Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hajj (The Pilgrimage) Sacrifice After you have shot the last idol, offer the sacrifice immediately since these three idols are the statues of trinity and the symbols of three, satanic stages. Always be conscious of your intention and do not forget its meaning! Know what you are doing and why? The rituals should not mislead you to overlook your purpose. All these are "hints", so be careful to view what you are supposed to see.

Procedures and techniques should not confuse you, the meanings should be understood and not the formalities. During Hajj every action depends on and is preceded by your intention. Any action without it is not accepted. Intention is obligatory for fasting too; if you forget to say it, you will somehow feel it.

The same is true during the Holy War if you do not declare the intention you are still a fighting soldier At Hajj, your acts are useless without the intention since these ceremonies are "hints", "signs" and "symbols". A person only physically touches his forehead on the ground if he does not understand the meaning of prostration. He who does not realize the essence of Hajj only brings back from Mecca a suitcase full of souvenirs and an empty mind.

During Hajj you are to: Declare monotheism by TAWAF. Exercise the struggle of Hajar by Sa'y. Show the descent of Adam by going to Arafat from the Kaaba. Show the philosophy of man's creation, the evolution of thoughts from pure science to pure love and the ascension of the spirit from mud to God by going from Arafat to Mina. The last stage of evolution and idealism, absolute freedom with- absolute submission ... or the stage of IBRAHIM is in Mina. Now, you are about to act as Ibrahim.

He brought his son Ismail to sacrifice Who is your Ismail or what is it? - Your position? Your honor? Profession? Money? House? Farm? Car? Love? Family? Knowledge? Social class? Art? Dress? Name? Your life? Your youth? Your beauty? How do I know? But you know it yourself whoever and whatever, you should have brought it with you to sacrifice here.
