HADITH: HAJJ IS ARAFAH (MONDAY, JULY 19TH) O Muslims! Prophet Muhammad said, "Al-Hajju Arafah, Hajj is Arafah." You can miss any of the principles of Hajj (by mistake) and Hajj is still accepted as you can make it up by sacrificing an animal, but if you miss Arafah, even if you perform tawaaf, sa’ee, etc., it is not considered a valid Hajj. Hajj is to stand in that wide, sandy valley, with nothing in it; they carry in water and food to survive. What is there? JabalRahmah, the mountain where Allah Blă manifested the Mercy to Prophets, who took his #Sahaba to that place to taste the difficulty. When you suffer in #dunya, you receive rewards in the next life. There, Allah la wants to test Muslims' patience. You stand in that vast valley and all Muslims say in one voice, “Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayk Allah shareeka laka labbayk, There is no partner for You, O my Lord! You are The Creator and we are here at Your service!" ~ Shaykh Hisham Kabbani
