For those who are not able to do Hajj this year

[Bint e Aisha]

For those who are not able to do Hajj this year, reflect on the beautiful words of Imām Rajab al-Hanbali رحمه الله who said:

 

"Whoever is not able to stop at Arafah, then stop at the limits Allaah has set. 

 

 

Whoever is not able to spend the night at muzdalifah, let him spend the night in obedience to Allaah to come close and attain nearness to Him.

 

 

Whoever is not able to slaughter at Mina, then let him slaughter his desires so by it he can reach his objective. 

 

 

Whoever was not able to reach the house because it is far, then proceed towards the Lord of the Ka'bah, for He is closer to him than his jugular vein."

 

 

[Lataa'if al-Ma'arif, p.g. 6]

 

 

 

Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbāli رحمه الله said: 

 

"And from the greatest of voluntary deeds that brings you closer to Allāh is abundantly reciting Qur'ān, listening to it, pondering upon it and understanding it."

 

 {جامع العلوم والحكم ٢/٣٤٢}

 

 

 

⇇ لـمن لـم يتيسـر لـه الـحج

 قـال ابن رجـب رحمـه الله تعالى :

 

 

•« مـن لـم يستطـع الـوقوف بعـرفـة،

فلـيقف عند حـدود الله الـذي عرفـه»

 

 

 •« ومـن لـم يستطـع الـمبيت بمـزدلفـة،

فلْـيبت على طـاعة الله لـيُقَرّبه ويُزْلـِفَهُ »

 

 

•« ومـن لـم يقـدر على ذبح هـَدْيه بمنـى ،

فلـيذبح هـواه لـيبلغ به الُـمنى »

 

 

•« ومـن لـم يستطـع الـوصول للـبيت لأنه بعيـد ،

فلـيَقصدْ رب الـبيت فإنه أقـرب إليـه مِـنْ حبـل الـوريد».

Thank you, for helping us. I really want to go and perform Hajj and Umrah. But, can't go some personal reason.
