Importance of Hajj in Islam

In the Name of Almighty Allah

Acting according to this Risala( the book of rulings )

is rewarded and acquitted Allah willing

Qom Naser Makarem Shirazi

Hajj is one of most important pillars of Islam and it is one of greatest religious duties.

Holy Quran says in a short and meaningful sentence:

وَ لِلّه عَلَى النّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ الَيْهِ سَبيلًا.

It is on people for the sake of Allah to perform Hajj of his house, anyone who is able to undertake the journey to him.

And it says below this verse:

وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَانَّ اللّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنِ الْعالَمينَ‌

. And anyone who disbelieves( and renounces Hajj, has impaired himself ), Allah is not in need of any of his created ones in the worlds." 1
