Commentary
‘istataa-‘a
‘ilayhi sabiilaa – (for him who can
find a way thither), it means that he would have sources and means to
reach the House of God Almighty (the Inviolable Place
Heretofore, after
explaining the specific matters about Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) and
his custom, it had been cleared that the Muslim nation is closest in relation
with Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) than the Children of Israel. The first
House, which was constructed as the place of worship, was the House of Allah
Almighty in Mecca
Pilgrimage is a such
worship, every act of which shows that the person, who is performing the
pilgrimage, how much he has love of the Real Master (God Almighty) in his
heart? Therefore, Allah Almighty commanded, “Allah has the Right on the people
that the persons, who can afford to come Here, they must perform the pilgrimage
of Ka’-bah. The person, who claims to be in love with Allah
Almighty and can afford to reach this House of Allah (BaytUllaah)
physically and financially, he would attend the House of the Real Worshipped at
least once in his/her life. The person, who will avoid performing the
pilgrimage, lo! Comprehend of him that he is a liar claimant of love with Allah
Almighty; he may be pushed, wherever he wants. Allah Almighty does not have any
care for him/her; if someone dies as a Jew or a Christian, it does not affect
Allah Almighty”.
This test (of pilgrimage) will clear that who has
been convinced by Oneness of God Almighty. Who loves purely Allah Almighty?
Whoever has love for wealth, he will delay to perform the pilgrimage, he cannot
be real worshipper of God, and who would have real love, he will reach there
frenziedly. He will revolve around the House of Allah like the frenzies, with
scattered hair, will confess with love and great humility saying, “Labbayka,
Allaahumma Labbayka, Labbayka laa Shariika Laka
Labbayka, ‘Innal-hamda wan-Na’-mata Laka wal-Mulk, laa Shariika Lak”.
(Here I am O Allah, here I am, there is
no partner for You, here I am, Verily all praise for You, and every bounty is
from You, and all dominion is Yours - You have no partner.). He will
kiss the Black Stone, fixed in a corner of the Square Building of Ka’-bah,
(Hajar-i-Aswad), will run on the Safa and the Marwa
hillocks, will offer prayer at the place of Abraham (Maqaam-i-‘Ibraa-hiim)
(peace be upon him), will sacrifice in Minaa, will be present
at Jabal-i- Rahmat . Even he will do every thing with which
his/her Lord may be pleased.
