About the Article
My objective in composing this small treatise is to acquaint the Jama`at and the remainder of the Muslims regarding; the compulsions of Hajj, its obligations, its sunnan, its description, the heretical innovation that has been invented in it, the secrets regarding the Hajj, the merits of the ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, the merits of the Day of `Arafaat, and visiting the grave of the Best of Creation, upon him be the best blessing and most perfect peace, as well as the graves of the Companions at Baqi`a, and Uhud, in accordance with the minhaj of the Nuur’z-Zamnan, the Mujaddid’d-Deen and Amir’l-Mu’mineen, Shehu Uthman Dan Fuduye’, may Allah engulf him in His mercy Amen.
I have also appended to this treatise the supplication for the pilgrimage called ad-Du`a’l-Mubaarik of the Qutb of Hajj, my spiritual master, Shaykh Abd’l-Qaadir al-Jayli ibn Shaykh Muhammad al-Mahi al-Bukhari al-Qaadiri, may Allah preserve him and ennoble his secret, as long as the pilgrims make tawaaf of the Sacred House. My earnest prayer is that our Sultan al-Hajj Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad Tahir, the Sultan of Sokoto al-Hajj Muhammad Sa`d and all of those who adhere to the Qaadiri Path can one day join with Shaykh Abd’l-Qaadir al-Jayli at vqcd`Arafat in fulfilling the final pillar of Islam.
