*FIRST REMINDER*. Saturday. 26th day of Dhul-Qa'dah. *_HAJJ MOOD ACTIVATED_*. *BismilLaah* As the hujjaaj departs towards the most important and meritorious journey of their life, we pray that Allah purify their intentions and accept their hajj. Aameen. Hajj is one of the best acts of worship. It is one of the pillars of Islam with which Allaah sent Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam and without which a person’s religious commitment is incomplete. Worship cannot bring a person closer to Allaah and cannot be accepted unless it meets two conditions: 1. Sincerity towards Allaah alone, i.e., it is done to seek the Countenance of Allaah and the Hereafter, and is not done to show off, to enhance one’s reputation or for worldly gain. 2. Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in word and deed. Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) can only be achieving by knowing his Sunnah. Hence the one who wants to worship Allaah by doing any act of worship, Hajj or anything else, has to learn the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning it, so that his actions will be in accordance with the Sunnah. *Hajj is not for fashion or show off as such we MUST discourage our relatives participating to avoid taking photos and videos during the rituals of hajj with aim of making people know they've performed hajj*. *This kind of show off can damage our rewards for the hajj*. Today's Reminders is aimed at summing up the description of Hajj as narrated in the Sunnah. There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu’, Ifraad and Qiraan and will summarize the meaning of each in the second and third Reminders today be-iznilLah. *May Allah accept the hajj of all those who are participating*. Aameen.
