QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
2:196. And conclude the Pilgrimage and the visit for Allah. But, if you are prevented, then provide what offering is affordable; and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination. Whoever of you is ill or has an ailment to his head, then he may redeem by fasting or giving a charity or a rite. But if you are secure, then whoever makes the visit, but decides to continue until the Pilgrimage, then he shall provide what offering is affordable; but for he who cannot find anything, then he must fast for three days during the Pilgrimage and seven when he returns; this will make a complete ten - this is for those whose family is not resident at the Restricted sacred Masjid. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is severe in retribution.
[Hajj is the annual Convention in a specified time while ‘Umrah is a visit to the Masjid of Makkah any time during the year. Both have a sublime objective as the Qur’an explains, although Muslims have reduced them into mere rituals similar to the Days of Ignorance.
There is no mention of kissing the black-stone in Ka’bah, any "holiness" about the Zam Zam water, or that of throwing rocks at the three pillars signifying Satan.
Surah 105.
The Noble Objective of the Pilgrimage is to arrange regular and intermittent international conferences in Makkah. *Delegates from all over the world would get together there and devise ways to make the world a better place to live.
‘Halqirras’ = Relief of burden = Idiom for relief - ‘Imams’ Jurjani, Hasan Basari, Shehristani]
2:197. The Pilgrimage months are made known. So whoever decides to perform the Pilgrimage therein, then there shall be no sexual approach, nor wickedness, nor baseless argument in the Pilgrimage. And any good that you do, Allah is aware of it; and bring provisions for yourselves, though the best provision is righteousness; and be aware of Me O you who possess intelligence.
[Sexual intimacy, breach of discipline and argumentation would hamper mutual consultation in a focused, amicable environment. Ample provision is not meant only to avoid asking for help, but rather being able to help others. The Central Authority, any time in the Divinely ordained four Months of Peacetime should decide upon and announce the exact dates of Hajj. The current practice of “performing” the ritualistic pilgrimage only in Zilhajjah, the 12th lunar month, finds no authority in the Qur’an.
2:194. The restricted month may be met within the restricted month, and what is unlawful may be met with retaliation. Whoever attacks you, then you shall attack him the same as he attacked you; and be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is with the righteous.
9:1. A revocation is made by Allah and His messenger to those with whom you have made a pledge from among the polytheists.
Ulil albaab =Those who possess understanding, is obviously a common gender]
2:198. There is no sin on you if you seek the bounty of your Rabb . Then when you leave `Arafat, then remember Allah (by glorifying His praises) at the Mashar alHaram. And remember Allah as Allah has guided you, and verily you were before, of those who were astray.
2:199. Then depart from the place whence all the people depart and ask Allah for His forgiveness. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
2:200. So when you have accomplished your rights, remember Allah as you remember your forefathers or with far more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say: "Our Rabb! Give us from in this world!" and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.
2:201. And some of them say: "Our Rabb, give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and spare us from the retribution of the Fire."
[He does not forsake the Hereafter for this world, and this world for the Hereafter. 28:77]
2:202. These will have a benefit for what they have earned; and Allah is swift in reckoning
[Actions get their imprints stamped upon the human ‘self’ in this very life]
2:203. And remember Allah during a few number of days. Whoever hurries to two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him if he is being righteous. And be aware of Allah, and know that it is to Him that you will be gathered.
2:204. And from among the people are whose words you admire in this worldly life, but Allah is witness as to what is in his heart, for he is the worst in opposition.
[2:8-12. And from the people are those who say: "We believe in Allah and in the Last Day," but they are not believers.
*They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves without noticing.
In their hearts is a disease, so Allah increases their disease, and they will have a painful retribution for what they have denied.
And if they are told: "Do not make corruption in the land," they say: "But we are reformers!"
No, they are the corruptors, but they do not perceive.]
2:205. And if he gains power, he seeks to corrupt the earth and destroy its crops, and the lineage. Allah does not love corruption.
