Are you going to pelt the ‘effigy’ of greed with the pebble of continence whenever you are tempted by same? Are you prepared to shun situations and circumstances that would corrupt your heart, invalidate your hajj and debase your status and station in the reckoning of the Almighty? To be grateful for the ability to go to Hajj through pious living after Hajj is to merit the grace of more return to Makkah and Madinah. They know that if indeed life is a battle, then to have gone on hajj and back is to be a winner. Let us remember that successful performance of Hajj is usually accompanied by joyous celebrations and felicitations from kith and kin, from friends and family.
