The
‘Black stone’
At one corner of the Kaba, traditional Muslims seek the blessing of
a black stone. Such practice has no support in the Quran. It
was innovated by someone through the hadiths books.
The water of
‘Zamzam’
There is nothing in our religion that makes of Zamzam water any blessed water
than any other water. Many of the Hajj visitors claim all kinds of blessings
and cure by this water on no basis. We should remember
to give all the qualities of cure and blessings to God Almighty,
not to a cup or a can of Zamzam water.
The shortening of the Noon and Afternoon
Salat
This custom has no Quranic basis. On the contrary, God in the Quran
very clearly tells us when we need to shorten the Salat (during war).
[4:101] "When you travel, during war, you commit
no error by shortening your Contact Prayers (Salat), if you fear that the
disbelievers may attack you. Surely, the disbelievers are your ardent
enemies."
Hajj by a Deputy!
God asserts the fact that each soul will be held accountable only to what
it has done.
[ 53:39] "Every human being is
responsible for his own works."
In spite of these clear assurances in the Quran, we find Muslims today doing
Hajj and Umrah for their dead relatives. They do that in
accordance with various alleged hadiths that claim you can do Hajj, fast
and also give Zakat on behalf of your dead relatives! These hadiths
are in direct contradiction to the Quran and cannot
possibly originate
from the prophet Muhammad who followed the Quran.
Women not allowed to do Hajj without
a Mihrim!
This practice has no Quranic basis.
Women (during menstruation) deprived
of their Prayers, (and thus not completing Hajj
rituals) !
This restriction has no basis in the Quran
and deprive the women of an essential part of their religious
practice.
Visiting the Prophet's Tomb in Medina
Unfortunately, most of today's Muslims make it a custom to visit the
Prophet Muhammad's tomb in the masjid that carries his name in Medina. By
doing that they are committing the most flagrant acts of idolatry
and thus nullify their Hajj.
Hajj is meant to be for GOD ALONE. Hajj is older than the prophet
Muhammad himself. Abraham and his descendants performed Hajj, they did
not have a prophet's tomb to visit. The prophet Muhammad himself
did his Hajj the correct way without dedicating his Hajj to anyone
else besides God.
The Quran consistently talks about "The Sacred Mosque," while
today's Muslims talk about "The Two Sacred Mosques" ! In a glaring
act of idolatry, these Muslims have set up Muhammad's tomb as another
"Sacred Mosque" ! This is blasphemous violation of the Quran and
ironically, even violates Hadith. It is interesting to know that
traditional Muslims claim to believe in a sahih
(confirmed) Hadith in which the prophet Muhammad declared that
God cursed the Jews and the Christians because they built places of
worship around their prophet's tombs.
The price
of abandoning God’s Law
Because many Muslims abandoned God's laws for Hajj
many problems and disasters have been happening in and around the
Hajj season.
If Hajj is spread over the four months as commanded by God in the Quran
all the millions of Muslims who wish to make it to Hajj would
have a fair chance to do so. The overcrowding with all its
multiple problems and difficulties will be eliminated.
Allahu Akbar
