Haj is one of the five institutions of Islam. The performance of Haj as an enjoined duty and its superiority is in the statement of Allah:
“Haj (pilgrimage) to the House (Kaabah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the journey. And whoever disbelieves (i.e. denies Haj) then he is a disbeliever of Allah and Allah stands not in need of any of His Creatures.” (Surah Al-Imran 3:197)
Pilgrimage is a duty to be performed at least once in a lifetime by every adult Muslim, man or woman, who is free, of sound mind and able to undertake it.
Hence earlier i went to the airport to send one of my kakak angkat (kak balkees) off to perform her pilgrimage...its been quite awhile since i last sent someone off to makkah..the last one was my dad when he did his haj in 1998.Its kinda sad to see the kids cried when their mum went inside the departure hall..and there was an overwhelming crowd who came to send the relatives off too at 2am..somehow i feels like goin to makkah too again to perform umrah maybe insya allah if im financially able to do...however i prayed that kak balkees dapat haji yang makbur...
So its Aidiladha next tuesday...10th Zulhijjah 1426H...so salam aidiladha to all in advance...
a penny for my thoughts?
