4. The Prophet Muhammad(وسلم علیہ ہللا صلی) was
once asked: ‘Which deed is the most
superior?’ He replied: ‘Belief in God and
His Messengers’. ‘After that?’ he was
asked. ‘Jihad in His way’, was the answer.
It was then asked: ‘After that’. He replied:
‘the Hajj offered with all its
requirements’. (Bukhari, No: 25)
5. • The importance and significance of Hajj (the
holy pilgrimage) can be gauged from the facts
that:
• 1. It is the fifth pillar of Islam.
• 2. It erases the past sins of the pilgrim.
• 3. It is a "Jihad" of the weak and women.
