Commentary
It was a tradition in
the Arabs during the times of ignorance that whenever they used to proceed for
performing Pilgrimage, they did not take the requisites of the journey, used to
go Penniless and beg from the people in the pathway. It was considered sign of
grandeur near to them. Even some people used to spend lavishly their entire
capital at the time of departing for Pilgrimage. They had invented this false
practice themselves intentionally. Anyhow; it was not the part of worship. This
thing is Not acceptable to God Almighty because doing so, others have to suffer
burden.
God Almighty
commanded: Make provision for yourselves (amount for your necessities of the
Hereafter) at the time of proceeding for the Pilgrimage. You shouldn’t put your
burden upon any other. Allah Almighty knows your intentions and minds. He
doesn’t like apparent exhibition and formed purity. So if you will bring the
provisions for journey, it is neither a sin and nor against the righteousness.
There is no doubt in
it that the real thing is “to ward off evil” that is to say; keeping away
naturally from the badness and being inclined towards the goodness, so we
should fear God Almighty always.
To ward of evils means
that we should obey entire Commandments of God Almighty with full sincerity,
honesty and obedience. Every work should be performed for His pleasure. In
every trouble, pain, calamity, distress or misfortune, only He should be
supposed as The Supporter and only He should be called for salvation. He should
also be thanked in ease and comfort. Every work should be started and finished
with His (God Almighty) name. We should seek His help in all fields of life.
Only the lawful ways should be chosen for deciding all matters and should
refrain from the forbidden. We should keep in view the fear of God Almighty
every time.
It is the “ward off evil” about which we have
been instructed again and again in the Holy Qur’an, because it is
very important in the life of a Muslim. The human life is filled with
hopelessness, distress and failure due to forgetting it. So the mankind should
try every time to attain perfection in the “Fear of God Almighty” (Taqwaa).
The Pilgrimage is the best source to produce Taqwaa in oneself.
