Welcome once again to our program, why Hajj? In the last episode we have mentioned, the importance
and the significance of Hajj and how important it is for us to perform as it's an obligation. In
this episode, we shall discuss about the eligibility of performing hajj and the consequences of not
performing it.
		

			First of all, we need to understand that in Islam, everything that Allah subhanaw taala has given us
is full of benefits. Number two, we need to understand that in Islam there is nothing which can put
on you as a burden. Allah Subhana Allah says
		

			in Surah Baqarah surah number two and number 286 law you can live low knifes and illa woosah. Allah
subhanho wa Taala will not put upon you a burden that you cannot bear. So the teachings of Islam are
absolutely reasonable. They are actually fair, in order that we may obey and obliged
		

			one such great a bada that Allah subhanho wa Taala has given his a Hajj, the pilgrimage to the holy
city of Mecca,
		

			in the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			There are however, certain eligibilities that a person has to have in order to be able to perform
hajj and the first of all,
		

			is that he must be a Muslim. A person who would like to perform Hajj He must be a Muslim or non
Muslim is not allowed to perform Hajj being Muslim, the one who submits his will to Allah subhanho
wa Taala he has to perform hajj, as an obligation upon us if he is able to do so, number one, number
two, a person must be made sure the Hajj is not obliged on an immature people on the pill on the
person who is not reached to the level of puberty, who is not mature. So being a person who is
mature and who reached the level of puberty Hodge is absolutely compulsory for that person.
		

			The third
		

			eligibility that a person has to have, he should have a sound mind he shouldn't be an insane person
upon insane and mentally * persons had is not compulsory. Hajj is compulsory upon those who
is sound, who knows who understands who is a sane person, it's not an obligation upon an insane
person. So push person has to be sound in his mind.
		

			Number for a person, a person, he should have the financial ability to perform how much now I would
like to spend a couple of moments in this regard. financial ability, I would like all of you to re
evaluate,
		

			redefined redefine this relative term of financial ability. Because unfortunately my brothers and
sisters, unfortunately a lot of people take an excuse a lot of people take an excuse of not
performing hajj because they say we are not financially able to do so. But in reality, they are so
extravagant in their spending. They spend so much in their marriages they spend in their cars they
spend in the living in totality. I'm not saying that you shouldn't spend good on your living you can
but understand, understand that you are going to fulfill an obligation that Allah subhanaw taala has
given you
		

			you can save some money
		

			Perform has to keep priority for Hajj. Because by Allah you are not going to stand in front of
anybody with this excuse, you are going to stand one day before Allah, are you going to give an
excuse, even though if you could do it, but view give a wrong excuse before Allah. Think about it my
brothers and sisters, you will stand one day before Allah and you will never be able to give any
wrong excuses or excuse which is not genuine, so reevaluate, rethink on this point of financial
ability.
		

			You have finances for everything. But when it comes to how much you take out the excuse that we are
not financially able and that's why we excuse this beautiful everybody. Hedge you should be foremost
by the brothers and sisters. As we mentioned, the reward of hedge is nothing except Janna.
		

			Don't be want Jenna, Jenna my brothers and sisters, something which we can't comprehend. That's the
reward of doing hedge. So you need to make sure that you try to strike a balance and try to collect
and save some money and do this obligation first, at least once in your lifetime. Financially, you
should be able to perform
		

			the fifth criteria or the eligibility factor that you need to perform Hajj is that you should be
healthy enough, you should be physically fit in order to perform Hajj. Now, this is again a relative
term.
		

			Many people they are physically fit.
		

			And they are the people who struggle for this dunya. Nine to six, they can work. Sometimes they can
work even extra hours, they can walk they can do everything. But when it comes to how much some
people they try to pretend or present themselves as they are weak.
		

			They don't have strength. Again, my dear brothers and sisters, you are going to stand before a law
one day. Do you think that you will carry this excuse before Allah subhanho wa Taala? No, my
brothers and sisters, that day is the day where your
		

			excuses which are not genuine will not work.
		

			So make sure that trying to exert struggle, there is no price without sacrifice. You need to make
sure that you pay certain exercises, you need to make sure that you need to sacrifice a bit in order
to get great amount of virtue, great results.
		

			So that's the fifth criteria. And the sixth one is for women, they have to have Muharram to go for
Hajj, we can buy a haram but we can't buy Muharram so women understand that no matter how excited or
interested or enthused you are, you cannot perform Hajj without this condition of having a madam and
men. You need to make sure that you fulfill this desire of our women who desires who vicious who has
this great zeal and interest to perform Hajj It is your responsibility, if you can take them and
give them the opportunity to them to perform Hajj. So these are in general six conditions or six
eligibility factors or criterias in order to perform Hajj. Now what is the consequence? What is the
		

			consequence of not performing hedge number one, you will be not fulfilling the obligation that is
laid down upon us to Allah subhanaw taala this would be an unfulfillment of the pillar of Islam.
Imagine Islam is built on five pillars. One is believing in Allah subhanaw taala and the other four
are spread across imagine you without one pillar. It will not complete your Islam. If you are able
to do so must do it. So the consequence of it would be it will be an unfulfillment of the pillar of
Islam number one, number two you will be deprived of getting Jana. You see Allah Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam he said the reward of Hajj is Jenna. And if you don't do Hajj, even though you are
		

			able to do so, you will be deprived of it. In what a What a weird situation you can't afford. You
can't afford to miss that.
		

			My brothers and sisters, number three,
		

			you will miss this beautiful experience and opportunity that you cannot miss a beautiful experience
you will miss if you do not go for Hajj you will miss even if you are able to do so you will miss
this great opportunity. And this should ignite you to go for Hajj. The fourth point or the
consequence of not performing hajj is my brothers and sisters. It's an act of sin. Even if you're
eligible, even if you are if you can do so, you are a Muslim and you are a mature person. You are
saying you are absolutely okay and you have the money to spend for Hajj and you have the health to
be able to fit in the criteria. If you still do not do it, then it's like an act of sin. It's like
		

			an act of sin my brothers and sisters.
		

			And this is a kind of
		

			an ungrateful attitude that we will present to Allah subhanaw taala when Allah subhanaw taala has
given so much to us, good health, wealth, mind fate, what else do we want? upon all these things, we
need to make sure that we must go for Hajj. If we are able to fulfill these criterias and the
consequence of not doing it. It's like a big sin. It's like a big sin. And remember, remember that
Allah Subhana Allah says in Surah Allah Maran surah, number three, number 97
		

			that if you deny this act, if you go away from this act, if you reject this act, Allah subhanaw
taala is not in need of any one of us. So these are the consequences My dear brothers and sisters
have not performing hajj. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to help every Muslim
		

			to grant good health and wealth and good Nia good Nia, my brothers and sisters, in order that we may
		

			get this great opportunity to be the guest of Allah subhanaw taala We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
bless all the Muslims with this beautiful ibadah of Allah subhanaw taala so that we may fulfill our
obligation
		

			that is laid down by Allah subhanaw taala upon us with this, I would like to end this episode here
