The Passion of Pilgrimage

Praise be to Allah, exalted be He, Who has prescribed to His servants the pilgrimage, gave them the desire to visit the Holy House and made this desire to be permanent. For best umrah packages Umrah Tour packages. May Allah praise the Prophet Muhammad, by whom Allah, exalted be He, has enlightened us, his family and his Companions, and saved them.

Allah, exalted be He, prescribed to His servants the fulfillment of Hajj once in life, and made it one of the five pillars of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Islam is founded on five pillars, of which] to make pilgrimage to the house for those who have the means" (Bukhari and Muslim).

 Therefore, the Hajj is an obligation established by the Book of Allah, exalted be He, the Sunnah of His Prophet, and the consensus of the Ulema. Anyone among Muslims who denies this obligation is considered as a disbeliever. However, the Muslim who does not accomplish it when he has the means is not a disbeliever, but he commits a major sin, according to the predominant opinion of the ulema.

 Given that men are likely to love their homelands and are inclined not to leave them, the (Supreme) Legislator, wishing to arouse the desire of human beings to fulfill Hajj, has invested him with considerable merits and Cause of great reward. For the Hajj implies a separation of his country, his family, his property, his companions and his clan. Moreover, Allah, exalted be He, encouraged His servants to visit the Holy House to see the cradle of Revelation and Message.
