The Message Of Hajj

The Message of Hajj he is as if separating himself from the way of life that his environment had taught him. He brings upon himself the feeling that God wants a person to have. Millions of people leave their own colours and get coloured in the colour of God. After putting on the divine clothing of ihram on the body, the pilgrim’s tongue also starts speaking divine words. Now the pilgrim starts raising the call of “Labbaik Labbaik.” As if God was calling him, and he ran to His call and said: “O God, I am present, O God, I am present.” The act of saying Labbaik Labbaik continues continuously by the pilgrim. Saying “I am present” does not mean that I am present to live in Makkah. This is not a sentence of leaving the homeland, but a sentence of leaving the way of life. It means that I am present for your obedience. I am ready for whatever command You give, I will stand on it with all my heart and soul. The declaration of Labbaik is made by the person at the place of Hajj, but he has to practically prove it when he returns back to his homeland, in the days and nights where he lives his life. When a person reaches Makkah, the first act he does is the Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba. Baitullah is a vast mosque. In the middle of its wide courtyard stands the historical building of the Kaaba, which was built by Prophet Abraham. The pilgrim walks around this Kaaba
