Islam is basically built on Tawheed. This implies that all your deeds shall be for Allah\u2019s sake to be accepted. You can\u2019t be a Muslim without accepting this truth.<\/p>\n
Indeed, all five Islamic pillars target this goal: to unify your destination. It\u2019s to believe in Allah (the Only One God) and His Messenger, Muhammad \ufdfa, to pray to Allah five times daily, to pay poor dues (Zakaah) for the sake of Allah, to fast in Ramadaan, and finally to perform Hajj to Allah\u2019s House in Makkah. Thus, the meaning of tawheed is reflected in the journey of the hajj.<\/p>\n
Tawheed (monotheism) is clearly illustrated in hajj rituals through the primary condition of hajj, the places of performing the rituals, the founder of the Sacred House, Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the supplications said during the hajj rituals.<\/p>\n
Tawheed is a must to be able to perform hajj<\/p>\n
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasizes this fact by saying:<\/p>\n
\u200f \u0623\u064e\u0644\u0627\u064e \u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064e\u062d\u064f\u062c\u064f\u0651 \u0628\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062f\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0645\u0650 \u0645\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064c\u060c \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0637\u064f\u0648\u0641\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062a\u0650 \u0639\u064f\u0631\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064c \u200f.\u200f<\/p>\n
In the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet (\ufdfa) when Allah\u2019s Messenger (\ufdfa) made Abu Bakr RA the leader of the pilgrims, the latter (Abu Bakr) sent me in the company of a group of people to make a public announcement: \u2018No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person is allowed to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba.\u2019 [Al-Bukhari]<\/p>\n
Moreover, no act of worship is valid in Islam without pure intention for the sake of Allah. Thus, the pilgrim\u2019s intention has to be for the Creator solely. Indeed, it is the same concept of tawheed, i.e., to worship only Allah, the One True God.<\/p>\n
The pilgrim\u2019s main destination is the Sacred House<\/p>\n
The Sacred House placed in Makkah is the slogan of Tawheed on earth. It is the direction of prayer for Muslims whose belief is built on Tawheed. Most importantly, this Sacred House is established by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) by Allah Almighty\u2019s order mentioned in the following verse:<\/p>\n
\u0648\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0630\u0652 \u0628\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0651\u0623\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u0625\u0650\u0628\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0670\u0647\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0671\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062a\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0646 \u0644\u064e\u0651\u0627 \u062a\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u0652 \u0628\u0650\u0649 \u0634\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0640\u064b\u06ed\u0654\u0627<\/p>\n
Remember! We identified the site of the Sacred House to Ibrahim (Abraham), saying, “Worship none besides Me, sanctify My House for those worshippers who make Tawaf (walking counter clockwise around it as a part of the Hajj rituals), and stand in prayer, bow, and prostrate themselves, [al Hajj 22: 26]<\/p>\n
Prophet Ibrahim AS, the role model of Tawheed, called for the pilgrimage<\/p>\n
Tawheed is highly reflected in the leader who established the place of the pilgrimage and call for it, obeying Allah\u2019s order to him:<\/p>\n
\u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0630\u0650\u0651\u0646 \u0641\u0650\u0649 \u0671\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0633\u0650 \u0628\u0650\u0671\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062c\u0650\u0651<\/p>\n
And make a proclamation of Hajj (Pilgrimage) to mankind [al Hajj 22: 27]<\/p>\n
It was said that Ibrahim (AS) said: \u201cO Lord, how can I convey this to people when my voice will not reach them\u201d It was said: \u201cCall them and We will convey it.\u201d So Ibrahim (AS) stood up and said, \u201cO mankind! Your Lord has established a House so come on pilgrimage to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is the father of the Prophets (AS) and he has a special rank for Muslims. His belief is Tawheed, as Allah says in the Noble Quran:<\/p>\n
\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0628\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0670\u0647\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064f \u064a\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u062f\u0650\u064a\u064b\u0651\u06ed\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0646\u064e\u0635\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0627\u0646\u0650\u064a\u064b\u0651\u06ed\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0640\u0670\u0643\u0650\u0646 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u062d\u064e\u0646\u0650\u064a\u0641\u064b\u06ed\u0627 \u0645\u064f\u0651\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0645\u064b\u06ed\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0671\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e<\/p>\n
\u201cAbraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he submitted in all uprightness and was not a polytheist.\u201d [Aal Imran 3: 67]<\/p>\n
Talbiyah is the devotional prayer of Tawheed in Hajj<\/p>\n
One of the significant prayers that the pilgrims say is the talbiyah:<\/p>\n
\u0641\u064e\u0644\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0641\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u0635\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u062a\u064e\u0651\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0634\u0650\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062c\u0650\u0651\u200f.\u200f<\/p>\n
The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: \u201cJibril AS came to me and said: \u2018O Muhammad! Tell your Companions to raise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah, for it is one of the symbols of Hajj.\u2019\u201d [Ibn Majah]<\/p>\n
The Arabic words Labbayk Allahumma labbayk here imply those meanings related to Tawheed:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 I submit and submit again,<\/p>\n
\u00b7 I am persisting in obeying You,<\/p>\n
\u00b7 I confirm my love of Allah,<\/p>\n
\u00b7 It implies sincerity,<\/p>\n
\u00b7 It implies drawing close to Allah.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 It is a symbol of Tawheed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
