Before leaving for the Hajj trip

The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Its fulfillment is of all importance in the life of the Muslim because not only is it obligatory for the one who can accomplish it but also because its reward, if performed as the Prophet, (S.A.W)taught us, Is other than Paradise.

According to Abu Hureira, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (S.A.W)said: "  Umrah erases the sins committed in the interval separating it from another and the piously accomplished Hajj For reward than Paradise. "

The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) also said, "  Anyone who goes to this House (with the intention of accomplishing the Hajj) and refrains from obscenities or committing indecent acts, Sins) as it was on the day when his mother brought him into the world. "

There is no doubt that the singular character of Hajj requires careful and particular preparation. It is often a unique opportunity in a lifetime and is also one of the highlights of the life of the Muslim who symbolically leaves this present life to respond to the call of his Lord "Labbaika Allahuma Labbaik" (O Allah, I come in Response to your call). This Talbiya: '' Labbaika Allahouma labbaik '' entry form in the state of sacralization which will be repeated often during the pilgrimage is also a formula of submission. Indeed, during his Hajj, the Muslim will more than ever submit, trying to respect with rigor and perfection a certain number of practical and moral rules. This short period in the life of the Muslim will then represent the quintessence of submission to Allah, the One, the Most High, the only worthy of worship, but also of community life and fraternity. Although insipid, it would almost become a return to daily life, except for the one who left this school of submission returns to purify his sins and convinced that it is his whole life that must be at the service of the Lord of the universes.
