could really benefit from the Hajj, can reap the wisdom of the lesson and the lessons contained therein.

What is done by people who are on pilgrimage, since ihram until completion, all × introduce himself to Allah Almighty, to remind him of the rights of Allah Azza wa Jalla × and peculiarities possessed × Allah Almighty; that He is Allah, none has the right to diibadahi except Him. Everything reminded, that He is the Almighty ×, where the soul and surrender yourself ditengadahkan face. Only He is a dependent in pleading all needs, and shelter from all the unwanted; and only He is the begging when hit by the disaster.

Then after that, how could so easily turn a pilgrimage that has been one of the rights of Allah to other than Allah Almighty ×, such as prayer, istighatsah, isti'anah, slaughtering and so forth? Then, Hajj is obtained by people who do shirk or act real bad after a pilgrimage?

Hajj is obtained by a person, who on his return from the pilgrimage he came magician, magicians, astrologers believe, tabarruk (ngalap blessing) with intermediate trees, rocks and wearing ajimat?

Hajj is obtained by a person, who on his return from the pilgrimage he neglected prayer, remove zakat lazy, wealth-consuming usury and bribery, drugs and khamr, decide gathering and drowning in pools of sin?

LESSONS LEARNED FROM away-AVOID AVOID DURING Ihram pilgrimage.

Know, between the precepts or prohibitions that there are valid forever. So, do you guys do it. Allah Azza wa Jalla × says:

"These are the limits of Allah, so do not break it". [Al-Baqarah / 2: 229].

People who call × berihram to meet Allah Almighty, how could after that he meets the solicitation or appeal against the din (religion) of Allah Almighty.

People who say Talbiyah in the Hajj, how could after that he does not arbitrate with Shari'a × Allah Almighty, or subject to other than His law, or willing to besides Allah treatise?

People who fulfill the call of God in pilgrimage ×, should also fulfill His call any time and in any place by means obeying his commands, do not hesitate and falter, can not obstructed. He only hear and obey God × and submit to Him.

Istiqamahlah! Keep doing a good deed, because you're not in the land of eternal! Avoid riya '! Sometimes it may seem trivial act of great value because of his intentions, and occasionally acts that seem to be worth little big because his intentions. Most scholars of the Salaf said: "Whoever wants to be refined in conduct, then let him fix his intention". Be the person who always worried about his credit is not accepted.

It was narrated from 'A'ishah radi anha, he said: I asked the Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam about -QS verse al-Mukminûn / 23 paragraph 60 to

والذين يؤتون ما آتوا وقلوبهم وجلة

(And those who give what they have given, to the dismay of fear),

أهم الذين يشربون الخمر ويسرقون قال لا يا بنت الصديق ولكنهم الذين يصومون ويصلون ويتصدقون وهم يخافون أن لا يقبل منهم

(Aisha asked :) "Are these the people who drink wine of and steal?"

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied: "No, O daughter of as-Siddiq, but it is their people who are fasting, prayer, and they worry bershadaqah deeds are not accepted × Allah Almighty".

2,5 million Muslim from all over the world came to Mecca, Saudi Arabia

(They were hastened to get goodness) -QS al Mukminûn / 23 paragraph 61 ". [HR Imam at-Tirmidhi].

GOD OF PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT practice pious

× duty to Allah Almighty any time. Remember the word × Allah Almighty in His Book:

"Indeed, Allah only accepts (sacrificial) from those who fear Allah". [Al-Maidah / 5: 27].

× duty to Allah Almighty, because piety is the best stock, and give the best effect in the hereafter. Let us realize that this world sabagai racing venue. Whoever is fast, he can, which is too late then he will lose. May Allah Azza wa Jalla × give grace to those who always pay attention and think, after that she took lessons. Allah says:

"Indeed a good sequel is for those who fear Allah". [Hud / 11: 49].

LESSONS WHEN dipeoleh settled in MEDINA

Let you always remember, that you've set foot in the country which is endowed × Allah Almighty. A region that once trodden by the two most glorious heel. A country which once inhabited by sayyid (master) jinn and men, the Prophet Muhammad × sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Then let you guys × always remember Allah Almighty in studying the Sunnah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, know sirah he sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, then walking on the street he sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, follow the instructions and manhaj he sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam . This will only happen with a request for help to remain × Allah, the god who is entitled diibadahi. Allah Azza wa Jalla × berfiman.

"Those who cling to the (religion) of Allah, then indeed he has given instructions to the straight path" [Ali Imran / 3: 101]

CLOSING

Let the Hajj which you exert be the start for a better life, and be a proof of honesty hearts. May Allah accept your Hajj and sa'i. May Allah Azza wa Jalla × restore full days of this blessed us all in the years and the decades to come, and the Muslims are also in a state of triumph.
