HAJJ
By Mymona Hendricks

This sacred journey we undertake
Is purely done for Allah's sake,
But when to Makkah Muslims go
They must have the means you know
And the Hajj will have more benefit
For Pilgrims who are physically fit.

They'll see the Ka'bah or Baitullah,
Which is the Qibiah in our Salah,
They will wear Diram you see,
Make Tawafand perform Sa'i,
Which are rituals they must make
While the Hajj they undertake.

And at Arafat they will meet,
Despite the blazing sun and heat,
And the Hajj reaches its peak
While Allah's Mercy pilgrims seek,
No matter what their colour or race,
To seek His pleasure and His Grace.

So much there is to learn and see
When Muslims display such unity.
They who come from near and far
And it doesn't matter who they are
As long as Allah is their goal
And they purify their soul.

Remember too, right from the start,
Virtues of each Rukn form part
Of the Hajj in all its essence,
Not to mention all the lessons
And the blessings without measure
That we get by the Almighty's pleasure.
