What Are The Moral Benefits Of Hajj?
Answer:
The Muslims who gather round the “Baiet-ul-Laah بیت اللہ” (the House of Allaah Kareem) reaching there from the four corners of the earth facing and braving the toils of journey and vagaries of the seasons meet with and become aware of one another's condition and problems.
The Haaji is required to be the quintessence of virtue, peace, self-control and self-sacrifice during the Hajj days.
He must eschew quarreling with and troubling others and even killing an ant (if it happens to find its way on one's person or Ehraam. Even games of the land are unlawful for him.
The Holy Quran says:
(There should be no expression of carnal desires before women nor any sin nor quarreling with anyone during Hajj days)
How explicit and clear-cut this command is that there should be no expression of carnal desires directly or metaphorically.
In the state of “Ihraam” lawful hobbies like games of the land are forbidden let alone sins and disobedience.
Argument, altercation and scuffle that generally take place on such occasions are also forbidden even rebuking one's own servant.
This standard of inward and outward purification set by Islam for worship is so lofty that it has not only impressed and won over the hearts of the believers but also the disbelievers.
