Hearts are filled with victory in Miqat...

Hearts are filled with victory in Miqat, Tawaf, Sa'y, Arafat, Mashar and Mina - shooting, sacrificing and celebrating 'Id with great sincerity. Yes, at this time and in this land, more than a million Muslims do not end their Hajj to disperse and continue their individual lives. NO THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS THEIR PROBLEMS! Hajj is to come here on time and perform these actions with people.

Otherwise, you may go to Miqat, from there to Mina, Arafat Mashar and Mina at any other time or without anyone else. That is not Hajj; it is a useless action or it may be considered a tour. This is the time that you are surrounded by a spiritual atmosphere tomorrow when everybody leaves; Mina is like any other land with the exception of being dry and uninhabitable. You are here to learn that without people, searching for heaven (paradise) is the ugly selfish attitude of a monk.

A PROMISED (ON CREDIT) MATERIALISM IS WORSE THAN THE ONE NOW AVAILABLE! This greedy attitude postpones its gluttony and enjoyment to the hereafter. In other words, it is like a bourgeoisie who prefers credit to cash! A devotee is as selfish as a materialist; the latter chooses the technique as a tool while the former uses the faith! A materialist uses science to enjoy his life and a devotee uses God for this purpose.

Both are searching for the same goal, but one for the present and the other for the hereafter! The Islam of Ibrahim and the prophet Muhammad (S) teaches us that Almighty Allah hates these selfish devotees. (S) If one has ended the day and hasn't thought of the welfare of his society or not made any attempt, he is not a Muslim. It is true that you performed Hajj and ascended to Ibrahim's position by sacrificing your Ismail, but this is not the end of it; rather, it is the beginning of your duty.

All these ceremonies were for you to ignore "self-service" and begin "to serve others", and not to buy fame but to do it for God's sake! This is why you are asked to come during the Hajj season while everyone else is there. To come here alone is not considered a Hajj. Now at the end of this performance, all those who have defeated Satan as Ibrahim did, sacrifice their selfishness and celebrate their victory.

Before returning to Mecca for a farewell, they have to fulfill two other duties - to establish a scientific and theological seminary where anyone may attend and to establish an international social convention. The two extra days are to summarize the Hajj in these conventions.
