When you come back from Hajj, you have been born again in the same way as those who get up for the last third of the night worshipping to ask from Allah. At that time, Allah promises to be present, a sacred time for prayer. Allah also has set a timetable for forgiveness during Hajj: The day of Arafah in the Arafat plains.
The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) narrated that on the Day of Arafah Allah descends to the lowest heaven and he boasts to the angels about the pilgrims and he forgives everyone who was there no matter what he did in the past. The revelation of the Day of Arafah is known to be the best of the Yamaan to manumit from Hellfire.
After Arafat, according to the order of Allah, the pilgrims go to Muzdalifah, and then they go to Mina, in it,hope and worship the pilgrims for nights. Mina which is the anchor for “Amniyaat” (hopes) implies surrendering all our hopes to Allah & freedom from desires of this world. It is where Allah is remembered, implored upon, and the Devil is disowned via the pebbles.
When performed for the sake of understanding the true spirit of rituals, they leave a subtle impression behind and guide us all our lives to keep Satan at… bay and never trust anyone except Allah.
We perform these rituals in their actual sense, and they affect your life. This transformation motivates one to swear off sins forever and ensures that one will ask Allah time and again for help. Hajj is not just meant to be a lesson from Arafat, and Mina.
