Hajj — the sacred pilgrimage to the House of Allah — is not merely a physical journey, but a spiritual transformation that renews the soul’s covenant with its Creator. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Hajj according to the Shia school of thought, exploring both its jurisprudential obligations and its profound inner meanings.
Every rite of Hajj — from Ihram to Tawaf, from Sa‘i to Arafat — carries layers of symbolism that mirror the soul’s path toward purification and nearness to Allah (swt). Through this course, learners will understand the Fiqhi rulings, the historical and spiritual context of each act, and the mystical insights shared by the Ahlulbayt (a) regarding this divine journey.
The course emphasizes that Hajj is not a ritual of movement but a journey of surrender — leaving behind ego, wealth, and worldly distractions to stand equal before the Divine. It reflects the unity of the Ummah, the remembrance of the sacrifices of Prophet Ibrahim (a), and the renewal of one’s spiritual direction.
By the end of this course, participants will gain both the practical knowledge required to perform Hajj correctly and the spiritual understanding necessary to experience its deeper purpose — returning home not merely as travelers, but as souls reborn in submission, humility, and divine love.
