The Effects of Hajj as Seen by the Infallible Imams

Someone asked Imam Bagher (AS) : Why Hajj has been named " The Hajj of God's House"? Imam said: It means that the pilgrim has reached salvation.
Imam Ali Ibn Hossain Zeinol Abedin (AS) says: perform Hajj and Omreh rituals in order to be safe and sound, to make it better living for your family and make a better life.
Imam Ali Ibn Hossain Zeinol Abedin (AS) says: Pilgrim of God's House will be forgiven, and he is entitled to go to heaven and his family and  possesions will be safe and immune.

The prophet of God (p.b.u.h) stated: Everyone who wants the world and the hereafter should perform hajj rituals. Abdollah Ibn Fazl says: « I said to Imam Sadegh (AS) that I have too many debts, I have a big family and I can't afford the Hajj costs. Teach me a prayer. Imam stated: Say after each obligatory prayer: "May the blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny, and pay my debts in this world and the hereafter. "

I said to him, " I know what the worldly debts are but what are the debts of the hereafter? " He said: "Hajj". The prophet of God (p.b.u.h) looked at the strings of camels taking Hajis to the pilgrimage of God's House and said: They don't take steps unless it is taken as a good deed, they don't take steps unless it vanishes a sin of them. And when they finish their ceremony of Hajj, they will be told: "You have made a building, don't destroy it. Your sins are forgiven. From now on, do good deeds. »

Imam Bagher ( P ) said : Everyone completing a recitation of the Holy Quran in Mecca won't die unless he sees the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and his own place in the Heaven.

Imam Sadegh (AS) said: The best ways to pray God include silence and going to His House.
Imam Bagher (AS) said: God does not accept the Hajj and Omreh whose costs have been paid for through illegal means property. (Religiously prohibited) It's been narrated from Isaac Ibn Ammar that Imam Sadegh (AS) said: O Isaac, everyone who circumambulates God's House one time, God writes down 1000 good deeds for him, vanishes 1000 of his sins, gives him 1000 rewards, plants 1000 trees fro him in Paradise, gives him mercifully the recompense for delivering 1000 slaves.

When he reaches "Moltazem", 8 doors of Heaven open and he is told: "Enter whichever door you wish". Isaac said: "I said to Imam that all of those are for a person who just circumambulates God's House"? Imam stated: "Yes. Wouldn't I teach you a bigger recompense? " I said: "Please, teach me. " He said: "Everyone who does something for his faithful brothers, God will give him the recompense of 10  circumambulations."
Imam Bagher (AS) said: One prayer in the Masjid-ul-Haram is 100000 times more valuable than one prayer in any other mosques.

Imam Sadegh (AS) said: The most Favorable place for prayer to God Almighty is Saay. (That is a holy place in Mecca) . Because there every stubborn and proud person becomes meek.
Imam Sadegh (AS) said to Ibn-Abi-Yafour: Pray very much in the Prophet's mosque, for praying in this mosque is equal to same 1000 prayers in other mosques, except Masjed -ul- Haram that same prayers in this mosque is equal to same 1000 prayers in the Prophet's mosque. Imam Sadegh (AS) said: Someone who visits a Hajj pilgrim and shakes hands with him, it is as if he has touched the Hajar-ol-Asvad.

Imam Sadegh ( P ) says regarding " Ramye- Jamarat " : With every stone that a Haji throws at Jamarat, a big fatal sin is vanished from his soul.
Imam Ali ibn Hossain (AS) says: When Haji sacrifices in the desert of Mena (that is a place near Mecca) , his sacrifices will be the price of his freedom from the fire of the Resurrection Day. The sixth Imam (AS) says: As one of you perform Hajj and finish it with the pilgrimage to Medina, that pilgrimage is the sign of Hajj's completion.

Imam Sajjad (AS) says: A person, who accepts responsibility for the family and financial matters of a Haji, has the same reward as a Haji has himself. It is even as if he has performed Hajj himself.

Imam Sadegh (AS) says: Religion will be living so long as Kaaba is living.
Imam Bagher (AS) says: Respect people who had performed Hajj and Omreh, because you are obliged to respect them.

The Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h) has been quoted a saying: What is meant by obligatory prayers; Hajj rituals and other rituals is toremember God, so what is the use of verbal praise whelming your mind, you don't think of the greatness of Allah. 

Imam Sadegh (AS) says: People who do Hajj and Omreh are justified to God. God will grant them whatever they have asked. If they pray he willaccept, if they intercede, He will accept and if they remain silent, He himself begins to give them generously His favor and He grants themand instead of each derham, He will grant them thousands of derhams.

Imam Sadegh (AS) says: Hajis who return from God's House appear in three categories: One group are those who are free from fire of Hell.One group who are purified of their sins as if they are born again. The third group are the people who come back with the guarantee of theirfamilies and properties, and this is the least a Haji enjoys.
Imam Sadegh (AS) says: When you decide to go to Hajj, free your heart from anything that may keep you away from God.

The great Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h) says: In 4 occasions the doors of sky are opened and prayers will be accepted ; on the occasion ofcoincidence of the rows of fighters in the cause of God, when it rains and in the time of getting up for saying prayers and at the time of looking at the great Kaaba.

Imam Bagher (AS) says: There are three things that are headed by God. His book, which is His order and light. His House which is the kiblah(that is the direction to which Muslims turn in praying) and He just accepts full attention to this direction and the Etrat (that is the household of the Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h) ).

