Many Muslims around the world pilgrimage to Makkah and perform Hajj and Umrah as prescribed by Allah and his Prophet (P.B.U.H). Many Muslims around the world have a common Question that is Hajj and Umrah is the state of Jihad or not?
So today I came you with an Answer to it! Yes, it a state of Jihad. Many people have a wrong concept of the Jihad! In actually the Jihad is to do something with hard work, or to do something in the way of Allah through lives and money. While Performing Hajj and Umrah a person does three type of Jihad. Those are as follow,
Jihad bin Nafs:
As we know that during Hajj and Umrah a person has to do take care about many things like he doesn't have to fight, he can’t hurt anyone, he can say flaw about anyone, he has to purify his eyes and mind and he abstains from the Physical Interaction. This is a kind of Jihad bin Nafs in which a person has to get rid of the sins and evil things. And purify himself in this way when a person is performing Umrah for Hajj he is in the state of Jihad-Bin-Nafs.
Jihad with wealth:
As we know that performing of Hajj and Umrah need a vast amount of money. When we go to Umrah and Hajj we have to spend a lot of money in bearing its expenditures so that we could perform it and make Allah Happy from us. So when we spend money to make Allah Happy in this way it is the state of Jihad through wealth.
Jihad with lives:
As we know that performing of Hajj and Umrah is not that much easy it is very difficult. A person has to work Hard in fulfilling all of its aspects. Performing Hajj and Umrah is the physical activity. Doing of Tawaf and Sai in a large number of peoples and offering Namaz walking long miles in mina and then to Arafat. It is very hard to perform Umrah and Hajj. In this way, a person is in the State of Jihad through this lives.
