(BY TRADING DURING HAJJ) WHEN YOU DECAMPED FROM ARAFAT...

(BY TRADING DURING HAJJ) WHEN YOU DECAMPED FROM ARAFAT, (A DESERT NEAR THE SACRED MOSQUE) THEN REMEMBER ALLAH NEAR THE SACRED MONUMENT, OF MASHAR (IN THE MASHAR - AL - HARAM, ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN ARAF?T AND MIN?) AND REMEMBER HIM AS HE HAS GUIDED YOU, AND FORMERLY YOU WERE OF THOSE WHO ARE ASTRAY.

It begins with: ``The Pilgrimage is performed in the well known months.'' These known months are three; namely: SHAWWAL - ZULQAAD - ZULHAJJ. 2- Then new instructions are added to the previous ones. For those who have proceeded to perform the rites of HAJJ by wearing the GRAB=IHR?M; in the state of IHRAM, there should be no sexual intercourse; and so is touching the opposite sex with lust.

During the state of the GARB (IHR?M), whatever Allah has prohibited as obscenity and commiting sin, such as wrong doing, quarreling, and wrangling, must strictly be avoided. The pilgrim should guard himself against injuring Muslims by deeds or by words.

3- Then some spiritual aspects of the pilgrimage are mentioned that; all that Allah has made obligatory; such as the daily prayers, and other services must be done without any worldy purposes and ends, and merely for the pleasure of Allah; knowing that whatever of good we do Allah will know it. Then it is recommended that the pilgrim should come with provisions to satisfy his needs during the pilgrimage.

Then at once the attention is directed to fine spiritual instruction that, the pilgrim should provide for his final journey to hereafter; and the best provision for that purpose is PIETY. [ 219 ] As a matter of fact, there are so many signs, symbols, and symptoms, left in Mecca and Medina, which are related to ABRAHAM and our prophet and his near companions, and the history of Islam, that the pilgrim may study and take lessons and prepare himself for a pious return.
