Every pilgrim wants their Hajj to be accepted because this brings forgiveness and many rewards from Allah. Hajj Mabroor is very important in Islam because it shows the real value of the pilgrimage.
Allah says in Quran:
فِيهِ ءَايَٰتُۢ بَيِّنَٰتٞ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنٗاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَيۡهِ سَبِيلٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(Al-Imran: 97)
This shows the importance of Hajj and the promise for those who perform it.
What Is the Meaning of Hajj Mabroor in Islam?
In Islam, Hajj Mabroor means a Hajj done with good faith and obedience to Allah. It means the pilgrim’s worship is accepted, and Allah rewards them with Paradise (Jannah). The pilgrim who does Hajj Mabroor is free from past sins and gets many blessings. This accepted Hajj brings peace to the heart and closeness to Allah.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“There is no reward for Hajj Mabroor except Jannah.”
This means that Hajj Mabroor is very special reward from Allah.
What Is the Islamic Meaning of Mabroor According to Scholars?
The word Mabroor comes from Arabic word بِرٌّ which means goodness and kindness. Scholars say Mabroor means doing Hajj without any desire to show off or get praise from others. It means doing every part of Hajj sincerely and with pure intention.
Imam Nawawi explained:
قَالَ النَّوَوِيّ مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْتَصِر لِصَاحِبِهَا مِنْ الْجَزَاء عَلَى تَكْفِير بَعْض ذُنُوبه لَا بُدّ أَنْ يَدْخُل الْجَنَّة
(This means the reward for Hajj Mabroor is more than forgiveness; it guarantees entry to Jannah.)
