Islam and the Quran

Islam and the Quran People go to perform Hajj multiple times because they can afford it. Does it mean that they will get more reward? Performing Hajj multiple times only because you can afford it is not the right attitude. If you are a person of means, you should divert the money towards other work such as dawah. The Prophet performed only one Hajj in his lifetime. Is conversion the purpose of Islam? Conversion is not at all a goal of Islam; there is no point of converting others. According to Islam, religion is a matter of selfdiscovery. Conversion has no value. Can prayer be offered in languages other than Arabic? All ulema have said that salah (prayer) should be performed in Arabic. However, some scholars (such as Abu Hanifa) have given this exception for those who are yet to learn the language. So on a temporary basis they can perform salah in their own language until they learn Arabic, after which they are required to pray in Arabic. This is the practice followed in all other religions as well, that is, worship is generally performed in religious language. How can we understand the deeper meaning of the Quran? According to the Quran, the deeper meaning of the Quran can be understood through contemplation (tadabbur) and such reading should be done with an open mind, not with a conditioned mind. Only if a person reflects objectively, he would be able to reach the deeper meaning of the verses of the Quran.
