Hajj (Pilgrimage) in Islam

                                       Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Literally, Hajj means "to intend" In Islamic terminology it is "a visit t Arafat in Ihram and to perform specific rituals.

It is one of the fundamental pillars of Islam, but it is necessary to possess the means to perform it. It means that one should have sufficient money or property to meet the expenditure of the journey and sufficient money for one's dependents for the period of his absence.

Prayer and Fasting both are the physical worships while Zakat is a financial worship.

        Hajj is not only a physical but also a financial worship. It constitutes a form of worship in which the whole human mind, body, soul, time, money and comforts are sacrificed in the way of Allah. Meaning that as against the other pillars it requires both physical and financial sacrifice. That is why it is the biggest of all Ibadaat for unless a man really loves Allah, he would never undertake such a long journey, leaving all his near and dear ones behind him and with the spirit of intense devotion, concentrating his thoughts on Allah.

The Angles in Islamic Religion

The Angles 

                        Need  for contact between man and creator

God is invisible and beyond all physical perception, so it was necessary to have some means of contact between man and God: otherwise, it would not be possible to follow the Divine will.

As God is the creator not only of our bodies but also of all our souls. As the human spirit is capable of both good and evil inspiration is possible that good people receive sometimes_evil inspirations and bad people good inspiration.

Among the common folk, it is possible that good people receive sometimes -evil inspiration (temptations) and bad people good inspirations.inspirations may come from someone other than God, which enables our reason to distinguish between that which is celestial and worthy of following, and that is diabolic and fit to be shunned.

                           how this contact can be possible?

There are several ways of establishing contact or communication between man and God.

The best would have been incarnation: but Islam has rejected it. It would be too degrading for a transcendent God to become a man, to eat, drink, be tortured by his own creatures, and even be put to death.

So the Question arises that than what would be the way of communication and what the source must be?

                             Why Angels have been created?

To convey the necessary message of God to human beings, God created a middle creation which is neither human being, nor it has some association with God's vital powers.

And these are called angels.

God sent his revelations to human beings via his selected people called prophets through the correspondence of  a special creation calls angels

The highest degree of contact the surest and the most infallible means of communication between a man his creator is called wahy by Prophet Muhammad.

And this wahy was brought up via the correspondence of angles.

Basic Qualities of Angels

Angel does what Allah commands them.

Angles have been given the necessary qualities and powers to carry out their duties 

They are the innocent servant of Allah's will, they do not have free will.

They help men in the use of free will.A man decides what to do and angels help him to carry out the decision.

The duty of angels is to glorify and praise Allah. 

They never get tired.

They are always ready to obey Allah

They do not need sleep, nor do they appear in human form.

There is the host of angels in the kingdom of Allah.

Prominent Angles 

Jibrail brought the revelation from Allah to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and to all other prophets.

Azrail also called The angle of death (Malakul Mawt)- is responsible for ending our life.

Israfil will blow the trumpet at the time of the end of the world and on the day of judgment.

Mikail is associated with food and Rain.

Angels are also recorder (Kiraman Katibin)

Some angles are busy recording all we do.

They are called the respected recorders (kiraman Katibin ) not a single word we say goes unrecorded 

Allah maintains his kingdom in the most super way, and angels are his most obedient and loyal servants.

how Intellect Is Decisive human being

Intellect Is Decisive

-Nowadays rationalism has prevailed and everything would be measured on the balance of intellect and then applied.

-But intellect does not have any formula or the principle that can be regarded as the universal truth.

-That can be accepted by every person of this world and that can differentiate between right and wrong.

-When such decisions are dependent on intellect the history provides the evidence that how intellect had deceived the man.

Intellect Is Decisive-Examples

-Intellect is not against the marriage with sister

-About 800 years ago a sect came into being named as "BATI FIRQA" and "QARAMRA".The famous leader of this sect was Abdullah bin Hassan Qairwani.

-He wrote a letter to his followers about the marriage with the sister.And those who avoid it according they are senseless.

-Sister and physical satisfaction

-According to Abdullah Qairwani when a sister can cook for his brother, can ready his dress for him, can clean his bed then why can,t she provide him the physical satisfaction.

-An atomic attack on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

-In Encyclopedia of Britannica, the atomic bomb is introduced as a weapon to save the life of 10 million people by killing the few lakhs of people.So the event which is cursed by the whole world is justified by the intellect in this way.

