Hajj

ALEH wrote: Volume 2, Book 26, Number 595: Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers) I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed." The Prophet said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur   Salam Alaikoam We can make Hajj to our lives, our families, communities, Nations, World and Mecca or what ever place a person deems to be Holy.

Aleh, right when I think I have seen the craziest, lunatic interpretations of Islam, you out do yourself. No, there is no such ideas about Hajj that you are conveying, and your beliefs are heretical, and deviated. With all of the fringe, feel good new age movements such as eckankar, you have to pick my faith to not only claim as your own, but impose nutty persoanl ideas onto that are not a part of the faith. You are misrepresenting Islam, and preaching ideas that are deviant, and not found in Islam. Hajj is not some new age feel good journey, it is a serious religous obligation for those who are healthy enough, and can afford it. Instead of preaching absolute nonsense about it and attaching cheap dime store attributes to it, why don't you actually study it with someone of knoweldge, or else look to one of the "new age" faiths that already teach your deviated ideas as truth. That way, the faith is already set up for your personal assumptions and "feelings", and you do not have to molest its basic tenents ( like Islam) to fit your delusion.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 857:

Narrated Um Kulthum bint Uqba:

That she heard Allah's Apostle saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar."

I know what Hajj is sister, I am just sharing what I think Hajj can also be not disrespect to Islam of Mohammed PBUH.

We are allowed our opinions and beliefs and just because something has been spoken of a certain way does not mean it cannot be thought of in a new way.

Some people really have to make a sacride Hajj or Pilgrimage to their lives because they have many things wrong in their lives that need correcting or assistance with them, I think this is a positive way to get them to look more closely at their lives and see where they/we can get the Education, Counseling and Consultation.

I have studied Islam at University, have read the whole Quran and many many hadeaths so I understand about the workings of Islam I feel moved to share my opinions and beliefs of Islam just to give a new or different perspective than some of the older views.

Actually Hajj is about purification of the mind, body and soul and it is within keeping of Hajj to recieve Education, Counseling and Consultation to prepare yourself for Hajj or Pilgrimage.

I do not write to confuse anyone just show other people have different views about the same subject and that is okay.

After all that is how we learn and grow if we didn't we would not have all the technological and medical break throughs we have had.  Nor literary excellence as well.

As a Muslim first I am free to share my beliefs and opinions and we are all free to do that.

Besides people living in fear of expressing their opinions or beliefs is no way to live.
