Important part of Hajj is, of course, the
state of eharam. Now the eharam
is of 2 parts. 1 is the physical
eharam that a * wears it or a
person that goes umra wears, But more important
than that is the actual state.
The that person wears is, of course, of
2 garments, 2 white garments, and
it symbolizes
a unity amongst
the Muslims.
The great Malcolm x, he points out that
when he was there in Hajj, there are
people of different skin tones and different eye
colors and different hair colors.
But each one stands in front of Allah
exactly the same.
And this is what the iham
symbolizes in our lives.
That one day we will be standing in
front of Allah
and Allah
sees us
not based off of our
financial status or not based off of our
education.
In the eyes of Allah
we are as 1.
And this
not only did
it unify the Muslims,
but it also brings a level of simplicity
in a person's life.
That
when we're here in America, we worry about
our clothes,
our cars, our hairstyle,
our socks, our shoes, everything has to be
perfect.
But when a person enters into the state
of
all that gets left behind.
There is no perfect. And many times we
get this question that is it allowed to
are we allowed to use toothpaste that's not
scented or shampoo that's not scented or soap
that's not scented?
And my personal opinion to this is
that you may be allowed to, but it
kinda defeats the purpose of ihram.
The purpose of ihram is coming to Allah
messy,
coming to Allah
disheveled, coming to Allah unkept,
and being at the doors of Allah's
house, asking Allah
for all of your deepest desires,
all of your deepest needs,
humbling yourself
and bringing yourselves down
at the doorstep of Allah
And this is the purpose of Haram.
And
scholars teach us that the habits that you
pick up in this stage
while you're in,
these habits will last you
for a lifetime.
And this is why we encourage the that
are there right now
that while you're in a haram,
utilize your time
completely.
Understand that there's a Quran that you should
be reciting.
Every moment of a haram, every moment that
you are in those two garments,
it should be utilized wisely.
Because after a
half a day period of umrah
and two and a half days of hajj,
the next time you will be in a
haram
is after another trip, after you go back
to America, and then you pay a couple
of $1,000 and come back for Hajar Umrah.
So this time that you have,
maybe 3 days, 4 days in the haram,
is extremely, extremely valuable,
And this time is to reflect on yourself
and refine yourself
and bring in good habits and bring in
good characteristics
that can last you
when you go back to America.
This is the state of and when made
to Allah
accepts
your and he calls us all to be
a part of Hajj.
