Friday Sermon: The Importance of Sincere Intention in Hajj Worship

In the Friday sermon titled 'Going to Hajj in the Holy Land with a Pure Heart', four important points were shared for prospective Hajj pilgrims. First, Hajj must be performed with the singular intention of worshipping Allah SWT, not for tourism or social agendas. Second, Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam that is obligatory for Muslims who are able, as stated by Allah in Surah Ali Imran verse 97. Third, the importance of purifying one's heart and correcting one's intention before departing for the Holy Land. Fourth, it was reminded that those who go for Hajj not for worship will face losses, such as missing the spiritual value of the act, wasting material sacrifices, and not receiving forgiveness for sins. This sermon emphasizes that all deeds depend on their intentions, as narrated in a hadith by Bukhari. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/khutbah-jumat-meluruskan-niat-ibadah-haji
