Description :
-
pilgrimage is not a physical and outward act of worship alone. It consists also of an inner aspect, which is much more important than its outer manifestations.. The pilgrimage which is called by the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) as Hajj mabrur, or the accepted pilgrimage, is the one that is made up by spiritual beauties from its beginning to the end. From this point of view pilgrimage entails supplication, repentance, as well as attainment of Divine mercy, blessings and virtues. It is the improvement of this life by righteous deeds. We also pledge to Allah the Almighty that we will strive to maintain the beautiful state attained during the pilgrimage following the return from these holy places.

How wonderful the following prayer of the prophet Abraham (Peace Be Upon Him) is:
-
“Our Lord! And make us both submissive to You and (raise) from our offspring a nation submitting to You, and show us our ways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely You are the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.” (al-Baqara 2; 128).
