the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains
security. And Hajj to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to

8. Hajj
is a process for
reprogramming
the soul !!
The NLP scientists say that what makes human
exhausted is the tremendous amount of problems and
worries and the best way to rebalancing is to empty the
accumulated negative charges. How can it be done?

9. .. Hajj
is the shortest
way to restore
!!the balance
From 1400 years, religion of Islam guided us to the
right way to restore our balance and to empty all
accumulated negatives. We should not know what is
behind orders of Allah but when we know, our faith
.increases…it is the magnificent worship of the Hajj

10. Hajjis the
dream of all
!!believers
The journey of Hajj has many hardships and fatigue but it is the
dream of all believers because of the tremendous peace of soul
that pilgrim gets after pilgrimage. What is the secret behind this
psychological peace of mind? the answer is simple as in that
worship and if believers performed it in the right way it empty the
negative charges and recharge the body with positive charges.

11. A method
to increase
livelihood!!
Prophet Mohamed peace be up on him urges us to repeat
hajj if possible as he says:” keep performing hajj and
Umrah because both of them erase poverty and sins and
the only reward for the accepted hajj by Allah is entering
heaven ”{narrated by Ibn Hiban}.
This journey recharge power of the body so that it makes
people work harder which increase the livelihood and
eliminates poverty.

12. Power
of
!!The black stone
The emitted power by the black stone is magnificent.
Hence, getting closer to or kissing that stone gives you a
huge power and you feel that immediately.
Maybe because of that the prophet used to start the
circumambulation around Kaaba by kissing ,touching or
referring to that stone.

13. Unlimited benefits
From 1400 years , Allah Almighty told us about the gained benefits from
worship of Hajj as He Almighty says:(And proclaim to mankind the Hajj
(pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will
come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform
Hajj)*That they may witness things that are of benefit to them and mention
the Name of Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle that He has
provided for Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very
hard time ){Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse27-29}.

14. A method For treatment !!
The hajj is a treatment for many diseases as it restore the balance
of the body ,increase mental emotional and sexual activity and it
is a source of power. This journey helps you to erase the past bad
memories that prohibits you from performing worship in the
right way so it makes you back again as if you are a born baby.
Prophet Mohamed says :“ whoever performs the worship of hajj
without violation the rules of hajj like making sexual relation
(with wife or husband) and don‘t make any sins will back from
hajj exactly as a baby in the day when he or she was begotten ”

15. Why do wethrow
?Satan by stones
Steve Chandler one of the famous NlP scientists confirm that it
is important to imagine the target which you want to achieve
in your brain as it helps you to achieve that target. Hence,
when we imagine that Satan is in that area and indeed the
Satan is not there and when we throw him by stones, we
definitely will succeed to win the battle against that Satan and
we will defeat him in all battles .

16. In hajj Muslims don‘t wrangle with each others
There are many bad habits in our life such as wrangling as it is a
waste of time and effort and many Neuro-Linguistic Programming
scientists advice us to reduce wrangling as possible.
One of them is DR. Richard Carlson who says: ”don‘t wrangle as it
cause antagonizing with other people”.
Allah Almighty says concerning this matter: (For Hajj are the
months well known. If any one undertakes that duty therein, Let
there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the Hajj.)
{Sûrat the cow-verse197}.
Isn‘t a clear evidence that all rules of hajj are identical with today‘s
advices by scientists and researchers?

17. Harmonywith universe
Millions of pilgrims are moving anti clock Millions of stars are moving anti clock wise
wise around the Kaaba around the center of a galaxy
Everything in this universe is moving at the same direction from
left to right (Anti clock wise).
Electrons around nucleus, planets around sun, stars around galaxy
and pilgrims around the Kaaba, all of those are moving in the same
direction from left to right.
So that all universe are in harmony with each others.

18. Secrets of number
seven
Allah Almighty has created seven heavens and of the
earth the like thereof (seven), days of the week are
seven, layers of the atom are seven ,number of doors of
hell are seven and pilgrims are circumambulating seven
times around Kaaba. Also the word Qiblah (prayer
direction) was repeated seven times in Qur‘an……..
Glory to Allah!!!!

