Secrets of Hajj

Undoubtedly, great and extraordinary prizes that have been mentioned in above news and other cabbalas, also hard penalties that have been mentioned for renouncing that in holy Quran and Islamic cabbalas are because of secrets and important philosophies that this great Islamic worship has.

Holy Quran says in a short and meaningful sentence about Hajj that:

لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنافِعَ لَهُمْ.

( Encourage people to perform Hajj )in order to see great benefits that are for them!" ١

These benefits are so much and have been pointed to them in cabbalas of Masoomin( infallibles )) a. s. (, for instance:

١- Culturing the souls, purifying of ethics and strengthening the bases of virtue and purity; the sentence which had been mentioned in above Ahadith that accepted Hajj causes a person to exit his sins like the day that he was born, is a clear proof for influence of Hajj on purity of heart and happiness of the souls and removing the effects of sins of a lifetime; albeit this great moral and intellectual benefit gains whenever pilgrims of Bait Allah al- Haraam( sacred house of Allah )notice carefully to the secrets of acts and rites that they do, in order that each step that they wend to be a step to Allah and real worshiped and loved one and this great and meaningful worship becomes like a" rebirth" for them.