Answer To This Problem Is Impossible Through intellect

-When using the only intellect free of revelation or other teachings this won't be wrong.

-But if anyone considers it wrong then it means he is from such a surrounding whose teachings bade him from doing so and considers it wrong.

-Incest it now being prevailed in the western society and considers as the part of the human urge.

Results Of Being Away From Revelation.

Why All This Is Happening?

-Its only because of the reason that we are using intellect beyond its limits as this is the matter where the revelation of Allah is needed to guide the mankind.

Source of knowledge in islam

Source of knowledge in Islam

1.Any system would reliable only when it has enough knowledge supporting it as a backbone.

2.Allah has provided the man with certain sources of knowledge, each having its limited sphere of use beyond which it won't help anymore.

3.These Sources are;

-Natural Instinct

-Five senses

-Intellect

-Experience and observations.

-The revelation of Allah.

 Natural Instinct

Every living creature has God gifted ability to manage his/her natural act without learning 

 form anyone else this is totally God gifted sense which ALLAH almighty has blessed him 

naturally.

Example

:

-Newly born bird.

-Newly born human baby

Source of knowledge in Islam

                                           Five Senses

The Foremost sources, provided to human being, to gain knowledge are;

-Eyes

-Nose

-Ear

-Tongue

-Hand

1.But each sense has its limit to be used by a human being.That is, you can only look at different things by using your eyes but cannot use them to listen to different things.

2.Similarly, a nose can only smell the things and hand only can be used to touch.

3.The ear cannot work as the replacement for eyes.

                                              Intellect

1.When all the senses stop working and helping the human being from there another source of knowledge takes the birth that is intellect.

Example;

-there is a table in front of us we can

.tell its colour by seeing it,

.can tell about it material by touching it,

-but cannot explain how it came into being.Here we use our intellect that how carpenter went through different stages to build it.Because we neither had seen the process nor had listened to it.

Jurisdiction of intellect

1.Like all other five sense, the jurisdiction of intellect is not unlimited.

2.It is up to the certain limit and beyond this limit, you cannot use it even if you try, it stops working.

Revelation from ALLAH

1.The limit where intellect stops working starts revelation from Allah.

2.Revelation is heavenly Knowledge from Allah Almighty.

3.If someone uses intellect for it then would be similar to using the ear for looking at different things.

4.It doesn't mean that intellect is useless but it is only useful when it would be used in its limitation. 

Islamization

Islamization

v It means to design laws according to Islam and then implement them.

v Nowadays people call it fundamentalism.

v Fundamentalism means to follow the basic principles of governing the different spheres of life.

v So Islamization is following the fundamental principles of Islam which had been explained 1400 years ago.

                      Why Islamization

Mostly question arises why Islamization is needed as the teaching of Islam are 1430 years old and were for the people have been changed so they are mismatched with today’s world.

While in the present day world the needs and wants of the people have been changed so they are mismatched with today’s world.

They don’t have any principle but they use to say that believe on

Intellect

Experience

Observation

v They would the determine their needs and design their laws depending upon their requirements

vWith changing situations they would change their needs and thus adjust their laws accordingly.

vSuch a secular system considers the intellect, observation, and experience as the ultimate standard

Introduction of New System in Islam

Following systems are present already for spending life:

v     Christianity

v     Judaism

v     Secularism

While introducing new system these                      questions arise:

o How would they lead their lives?

o How would they govern their state?

o How would the design their education?

o How would they design their economy?
Criteria For Strength of System in Islam

v     Do these standards are strong enough?

v     Do they guide the human beings until the day of judgment?

v     Does this standard would be reliable by solely depending on intellect, observation, and experience?

Difference Between Islam And Secular System

-Secular system uses the only three sources of Knowledge that are;

1.Natural Instinct

2.Five senses

3.Intellect

4.Experience and observations.

-They believe that there is no other fifth source of knowledge.

-But in Islamization, there is a belief that there is also the fifth source of knowledge that is revelations from Allah.

-Islam says that use the intellect but up to its limits because beyond those limits, it started answering wrong.

-it would be similar to the computer it would work properly only when its installed functions are utilized.

-When such a command is provided which is not feed in it, would either not respond or started giving wrong answers.
