A’la Hadrat’s pilgrimage for Hajj

A’la Hadrat had great devotion to sacred Baytullah and Haramayn; this parable is enriched with depth of feelings.

On the occasion of second Hajj, when he was in Makkah Mu’azzamah, he had a high fever. A Turkish doctor named Ramazan Afandi gave him a kind of salt in very little amount and said: Drink after mixing it with Zamzam water. Having heard this, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه felt delighted and said: Dr. Afandi suggested me the medicine which was my favourite, that is, blessed Zamzam. It is my habit that I do not drink stale water and if I drink I immediately suffer from cold. But see the blessing of Zamzam that I drank Zamzam water when I was healthy, ill, during the day, during the night, fresh and stale; when I open my eyes at night due to the high fever, I rinsed my mouth and drank Zamzam water, I drank it before Wudu and after Wudu. When I calculated as to how much water I consumed in almost my 82-day stay in Makkah Mu’azzamah, I found that I consumed almost 4 maunds (1 maund=37.3242kg) of Zamzam water. (Anwaar-e-Raza, pp. 382)

یہ زمزم اِس لیے ہے جس لیے اس کو پیے کوئی

اِسی زمزم میں جنّت ہے اِسی زمزم میں کوثر ہے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! When our pious predecessors used to go on a pilgrimage for Hajj, they would remain busy with Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and recitation of the Holy Quran all the time. They would weep out of the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and would be delighted greatly with the blessings of Zamzam water. So whenever we are privileged to perform Hajj, we should avoid the activities which may disturb the concentration of other people’s Hajj as well as ours.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
