A new book "The Etiquettes Of Visiting The Haramain Sharifain" by Shaikh ul Arab wal Ajam, Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (db) is uploaded on website. An extract from the book is as follow:
The Journey Of Haj / Umra (An Act Of Intense Love And Devotion)
The entire act of Haj / Umra is a depiction of the epitome of love, in which even the dress of the Haj / Umra has been kept similar to that of a person who is experiencing intense love. He is not permitted to wear clothing that has been sewn, just one sheet for the upper-body and one for the lower-body. Where does one who is intoxicated with love have the time and energy to worry about his clothing? Whilst in the state of Ihraam, you are not allowed to kill a lice. One is not permitted to use any fragrance or perfume, or any thing which is used to acquire cleanliness. One has to remain bareheaded and barefooted, similar to the condition of a person who is totally out of his senses. He has to wear such shoes which leaves the upper-bone of the foot exposed, just as a lover remembers nothing else besides his beloved. Allah Ta’ala has made every ritual of the Haj / Umra ceremony a depiction of extreme love. Some people are fond of showing off their status, but on the occasion of Haj / Umra, Allah Ta’ala has flattened the status of one and all. A person is far away from his home, he is deprived of the food, drink and comfort that he is accustomed to, he has to walk bare-footed, has to leave his head exposed, and after Haj / Umra he has to shave his head bald. The command of Allah Ta’ala to shave the head is symbolic of the removal of all rebellious thoughts and emotions against the commands of Allah Ta’ala.
