Sheikh Dr. Aziz bin Farhan Al Anzi, member of the Board of Trustees of Al Qasimia University, confirmed that Hajj is one of the greatest obligations, being the fifth pillar of Islam, he added that Hajj has many virtues, and its blessings are invaluable.
Al Anzi indicated that those Muslims who intend to perform Hajj, before moving to the holy places must have pure intention towards God Almighty, and must learn the provisions of Hajj, as every obligatory act of worship requires knowledge.
Speaking exclusively to "Sharjah 24", Sheikh Dr. Aziz bin Farhan Al Anzi said that one of the most important duties is to choose good and righteous companions, because it helps in obedience and worship. He added that the Muslim should choose the Hajj companion that helps to perform the accepted Hajj, because the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Alternate between Hajj and Umrah; for those two remove poverty and sins just as the bellows removes filth from iron, gold, and silver - and there is no reward for Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur except for Paradise."
Sheikh Dr. Aziz bin Farhan Al Anzi explained that the right Hajj is the one in which there is no sin, and it is in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “Take your Hajj rites from me,” noting the need for a person to ask the people of knowledge, in case a matter or question arises, and the pilgrim must return to the scholars. He added that by the grace of God Almighty, Hajj procedures have been facilitated in the holy places, and the competent authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provide all means of assistance to the pilgrims, including the provision of a large number of scholars for advice and guidance.
In conclusion, Sheikh Dr. Aziz Farhan Al Anzi stressed the need for the pilgrim, after completing the pilgrimage, to make good deeds and obedience, including the remembrance of God Almighty.
