Hajj and 10 Hadith

• Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. We must perform the pilgrimage at least once in our lives if we can afford it, and we are financially capable.

• If we have the means to perform Hajj, we should try to do so sooner rather than later. That is because we have no guarantee of life.

• We should recite the Talbiyah during Hajj, which signifies our obedience and worship toward Allah.

• A Muslim who performs the Hajj complete correctly, avoiding sin, sexual relations, etc., will depart as a newborn baby, free of sin.

• There are many Hajj rites, including doing Tawaf, offering Salah behind Maqam-e-Ibrahim, going to Mina, Arafah, Muzdalifah, and stoning the Jamarat.

• Kissing the Black Stone is a good thing, but the Black Stone is just a stone, and it can’t harm anyone.

• Women can perform Hajj. The Hajj from a woman that Allah accepts is a Jihad that Muslim men wage.

• Pilgrims who visit the Kaabah, the House of Allah, are like Allah’s guests in the Holy Mosque.

• Performing Hajj on behalf of the dead is permissible and is known as Hajj-e-Badal.

• Hajj-e-Mabrur is a completed Hajj that is done properly, which Allah accepts. The doer goes on to attain Paradise.

Which is a more important Quran or Hadith?

Qur'an and Hadith are two vital sources of  Islamic legislation. However, Qur'an is considered more important to the Hadith because of the following reasons: Qur'an is a word of the Creator; Allah (SWT) while Hadith is a saying of a man (such as the Prophet (s.a.w.a) or the Imams (AS)).

Conclusion 

It also seems likely that the religious element of the Hajj plays a role beyond providing a cooperative setting. For example, Hajjis’ changed attitudes on gender appear to be circumscribed by those norms broadly accepted in Islam. Further, it is plausible that the religious context provides the legitimacy that makes it acceptable for adherents to alter their views. 

At the end of the Hajj, Muslims from all over the world celebrate the holiday known as the Eid ul Adha or Festival of the sacrifice.

This festival commemorates the obedience of the Prophet Ibrahim when he was ordered to sacrifice his son Is'mail.

Ibrahim proved his love and devotion to Allah by showing his willingness to kill his beloved son if Allah wished it. In the end, Ibrahim did not have to kill his son as Allah gave him a ram to sacrifice instead.
