Hajj And 'umrah: When Will You Answer Allah's Call? by Lukgaf(op): 5:11am On Jun 26
One question you should always ask yourself as a Muslim is this:

If Allah has blessed you with wealth, what excuse do you have for delaying Hajj or 'Umrah?

Sadly, many Muslims today can comfortably afford to travel abroad for tourism, shopping, football matches, vacations, or medical check-ups. Yet, when it comes to visiting the House of Allah, they say, "Maybe next year."

Hajj is not just another journey. It is the fifth pillar of Islam for every Muslim who is physically and financially able.

Allah says:

"Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to Allah by all people who are able to undertake it." (Qur'an 3:97)

And although 'Umrah is not obligatory like Hajj, it is among the greatest acts of worship and a means of drawing closer to Allah.

What are the benefits of Hajj and 'Umrah?

- They are among the greatest means of having your du'ā accepted.
- They wipe away sins and purify the soul.
- They strengthen one's īmān and relationship with Allah.
- They remind us of the Day of Resurrection when all people will stand before Allah.
- They unite Muslims from every race, language, and nationality in one act of worship.
- They bring immense peace and tranquillity to the heart.
- They earn tremendous rewards.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"From one 'Umrah to the next is an expiation for the sins committed between them, and an accepted Hajj has no reward except Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim)

He ﷺ also said:

"Perform Hajj and 'Umrah consecutively, for they remove poverty and sins just as the bellows remove impurities from iron, gold, and silver." (Tirmidhi)

My dear brothers and sisters, if Allah has blessed you with the means, do not keep postponing what may become impossible tomorrow.

Many people planned to perform Hajj "next year" but never lived to see it.

The wealth you are saving may one day be inherited by others, but the opportunity to stand before the Ka'bah, drink Zamzam, make du'ā at 'Arafah, and seek Allah's forgiveness is yours today.

Respond to Allah's call while you still can.

May Allah invite every one of us to His Sacred House, accept our Hajj and 'Umrah, forgive our sins, and make us among the people of Jannah.

Āmīn.

Why should it be in the Quran?
Re: Hajj And 'umrah: When Will You Answer Allah's Call? by BlackfireX: 1:51am On Jun 28
MouthOdor:
Why should it be in the Quran?
Because it is the word of Al ilah
It is detailed and clear muebeen
Is for all time

Now where in the Quran can I find hijra of refugee muslims from mecca to medina?

Yeah, the Quran's claim of being detailed does not refer to this issue. You need to provide an argument for that, plus the Quran mentions explicitly that Muslims are to obey the Prophet ﷺ and this can only be done through the Hadith.

Plus, why are you spelling it as "Al ilah"? We aren't Arab Christians, it's "Allah"

Ilah means deity in the Arabian pantheon
Al means THE

Al ilah means the deity you are talking about or recognised.
Example zeus is the Al ilah of thunder in the Greek pantheon deity.
Amadioha and sango are Al ilah deity for thunder in yoruba and igbo pantheon deities.

Al ilah is a title not a NAME.
Al ilah or Allah is the same.

Qutham a.k.a Muhammad father was an idol worshipper , even his uncle mutallab died an idol worshipper why ? Because there deity was Al ilah and that is why they were name after them--- they circle the kaaba , they kiss the Blackstone, they tawaf , they fast Ramadan, they kill a ram , they wear a piece of white cloth and so on, and most importantly they worship Al ilah.

Should I continue habibi?

Ilah just means "god". Al makes it definite to refer to "The God", the only one deserving worship.

Al ilah means the deity you are talking about or recognised.
Al ilah is what some Greek-influenced Arab Christians pre-Islam called God, a direct translation from the Greek "Ho Theos". Only Christians called God that, no one did.

Example zeus is the Al ilah of thunder in the Greek pantheon deity.
Zeus is an Ilah not "Al Ilah", except you can show evidence that Greeks spoke Arabic and referred to Zeus as "Al Ilah". I thought you were smart

Amadioha and sango are Al ilah deity for thunder in yoruba and igbo pantheon deities.
No they're not, those are Ilahs not "Al Ilah". Same reason as above

Al ilah is a title not a NAME.
Al ilah or Allah is the same.
Al Ilah is a title to signify "The God", Allah is a name and a title.

Qutham a.k.a Muhammad father was an idol worshipper , even his uncle mutallab died an idol worshipper why ? Because there deity was Al ilah and that is why they were name after them--- they circle the kaaba , they kiss the Blackstone, they tawaf , they fast Ramadan, they kill a ram , they wear a piece of white cloth and so on, and most importantly they worship Al ilah.
Nice try, everything they did was a remnant of their father Abraham and Ishmael. But, how didn't you know the pagan Arabs believed in One Supreme God they called Allah to which they worshipped smaller gods and idols to get closer to? grin

Should I continue habibi?
Except you want a bloodied nose grin
