Scarify and Hajj (Mecca)


  • MECCA 

The last pillar of Islam is the visit to the Hajj (Mecca).  Mecca is the most holy place for all Muslims of the world. When a Muslims goes to Hajj, they need to have the right intentions in their hearts to pray and practice Islam. If one goes to Mecca with no right intention, then that person will not gain anything. Scarifies is last stage of Hajj where a true believer would be ready to surrender fully to God by scarifying their dearest things. Muslims need to be able to scarify their most lovable person in the submission of God.  The Prophets Ibrahim had only one son, who he loved and valued the most. When, God called on him to scarify his son. Ibrahim scarified his son Ismail.  

Although Ibrahim was broken hearted by what God had asked him to do, still he obeyed God and scarified his most precious person. This was a test of his faith and submission to God, which every Muslims needs to pass like Ibrahim. The thing or person, which we love the most, is our weakness and it takes our attention away from God and faith. Every Muslim should be able to sacrifices their weakness and become submitted to God. They’re weakness can be anything or any person. Whatever weakens your faith and whatever distracts you from accepting responsibilities; by scarifying, it will prove that you are ready to give up your most valued thing or person just to be true to your faith and to get closer to God.
