"The history of the ceremonies of Hajj goes back to the beginning of time for man on the earth, and will go on until the end of time. First, Adam and Eve (as) were asked to leave Paradise and descend to the earth, and they were asked to make a shrine on the earth similar to the one in the Heavens. The Shrine in the Heavens is called the Bait ul-Ma'moor, and around it the angels circumambulate and worship Allah, the most glorified, by day and by night.

The site chosen for the Shrine to be built upon was Mecca, as indicated by the Qur'an:"

"Thus was the first house of Allaah, the Kaba', built by Adam (as) with the help of the angel Jibra'el (as), who brought a stone from Paradise and embedded it in the corner of the holy Kaba' (cube). This stone was bright in the beginning, but with time it lost it's luster, and now looks black, and because of this it is called the "Black Stone" or "Hijra al-Aswad". The circumambulation of the Kaba' is started by kissing (or saluting) this Black Stone. When Adam (as) finished building the House, angel Jibra'el (as) taught him (as) the ceremonies, by the will of Allaah, of circumambulating the Kaba'. This ceremony was to be the most befitting manner to the glory of Allaah.

Adam and Eve (as) were separated in the beginning, but Allaah's mercy was invoked by Adam's (as) entreaties, and Eve was made to join him (as) at the top of a hill in the valley of 'Arafaat. This hill, since then, has been known as Jabbul ur-Rahma, the Mount of Mercy. Adam and Eve discovered and "knew" (sex) each other in the valley. It is called 'Arafaat, meaning recognition or knowledge. Today, in the fashion of Adam (as) people stand in the same valley and invoke Allaah's mercy. This is the greatest rukn, or fundamental pillar of Hajj. [this is the valley and area of Bekka]

Adam and Eve (as) spent the whole day standing in 'Arafat, in a state of extreme humility, gratitude, and awe (communion), and did nothing but worship their Creator (as they did in the Paradise before they were cast down due to their original sin). This is what is done to this day by pilgrims (who also were cast out), and is known as standing in a state of 'arif (communion), or Waquf il-'Arifat.

Adam and Eve (as) then moved to Muzdalifa, the place between Mina and 'Arafaat they spent the whole night the remembrance (dhikr) of Allaah, receiving Allaah's forgiveness. They then came to Mina, then went to Mekka to perform the circumabulation (tawaaf) of the House of the Almighty, to express their (as) gratitude to Allaah for His mercy in their reconciliation.

Later the Kaba' was destroyed by the storm during Noah's (as) time, and as time passed, only a heap remained."

Here is a study from Qur'an and tafseer, about the fall of Adam and Hawwa (as) and the explanation of how the satanic knowledge was exposed to light, thereby dispelled. Then after this enlightenment came the release through the state of 'arifa, there all the damage from the processes of darkness that were the consequences of the "original sin" were lifted, and Adam and Hawwa (as) were reconciled back to their pure states.

One must first have the intention, then gain the knowledge of Reality, then perform the remembrance of God through that manner of Reality, so that the 'arifa, the communion where God's power dispels and rewrites the tablets, becoming the salaw Allaah, true prayer that liberates the ruh from any connection to anything that the advisories intended upon us, to deprive us from our rightful human station in the Kingdom of God. May God Almighty bless us in such a manner as was given to Adam and Hawwa (as). May we have the guidance to find that path, then the courage to progress in it, as God the Highest wills for us.

The LORD forbids all kinds of worship that are not as He accepts, being fabricated lies and distorted half truths that usurp GOD's power to intend unjustified leadership. This kind of sultanate embraces "end justifies the means" (faraman bi suwa') for the kinds of worship and control that pretend to be knowledge of divinity, and it's divine command, but in fact lead to bewildering degradation, lustful seduction, and political abuse.

This condition placed upon Adam & Hawwa in the garden was not understood, but the evil adviser understood it well. So this advisor, "munsiha", sought to place his false sultanate in the earth, as the tree with the forbidden fruit is definitely the false knowledge and half truth that would temporarily usurp God's grace to be used to prove that Adam (as) was not worthy of carrying the sultanate in an unblemished way.

The verses from the Qur'an and from the sunnat dua' is quite similar. The knowledge that seems to appeal to the world, is the original knowledge of sin, the 'ammaa ta'alamu, the forbidden tree and fruit that is the driving force now in these end times, al-akhira al-zamaan.

Thank You God, the almighty,

for the guidance that You have provided through You own light, Muhammad (sal), and for Your bestowal of prayer in the form of 'arifa, a communion.

‘audhu billaahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
I seek refuge in God from shaytan, the accursed/discarded
b'ismillaah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem
by the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
inna allaahu wa malaa'ikata yasaluwna 'alaa an-nabiy.
Verily, God and the angels intercede upon the Prophet.
yaa ayyuha al-ladhiyna 'amaanu,
Oh you all, the ones believing,
salaw 'alaahi wa as-sallimu tas*leeman.
Intercede upon him, the submitting, surrendering.