Imam Sadegh (AS) says: God has provided 120 types of blessings around Kaaba, 60 of these blessings will be given to circumambulatores, 40 of them will be given to prayers and 20 ofthese blessings will be for people who look at Kaaba.

Regarding settlement in Arafat Imam Bagher says: none of good and wicked people would settle on the Arafat's mountain unlessGod accepts their prayers ; the chastes benediction for the mundane and afterlife matters will be accepted but the wicked prayers will beaccepted just for their mundane matters. A man asked Imam Sadegh (AS) in Masjid- ul- Haram: Who commits the greatest sins? Imamsaid: "Someone who settles in Arafat and Mashar, and he does the ceremony of Saay between the mountains of Safa and Marveh, and circumambulates around the God's House, then he prays at the back of the Maghame Ibrahim (AS) but doubts whether God forgives him ornot.

This person commits the greatest sin."
Imam Hossain ibn Ali (AS) says: Shake hands with Hajis and the people whom have performed the Hajj rituals and Omreh and salute thembefore they make sin.

Imam Sadegh (AS) : No place is more favored by God except the place of running (Masaa) because there is where any selfish or cruel person will be humiliated and disrespected.
Imam Ali (AS) : Don't you see that the Glorious God ever since Adam's time till the end of the world has tested people with rocks that areuseless as well as harmless, blind as well as deaf, and with all his respect, built them into a place where people gather round.

Then, it was placed in the most rocky, plantless, and harrow canyon which was between the toughest mountains, hottest pebbles, and waterlesssprings that was very far from plains, somewhere no camel, horse, cow, or sheep could grow fat. If the Glorious God with all his respect were to place his home and the Hajj's ceremonial place somewhere else that was in the middle of gardens, springs, plains full of trees, fruit, and close houses and villages, and where fields full of wheat, gardens full of flowers, fine land and sure enough however simple the examination is, the reward will be little.

Imam Sadegh (AS) in answer to Hesham the son of Hekam 's question about the reason of achieving the Hajj ceremony and circumambulating the Kaaba, replied: God created humans, andcommanded them to obey the religion and what's best for them in this world and placed Hajj to join his people from the east and west of the world (and so that they get to know what each other are up to) and so that the merchants that take goods from town to town would profit. And so that leaders and the camel keepers would gain something as well.

And also so that the God's Messenger's traces would be known and his words would not be forgotten. If every tribe or person were to settle in his / her own city or land, they would banish, and their cities would be destroyed, they would have a financial decrease, and everything would be kept silent, this is the true reason of Hajj.

Imam Bagher (AS) : Hajj is peaceful for the soul.
Imam Sadegh (AS) : I've never seen anything remove and replace poverty with wealth as fast as continuously going to the pilgrimage of God's home.
Imam Sajjad (AS) : The right of Hajj for you is to know that through this you enter your God's bounders and you turn to him instead of sinning, and because of this your sorrow is accepted and you have achieved what God has asked you to do.

Imam Bagher (AS) : Having complete Hajj is like meeting with the Imam.
Imam Kadhim (AS) : Following the verse: Whoever is blind in this world is also blind in the second world and even more mislead. ImamKadhim (AS) commented: That's someone who postpones the required Hajj and keeps saying I'll go this year, I'll go next year until he / she finally dies, and we warp their body and keep eyes of people.

Abdur Rahman the son of Kosair: I went to Hajj with Imam Sadegh (AS) and on the way; his excellency went on a high mountain and lookedat people from up there and said: There's so much commotion and so little Hajis. 

Imam Bagher (AS) : Whoever comes to pilgrimage this house is not accepted if he/she doesn't have these three traits: 1. Self-restraintfrom sinning. 2. Forbearance to control his / her anger with. 3. Treating his / her companions properly.

Imam Sadegh (AS) : If someone goes to the pilgrimage of God's home with religiously prohibited money, and says, " Oh my Lord, I 'mhere (Labake) (In return) he'll /she'll hear: No, you are not here and no you are not worthy. And if someone goes to the pilgrimage of God'shome with religiously legitimate money will hear: You are here and you are worthy.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (AS) said: Whoever goes to Hajj with religiously prohibited money, then says: I'm here, oh God,I'm here (Labake Allahomma Labake) God will answer: No, you are not here and no your Hajj should be of your own.

Imam Sadegh (AS) : There are two kinds of Hajj: Doing the duties of Hajj for God and doing the duties of Hajj for people, whoever goes to Hajjfor God, is rewarded with heaven, and whoever goes to Hajj because of people, on the Judgement Day, his / her reward will be givento those people.

Imam Sadegh (AS) : Whoever dies on the way to Mecca or coming back from Mecca will be rid of fright, fear, and nervousness on the Judgement Day.
Imam Sadegh (AS) : Whoever dies while wearing the pilgrimage's garb, will later rise saying I'm here (Labake) .

Imam Sadegh (AS) : Regarding the verse (And whoever reaches there is safe) said, Any human that enters the Holy Shrine and turns to it is safe from God's anger and if any kind of animal or bird enters, they should not be annoyed or forced out until it has left the Shrine itself.

Imam Sadegh (AS) : People lose their Imam but his excellency is present in the Hajj ceremonies and sees people, but people don't see him.
