:) Be aware all of you from laziness (al-kasal). The prophet, ^alayhi-s-salatu was-salam, said as part of his du^a': Wa^udhu bika minal^ajzi w-al-kasal. Al-^ajz means the weak endeavor in working for the Religion. It is not the weakness of the body. Many people have weak bodies, but when it comes to endeavor they are stronger than men with strong bodies. Both, weakness and laziness delay the person from reaching higher ranks.

Hajj (pilgrimage) has a special merit that other acts of obedience do not have; it clears one of all sins, enormous and small. The Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said what means: " Whoever performs Hajj without having sexual intercourse or committing enormous sins is clear of his sins, just as he was on the day his mother gave birth to him." For this special merit to hold, one's intention must be sincere to God, one's money used for Hajj must be lawful, one must refrain from sexual intercourse and one must avoid committing enormous sin while in the state of Ihram.
