The Effect of Hajj on a Muslim
Hajj as a whole will inspire a Muslim to do better for themselves, God
and the community. Each event symbolises a key way on how a Muslim can
change for the better and keep on the straight path for life. Though
some Muslims will not change after coming back on Hajj, some may feel
that it was not inspiring or helpful, others may feel that they are
already the 'perfect' Muslim. Hajj has made great improvements in life
for lots of Muslims.
A good example of how Hajj might affect the life of a Muslim is
Malcolm X. He was born Malcolm Little in 1925. His father was
constantly harassed by the Ku Klux Klan and in 1931 his father was
purposely hit by a tram. When Malcolm was a teenager he began to get
involved with dangerous people, he started to sell drugs and steal. It
was 1946 when Malcolm was arrested and sentenced to eight years in
prison.
While in prison he had joined a group called the Black Muslims. They
believed that white people were the Devil and that God was black.
Malcolm left prison and went on Hajj, he realised that all kinds of
different people took part. Not only were Arabs or black people there,
white people also took part.
This shows in a letter he wrote to his wife. It said that he had been
with all types of people 'They were of all colours, from blue eyed
blondes to black skinned Africans.' He told his wife that the oneness
of the community made no separations and that all pilgrims were seen
as the same. In his letter he explained 'I have eaten from the same
plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept on the same rug while
praying to the same God - with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the
bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blonde and whose skin
was the whitest of white.' He also said 'we are truly the same because
their (white people) belief in one God had removed the white from
he is talking about.(see page 208-209). There is also the time when he had to
when describing his father. At the beginning of the story he spoke as a child
was his only living child but we knew that he has had other children "
Watching “30 Days Living as A Muslim” really did not teach me anything, but surely made me angrier. First of all I found it very offensive for someone to attempt to make most of the ignorant people in this world to comprehend what Islam, which is receiving such hatred and insult, and Muslims who are going through too many victimization just to survive and be treated equally as other followers of God’s guidance within 45 minutes. I felt ashamed and disgusting. What does it mean? If it is more than an hour, won’t people watch it? Is it too long for us to be exposed and thought about our people who are not treated fairly as human right in front of our eyes? The worse part is Dave, the man who was chose to live as an Muslim for only 30 days did not prove to us that he learned anything, did he? Dave had
