Literal Meaning of Hajj: Complete Explanation
Literal Meaning of Hajj ~ Hi all readers! In this article, I will explain one of the important things about Hajj. But I don't mean the laws of Hajj. One important thing about Hajj that I mean is the literal meaning of Hajj. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you have to read it to the end.
Specifically, there are four important points about the literal meaning of Hajj which I will explain here. The four important things I mean are as follows:
Why is the Explanation of the Literal Meaning of Hajj Important?
The first important thing about the literal meaning of Hajj that I will explain here is "why is an explanation of the literal meaning of Hajj important?". I want to explain that so that you have a complete understanding of the literal meaning of Hajj, and so that you have a logical reason to understand it.
One important thing I want to make clear before I explain why an explanation of the literal meaning of Hajj is important. If we read some language literacy, then we will understand that there is a difference in the meaning of one word if it is understood in various forms. Likewise, the word "Hajj" if understood in Arabic and Islamic law. This change in meaning will give a different understanding to someone who reads it.
That is the simple reason why an explanation of the literal meaning of Hajj is important.
Literal Meaning of Hajj in Arabic
The second important point about the literal meaning of Hajj which I will explain here is its literal meaning in Arabic. Why? The answer is because the word Hajj (الحِجُّ) comes from Arabic. So, we have to understand the word in its Arabic context first if we want to have a complete understanding of it.
Specifically, the literal meaning of Hajj in Arabic is as follows:
قَصْدُ الشَّيْءِ الْمُعَظَّمِ
Go to something great.
So, if we think of something as a great thing, then, linguistically, what we are doing is Hajj.
Literal Meaning of Hajj in Islamic Law
The third important point about the literal meaning of Hajj which I will explain here is its literal meaning in Islamic law. We must understand that before we understand the meaning of Hajj in Islamic law.
Specifically, the literal meaning of Hajj in Islamic law is as follows:
قَصْدُ بَيْتِ اللهِ الْحَرَامِ لِأَدَاءِ مَنَاسِكَ مَخْصُوْصَةٍ
Go to Baitullah al-Haram to perform some special rituals.
So, the literal meaning of Hajj in Islamic law is a general explanation of what Hajj is.
Meaning of Hajj in Islamic Law
The fourth important point about the literal meaning of Hajj which I will explain here is the meaning of Hajj in Islam. For me, the explanation is related to the explanation of the literal meaning. You have to understand Hajj in Islamic law so that you have a complete understanding of the meaning of Hajj.
Specifically, the meaning of Hajj in Islamic law is as follows:
زِيَارَةُ مَكَانٍ مُعَيَّنٍ، فِيْ زَمَنٍ مُعَيَّنٍ، بِنِيَّةِ أَدَاءِ مَنَاسِكَ الْحَجِّ بَعْدَ الْإِحْرَامِ لَهَا
Going to a certain place at a certain time in order to perform the rituals of Hajj after Ihram.
What is meant by a certain place in the explanation of the meaning of Hajj in Islamic law is the Kaaba and Arafah. While what is meant by a certain time is in the months of Shawal, Dhul Qadah, and Dhul Hijjah.
All readers! That is an explanation of the literal meaning of Hajj. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
I think that's enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.
