Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh) stated:
« تَمامُ الحَجّ لِقاءُ الإمامِ ».
“What perfects Hajj, is to see Imams (pbu th).
In fact, people must come to these stones (Kaʿbah) 1 and circumambulate around them.
Then they are expected to come to us, inform us if they obey Wilāya 2and announce if they will help us.
Prophet Ibrāhīm (pbuh) did not ask God to incline people`s heart to Kaʿbah.
But, he (pbuh) asked [God] people to incline them to his descendants.
Yes! Paying attention to the Imam [Imam Mahdī (mgehr)], supporting and obeying him are [some] of the philosophies of Hajj.
[O, Imam Mahdī (mgehr)!]There is no insight in ‘Arafah 4, and no wisdom in al-Mashʿar 3 without you!
Ramī al-jamarāt 5 does not clash to Iblis [Satan] without [Following] you.
If you are not beside Zamzam [well] 6, it doesn’t look the particular water but mirage!!
Hajj is not just to circumambulate and Bend and straighten up!
But, it is expected to be a world mobilization to combatting Iblis and anyone who acts like Iblis.
و أتِمُّوا الحَجَّ وَ العُمرَةَ لِلّه… ] بقره ]
