In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
What Does Qur'an Say
About Hajj?
They ask thee concerning the New Moons. Say: They
are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in (the affairs of) men, and for
Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back: It is virtue
if ye fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors: And fear Allah. That
ye may prosper. [2:189]
For HAJJ are the months well known. If any one undertakes that duty therein,
Let there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the HAJJ. And
whatever good ye do, (be sure) Allah knoweth it. And
take a provision (With you) for the journey, but the best of provisions is
right conduct. So fear Me, o ye that are wise. [2:197]
In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters
it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who
can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any
of His creatures. [3:97]
"And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and
(mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and
distant mountain highways; [22:27]
And complete the HAJJ or 'umra in the service of
Allah. But if ye are prevented (From completing it), send an offering for
sacrifice, such as ye may find, and do not shave your heads until the offering
reaches the place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in
his scalp, (Necessitating shaving), (He should) in compensation either fast, or
feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; and when ye are in peaceful conditions (again),
if any one wishes to continue the 'umra on to the
HAJJ, He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford
it, He should fast three days during the HAJJ and seven days on his return,
Making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the
precincts of) the Sacred Mosque. And fear Allah, and know that Allah Is strict in punishment. [2:196]
Behold! Safa and Marwa are
among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the House in the Season or at
other times, should compass them round, it is no sin
in them. And if any one obeyeth his own impulse to
good,- be sure that Allah is He Who recogniseth and knoweth. [2:158]
And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on
the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve
(treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were
best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And
proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith. [9:3]
Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred
Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last
Day, and strive with might and main in the cause of Allah. They are not
comparable in the sight of Allah. and Allah guides not
those who do wrong. [
