Maintaining
Taqwaa
The pilgrim
must have taqwaa (fear and reverence of Allaah). He must strive to avoid what
He forbade. [Refer Al-Qur'aan 2:197]
The Prophet
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "He who performs
Hajj and does not speak obscenely or commit evil will return clean from his
sins just as the day his mother gave birth to him." [Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree,
vol.2, no.596, p.347]. If he did so, his Hajj would be righteous (mabroor).
Allaah subhanahu's Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "The
righteous hajj has no lesser reward than Jannah (Paradise)." [Saheeh
Muslim, vol.2, p.680, no.3127].
