Hajj Mairaj e Ishq | حج معراج عشق

Hajj Mairaj-e-Ishq by Syed Ali Muhammad Naqvi is a spiritually enriching work that explores the deeper, inner dimensions of the pilgrimage of Hajj. Rather than presenting Hajj only as a set of rituals, the author reveals its profound mystical, ethical, and transformative meanings. He portrays Hajj as a sacred journey of love—a mi‘raj of the heart—through which a believer rises spiritually, purifies the soul, and renews their bond with Allah.

In this book, Naqvi explains how each step of Hajj symbolizes an inner reality: leaving one’s home reflects detachment from worldly desires; wearing Ihram signifies equality and humility; the circumambulation of the Kaaba represents the orbit of a heart that revolves solely around the Divine; Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah echoes the continuous struggle of a believer; and the standing at Arafat becomes the pinnacle of spiritual awakening and divine nearness.

The author’s style is reflective, devotional, and rooted in the intellectual tradition of Islamic spirituality. He invites readers to see Hajj not only as a duty but as a transformative encounter with the Beloved—an opportunity to revisit one’s life, renew sincerity, and return spiritually reborn.

Hajj Mairaj-e-Ishq is ideal for readers seeking to understand the hidden wisdom, love, and spiritual elevation embedded within the rites of pilgrimage. It inspires the believer to approach Hajj with a heart full of yearning, devotion, and consciousness of Allah’s presence.
