willingness to visit this holy place as Allah

The first House appointed for Mankind !!
Allah Almighty Says (Verily, the first House (of
worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah
(Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for
Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns) In it are
manifest signs (for example), the Maqam (place)
of Ibrahim (Abraham) whosoever enters it, he
attains security. And Hajj to the House (Ka'bah)
is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who
can afford the expenses and whoever denies Hajj
then Allah stands not in need of any of the
'Alamin.) Sûrat Al-Imrân-verse96-97.

Hajj is a process for reprogramming the soul !!
The NLP scientists say that what makes human
exhausted is the tremendous amount of problems
and worries and the best way to rebalancing is to
empty the accumulated negative charges. How can
it be done?
9
Hajj .. is the shortest way to restore the
balance!!
From 1400 years, religion of Islam guided us to
the right way to restore our balance and to empty
all accumulated negatives. We should not know
what is behind orders of Allah but when we know,
our faith increasesit is the magnificent worship
of the Hajj.
10
Hajj is the dream of all believers!!
The journey of Hajj has many hardships and
fatigue but it is the dream of all believers
because of the tremendous peace of soul that
pilgrim gets after pilgrimage. What is the secret
behind this psychological peace of mind? the
answer is simple as in that worship and if
believers performed it in the right way it empty
the negative charges and recharge the body with
positive charges.
11
A method to increase livelihood!!
Prophet Mohamed peace be up on him urges us to
repeat hajj if possible as he says keep
performing hajj and Umrah because both of them
erase poverty and sins and the only reward for
the accepted hajj by Allah is entering heaven
narrated by Ibn Hiban. This journey recharge
power of the body so that it makes people work
harder which increase the livelihood and
eliminates poverty.
12
Power of The black stone!!
The emitted power by the black stone is
magnificent. Hence, getting closer to or kissing
that stone gives you a huge power and you feel
that immediately. Maybe because of that the
prophet used to start the circumambulation around
Kaaba by kissing ,touching or referring to that
stone.
13
Unlimited benefits
From 1400 years , Allah Almighty told us about
the gained benefits from worship of Hajj as He
Almighty says(And proclaim to mankind the Hajj
(pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and
on every lean camel, they will come from every
deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to
perform Hajj)That they may witness things that
are of benefit to them and mention the Name of
Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle
that He has provided for Then eat thereof and
feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time
)Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse27-29.
14
A method For treatment !!
The hajj is a treatment for many diseases as
it restore the balance of the body ,increase
mental emotional and sexual activity and it is a
source of power. This journey helps you to erase
the past bad memories that prohibits you from
performing worship in the right way so it makes
you back again as if you are a born baby. Prophet
Mohamed says whoever performs the worship of
hajj without violation the rules of hajj like
making sexual relation (with wife or husband) and
dont make any sins will back from hajj exactly
as a baby in the day when he or she was begotten

15
Why do we throw Satan by stones?
Steve Chandler one of the famous NlP scientists
confirm that it is important to imagine the
target which you want to achieve in your brain as
it helps you to achieve that target. Hence, when
we imagine that Satan is in that area and indeed
the Satan is not there and when we throw him by
stones, we definitely will succeed to win the
battle against that Satan and we will defeat him
in all battles .
16
In hajj Muslims dont wrangle with each others
There are many bad habits in our life such as
wrangling as it is a waste of time and effort and
many Neuro-Linguistic Programming scientists
advice us to reduce wrangling as possible. One
of them is DR. Richard Carlson who says dont
wrangle as it cause antagonizing with other
people. Allah Almighty says concerning this
matter (For Hajj are the months well known. If
any one undertakes that duty therein, Let there
be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in
the Hajj.)Sûrat the cow-verse197. Isnt a clear
evidence that all rules of hajj are identical
with todays advices by scientists and
researchers?
17
Harmony with universe
Millions of stars are moving anti clock wise
around the center of a galaxy
Millions of pilgrims are moving anti clock wise
around the Kaaba
Everything in this universe is moving at the same
direction from left to right (Anti clock
wise). Electrons around nucleus, planets around
sun, stars around galaxy and pilgrims around the
Kaaba, all of those are moving in the same
direction from left to right. So that all
universe are in harmony with each others.
18
Secrets of number seven
Allah Almighty has created seven heavens and of
the earth the like thereof (seven), days of the
week are seven, layers of the atom are seven
,number of doors of hell are seven and pilgrims
are circumambulating seven times around Kaaba.
Also the word Qiblah (prayer direction) was
repeated seven times in Quran..
Glory to Allah!!!!
19
1.(The fools (pagans, hypocrites,
and Jews) among the people will say, "What has
turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah prayer
direction (towards Jerusalem) to which they were
used to face in prayer.")Sûrat
Al-Baqarah-verse142. 2.(And We made the Qiblah
which you used to face, only to test those who
followed the Messenger)Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse143
. 3.(Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah that
shall please you.)Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse144.
4.(And even if you were to bring to the people
of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) all the
Ayat (proofs, evidences ,etc.), they would not
follow your Qiblah)Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145.
5.(nor are you going to follow their
Qiblah)Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145. 6.(And they
will not follow each other's Qiblah)Sûrat
Al-Baqarah- verse145. 7.(and make your
dwellings Qiblah)Sûrat Yûnus-verse 87.
The word Qiblah was repeated seven times the same
as number of circumambulation around kaaba and
also the same as number of rounds between Al-Safa
and Al-MarwahGlory to Allah!! !

