Some lame excuses people use for not going to Hajj
Hajj which is the Fifth Pillar of Islam , we find ways how to postpone it or simply ignore it.
Excuse # 1:
I am too busy with Work
Excuse # 2:
I am not spiritually ready
Some people say I am not spiritually strong, I am not much of a believer and thus not ready to go or they say I think I should only do Hajj when I have figured out Salah and Zakah and I am practicing Islam fully...
Excuse # 3:
Excuse # 4:
When Allah wants me to come, Allah will call me
Excuse # 5:
Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said, "(The performance of) 'Umra is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise ." [(Agreed Upon); Saheeh Bukhaari, Volume 3, Book 27, Number 1; Saheeh Muslim, Book 007, Number 3127]
Excuse # 6:
It takes too long
To them I want to say, planning is everything. If you plan from now for Hajj next year, you can save up your vacation time and use it for the most important journey of your life. Or you cam just choose an express Hajj package (about 10-14 days). And remember that the stay in Medinah is not a part of Hajj.
Excuse # 7:
Excuse # 8:
This is also just a way of procrastination and nothing else. Remember that hajj is an obligation in Islam. It is fardh (obligatory) upon you. If you have the means and you have not yet done your obligatory hajj, the scholars say that it is better for you to do Hajj, rather than delaying it if your kids are young.
Beware of Lame Excuses
And it is Only Allah Who grants success. May Allah Exalt the mention of His slave and Messenger Muhammad, and render him, his household and companion safe from Evil!
