Go back and perform Hajj the way I have told you to .</div> <div> </div> <div>There are 2 Maqam-e-Ibrahim, one in Makkah and one in the heart, one physical and the other spiritual. If someone desires to reach both the Maqam-e-Ibrahim, then they should act as Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has said .</div> <div> </div> <div>A young man missed Hajj. Before Hadhrat Sufyan Thauri (May Allah shower His mercy on him), that young man sighed. Hadhrat Sufyan (May Allah shower His mercy on him) said: I have done 4 Hajj, I will gift you the reward of all of them if you agree to gift the reward of sigh to me. The youth agreed. Hadhrat Sufyan (May Allah shower His mercy on him) wholeheartedly gifted the reward of 4 Hajj to that youth. That night, he saw a dream that you have drawn such benefit from the sight of that youth that if it is distributed among all the people of Arafaat, all of them would become wealthy .</div> <div> </div> <div>Translation of Hadith: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The person doing Jihaad and performing Hajj is a guest of Almighty Allah. If they pray, their prayer will be accepted and if they ask for forgiveness (Maghfirah) from Almighty Allah, they will be forgiven .</div> <div> </div> <div>Translation of Hadith: The person who performs Hajj will perform intercession (shafa'at) of 400 of his relatives. After performing the Hajj he will become so pure from his sins as if he is just born of his mother . </div> <div> </div> <div>Translation of Hadith: Angels shake hands with those Hajjis who go to Hajj using some means of conveyance and embrace those Hajjis who journey by foot</div> <div> </div> <div>Translation of Hadith: For the Hajj who is riding a camel (i.e. some means of conveyance), for every step, there are 70 virtues and for the Hajji who is on foot, for every step, there are 700 virtues .</div> <div> </div> <div>Translation of Hadith: When you meet a Hajji who has returned from Hajj, you first greet him with Salaam and shake hands and before that Hajji goes into his (or her) own house, request him (or her) to enter your house first, as the sins of that person have been forgiven .</div> <div> </div> <div>Hadhrat Fudhail bin Ayaaz (May Allah shower His mercy on him) said: you should not go to the divine Mecca with Haraam and/or doubtful money. With Allah Ta'ala, returning even a single dime of Haraam money, which one has gotten is better than five Hajj which you have performed from Haraam and/or doubtful money .</div>
