Mirwaiz felicitates Haj pilgrims, urges them to hold special prayers for Kashmir
Srinagar: Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday felicitated the Haj pilgrims from Kashmir and urged them to hold special prayers for the Muslim Ummah in general and for the peace, development and prosperity in Kashmir particular.
In a statement issued Friday, he impressed upon the pilgrims to remember in their prayers the Kashmiri people, who have faced immense issues and problems since past many decades and to seek Allah’s mercy on them and end to their miseries and pain.
During the Friday gathering at the historic Jamia Masjid here, Mirwaiz while shedding light on the philosophy of Haj, stated that the pilgrimage was the fifth pillar in Islam obligatory for every Muslim who can afford the cost of journey.
He said the Haj pilgrimage should purely be for the supplication and seeking Almighty Allah’s blessings and whosoever performs Haj the way beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the sins of those people will be washed away they would become clean similar to the new born child.
Mirwaiz said that Haj also recalls the great contribution and sacrifices of Prophet Ibrahim (alaihi salam) and his son Prophet Ismail (alaihi salam) which was made obligatory in 9th Hijri of Islamic calendar and was followed as the obligation by Muslims across the world after the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Haj along with more than 15,000 companions.
Mirwaiz urged the pilgrims to remain cautious while performing the holy journey, especially Tawaaf of holy Kabah and other obligatory prayers and to ensure their Haj is done in the same way as taught by the great and revered Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Mirwaiz also prayed to Almighty Allah to provide a chance to every Muslim to perform Haj in his/her life at least once a year as that will help them to see the Allah’s house holy Kaba and also the resting place of beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madina-e-Toiba.
