Steadfastness After Hajj *

2004/01/02

The proof of Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor (acceptable Hajj) is the steadfastness of the servant in practicing righteous acts and abandoning sins after Hajj. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, “Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor is to return abstinent from this world and desiring the hereafter. This is evidenced by Allah’s saying: [While as for those who walk aright, He addeth to their guidance, and giveth them their protection (against evil).] (Muhammad 47:17).”

So beware, brothers and sisters, of destroying what you build, dispersing what you gather, eliminating what you gain, regressing After guidance, and deteriorating After refining. 

Remember that Hajj wipes out the sins that precede it and that because of Hajj you return in a state like that on the day your mother bore you. So beware of opposing Allah with sins After this blessing. Turn a new leaf in your life and fill it with righteous actions and noble deeds.
