576 | What is the wisdom behind Hajj? | ||
There are many wisdoms behind Hajj. Among these wisdoms is the wisdom that Almighty Allah (S.W.T) prepares man to have the perfect form of servitude to Him. There are many acts of Hajj whose significance man cannot conceive by his limited intellectual powers. However, a Muslim accepts these acts and fulfils them out of his obedience and surrender to Almighty Allah. For instance, one may ask himself the following questions: Why Tawaaf (Circumambulation around the Hoy Kaaba? Why should it be in 7 rounds, not 3 or 5? What is the significance of throwing pebbles? And why 7 pebbles in particular? Why staying at or standing in Arafat? Why and why…? All these endless questions may intrigue one’s mind, but the clear fact is that their answers are beyond man’s limited faculty, and only what he is required to say is: I hear and obey Your Command, O Allah! Yours is to order and mine is to obey. | |||