Walking is the best sport
In a published study by Harvard university ,
researchers confirmed that walking in a moderate
speed (4-5 K/H)reduce the probability of
infection by heart diseases by about 40for both
men and women. Also the study confirmed that
walking enhance breathing system, immune system ,
eliminates depression, prevent from Osteoporosis
,reduce diabetic and control overweight of people.
21
Hajj is a cure for heart diseases and diabetic!!
Scientists confirm that walking helps in curing
many chronic diseases and it is the base in
Geriatrics and prolonging life!!! Physicians
believe that long walking helps in curing colon
cancer,treatment of back pains and increase
concentration. Allah says about Hajj(That they
may witness things that are of benefit to
them.)Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse 28. This verse was
descended in a time when people in Europe were
believing that Hajj is a kind of torment for
people and there is no gained benefit from it.
22
ARAFAT Place of contemplation !!
Scientists confirm that contemplation is a cure
for worries and they consider it as a magnificent
strategy to reorganize the mechanism of the body
to eliminate all psychological disorders.
Contemplation helps body to sleep well and to
enhance the ability of creativity and problem
solving. Also contemplation increases the process
of emitting some chemical matters in brain that
prolong life. People in Arafat stand and sit for
hours while contemplating and supplicating to
Allah.
23
The power of Zamzam !!!
The well of Zamzam is the oldest well in the
world. Scientifically, it was proved that the
water of Zamzam is free from viruses or bacteria
and also it was proved that this water heals from
Incurable diseases and there are many cases of
people who were ill by diseases and medicine was
unable to treat them but when they came for Hajj
or Umrah with a sincere intention and after
drinking from Zamzam and with supplication to
Allah , He Almighty treated them from these
diseases.
24
Zamzam is a treatment for diseases
Zamzam water is rich with minerals and it is
alkalinity water so it reduce stomachs Acidity
and it can heal many diseases especially
rheumatic pains. It is worth to remind you that
millions of people drinks from this well from
hundreds of years, but water did not run out.
Isnt a miracle?!
25
The willpower!!!
DR/ Chandler one of the NLP scientists say that
you must train your will the same as you train
your muscles. In the holy journey of Hajj there
are many life experiments as it contains travel,
abstraction form all pleasures of life, risks
caused by crowed ,Austerity , asceticism and
humiliation for Allah Almighty.
26
In Hajj you gets a lot of learning
Hajj is a good practical lesson for many things
and also to learn new things. Dr. Murphy one of
the NLP scientists says "try to learn a new thing
every day so that you will always have an active
brain In Hajj ,the pilgrim learns discipline
concerning the appointments as he or she must be
at the right time to perform all ceremonies of
the Hajj.
27
Change!!
Journey of Hajj is an effective way to change the
surrounded environment as pollution in these days
cause many diseases such as cancer and Asthma
,but this holy journey makes people to breath
pure air and to purify their lungs.
28
More energy.!!
People from different nationalities are meeting
in one place for one purpose which is performing
this great worship and obeying Allahs order in
all phases of Hajj. All of that provides them by
great energy which is resulted from the spiritual
atmosphere and the peaceful attitude of people(no
wrangling in Hajj) as we believe that this huge
group of people provides each other by a
tremendous energy. But how does it
happen? Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him gives
us a nice example about that as he says the
like of the good friend and the bad one as the
one who holds perfume and the one who blow in
fire to purify iron from blots as when you sit
beside the first one you may buy from him a
perfume or the good smell may stick on you and
the other one may burn your clothes or emits bad
smellNarrated by Al Asharri.
29
The best deeds.!!!
One of the prophets companions asked him what
is the best deeds? Then the prophet answered
belief in Allah, Jihaad for the sake of Allah and
an accepted Hajj. narrated by Al- bukhari.
Performing ceremonies of Hajj in an appropriate
way provide the believer with a magnificent power
which is resulted from circumambulation around
Kaaba, long walking between Al Saffa and Al Marwa
, prayers, throwing Satan by stones, stand in
Arafat and move between many places.
30
Heaven is the reward
All people who performed that great worship
confirm that this holy journey renewed their
spiritual activity and increased morals. What a
great benefits!!!! The prophet peace be upon him
says about this worship and the only reward for
the accepted hajj by Allah is entering the
heaven narrated by Al- bukhari.
