Book Name:Makkah Mukarrama Ki Shan-o-Azmat

5. Hajj has always been performed only at the blessed Ka’bah. Bayt-ul-Muqaddas although remained the Qiblah but Hajj was never performed there.

6. It has been declared as the place of peace.

7. Many signs have been placed in it. Maqaam-e-Ibraheem is (also) one of them. (Tafseer Sirat-ul-Jinan, vol. 2, pp. 14, 15)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Performing the Hajj of the blessed Baytullah is that dignified and remarkable form of worship for which the Muslims supplicate imploringly. They ask others to make Du’as for them. They arrange for different financial means to accomplish this goal of theirs. They save up some amount from their Halal earnings. After the required amount has been   saved up to perform Hajj, they then fill the Hajj application forms hoping that اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه their name would also shortlisted in the drawn lots and they will also soothe their eyes with the blossoming scenes of Haramayn-e-Tayyibayn by performing Hajj. They will shed tears and repent from their sins by going to the sacred places. They will present their pleas and seek the goodness of this world and the Hereafter.

The one whose name comes in the drawn lots, her excitement has no limits because just within few days, she will, not in the dreams, but in reality be within the boundaries of the beloved city, i.e. Makkah-e-Mukarramah whose honour and dignity has been mentioned in the Glorious Quran.
