In the name of Allah
The Conduct of the Prophet During Hajj
THE PROPHET'S CONDUCT TOWARDS HIS LORD
1. Realizing tawheed (monotheism)
2. Repudiating the mushrikoon (polytheists) and their practice
3. His excessive supplications and humility to Allah
4. Heeding Allah's limits and showing anger for His Sake
5. His devoutness and tranquility
6. Doing plenty of good deed
7. His moderation
Islam encourages Muslims to follows a middle course in all matters.
The Prophet said, "Always adopt a middle course whereby you
will reach your target"
In fact moderation was one of the salient features of his conduct during Hajj.
Two points are to be stressed in this collection:
First, the Prophet maintained a good balance between his acts of devotions on the one hand, and the
responsibility of educating and guiding Muslims as well as caring for his wives and his household on the other.
Second, he also maintained a good balance in bringing the material and the spiritual to harmony. This is very important as the awesome atmosphere may
compel many people to observe the spiritual at the expense of their physical well-being.
8. Renouncing the present life
The Prophet renounced the life of the world and rejected all that was of no benefit in the hereafter. His rejection of the present life
and yearning for the hereafter was evident during the Hajj.
THE PROPHET'S CONDUCT TOWARDS PEOPLE
1. Educating Muslim --- Note :This is only given by whomever who has 3lm ( knowledge in deen) with authentic sources
2. Giving Fatawa (religious verdicts) -- Note :This is only given by scholars who has 3lm ( knowledge in deen)
3. Preaching and admonishing
He always practiced what he preached and would be the first person to act upon an act he commanded and the first one to shun something
he prohibited. Indeed, he was the most pious, the most honest and the most obedient of all mankind.
17His preaching was clear, direct and simple. He attached more importance to the fundamental issues and general rules that are
bound to ameliorate people's religion and worldly life and cause them salvation in the Hereafter. Sometimes he would ask someone
to convey his message to others.
In his preaching he not only exhorted people against something, but also awakened their interest to do good deeds.
While preaching people around him, he tackled a host of issues and various matter
4. Training Muslims to follow the Book of Allah and His Messenger
This training took many fonns. Here are a few examples:
a. He commanded Muslims to emulate him in many places during the Hajj season. He said many times, "Learn your [Hajj] rituals from me, for 1 do not know if I could ever
perform Hajj again after this year." (107)
b. He urged Muslims in his sennon on 'Arafah Day to adhere to the Book of Allah, as this is the only way to eschew
error and misguidance. He said, "1 left with you that which, if you adhere to, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah." (l08)
c. He warned them against following their whims and desires and inventions in religion. He addressed them while riding his camel on Arafah Day,
"I will be your forerunner to the Hawdh .. .I am going to save people, and will be called upon to save people; 1 will say: "0 Lord! How about my companions?"
and He will reply, "You have no knowledge of the innovations they introduced [into religion] after your death." (l09)
d. He gave his companions a practical example to follow and warned them against exaggeration in religion. When Ibn
'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, collected seven pebbles for him and gave them to him, he said, "Use pebbles the size of these ones."
Then he said, "0 people, avoid exaggeration in religion; for those people before you
had been destroyed because of their exaggeration in religion." (110)
5. Unifying Muslims and warning them against disunity
6. His successful leadership and excellent characters
A. His good example
B. His modesty
C. His mercy
D. His kindness
E. His patience
F. His leniency
The prophet said, "Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters." (158)
He also said, "Whenever leniency is added to something, it adorns it; and whenever it is withdrawn from something, it leaves it defective." (159)
The Prophet ;i demonstrated this quality, and the Qur 'an describes him as such.
Allah says, "And it is by the [great) mercy of Allah that you are kind towards them, and if you had been rough and hardhearted,
they would surely have been dispersed from around you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them." (3:159)
THE PROPHET'S CONDUCT TOWARDS HIS FAMILY ( During time of Hajj )
1. Teaching them how to perform the Hajj ritual