19. The word Qiblah was repeated seven times the same
as number of circumambulation around kaaba and
also the same as number of rounds between Al-Safa
and Al-Marwah…Glory to Allah!! !
1.(The fools (pagans, hypocrites, and Jews) among the people will say,
"What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah [prayer direction
(towards Jerusalem)] to which they were used to face in prayer."){Sûrat Al-
Baqarah-verse142}.
2.(And We made the Qiblah which you used to face, only to test those who
followed the Messenger){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse143}.
3.(Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah that shall please you.){Sûrat Al-
Baqarah-verse144}.
4.(And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) all the Ayat (proofs, evidences ,etc.), they would not follow
your Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145}.
5.(nor are you going to follow their Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse145}.
6.(And they will not follow each other's Qiblah){Sûrat Al-Baqarah-
verse145}.
7.(and make your dwellings Qiblah){Sûrat Yûnus-verse 87}.

Physicians believe that long walking helps in curing colon
cancer,treatment of back pains and increase concentration. Allah
says about Hajj:(That they may witness things that are of benefit to
them.){Sûrat Al-Hajj-verse 28}. This verse was descended in a time
when people in Europe were believing that Hajj is a kind of torment
for people and there is no gained benefit from it.

22. ARAFAT…
Place of
contemplation !!
Scientists confirm that contemplation is a cure for worries and they
consider it as a magnificent strategy to reorganize the mechanism
of the body to eliminate all psychological disorders. Contemplation
helps body to sleep well and to enhance the ability of creativity and
problem solving. Also contemplation increases the process of
emitting some chemical matters in brain that prolong life.
People in Arafat stand and sit for hours while contemplating and
supplicating to Allah.

23. The power of
!!! Zamzam
The well of Zamzam is the oldest well in the world.
Scientifically, it was proved that the water of Zamzam is free from
viruses or bacteria and also it was proved that this water heals
from Incurable diseases and there are many cases of people who
were ill by diseases and medicine was unable to treat them but
when they came for Hajj or Umrah with a sincere intention and
after drinking from Zamzam and with supplication to Allah , He
Almighty treated them from these diseases.

24. Zamzam

Zamzam water is rich with minerals and it is alkalinity water
so it reduce stomach‘s Acidity and it can heal many diseases
especially rheumatic pains.
It is worth to remind you that millions of people drinks from

Isn‘t a miracle?!

25. !!!The willpower
DR/ Chandler one of the NLP scientists say that you must
.train your will the same as you train your muscles
In the holy journey of Hajj there are many life experiments
as it contains travel, abstraction form all pleasures of life,
risks caused by crowed ,Austerity , asceticism and humiliation
for Allah Almighty.

26. In Hajj you
gets a lot of learning
Hajj is a good practical lesson for many things and also to
learn new things. Dr. Murphy one of the NLP scientists
says "try to learn a new thing every day so that you will
always have an active brain ”
In Hajj ,the pilgrim learns discipline concerning the
appointments as he or she must be at the right time to
perform all ceremonies of the Hajj.

27. !!…Change

is performing this great worship and obeying Allah‘s order in all phases of Hajj.
All of that provides them by great energy which is resulted from the spiritual
atmosphere and the peaceful attitude of people(no wrangling in Hajj) as we
believe that this huge group of people provides each other by a tremendous
energy.
But how does it happen?
Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him gives us a nice example about that as he
says” the like of the good friend and the bad one as the one who holds perfume
and the one who blow in fire to purify iron from blots as when you sit beside the
first one you may buy from him a perfume or the good smell may stick on you and

believer with a magnificent power which is resulted from
circumambulation around Kaaba, long walking between Al Saffa and
Al Marwa , prayers, throwing Satan by stones, stand in Arafat and
move between many places.

this holy journey renewed their spiritual activity and
increased morals. What a great benefits!!!!
The prophet peace be upon him says about this worship:
“and the only reward for the accepted hajj by Allah is
