In this series of short interviews with Shaykh Abbas Virjee, the spiritual functions and underlying inner principles of the Hajj rites are discussed. Through the series, the parallels between the Hajj pilgrimage and one’s spiritual journey are considered and the subtle meanings behind the physical actions of Hajj are drawn out in the light of the Qur’an and prophetic narrations.

By presenting a fresh perspective on how the Hajj can be performed purposively and by providing practical insights into how this is possible, these podcast interviews hope to enrich the listener with a deeper understanding of this monumental life experience.
