Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in the verse (وَ أَذِّنْ فِی النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ یأْتُوک… ){{enote|and proclaim among men the Pilgrimage, and they shall come unto thee on foot and upon every lean beast, they shall come from every deep ravine(Quran: 22:27)}}has been tasked with inviting people to [[Hajj]], calling them to come towards him. Therefore, strengthening friendship and connection with divine leaders is considered one of the goals of Hajj.<ref>Pazhūhishkada-yi ḥajj wa ziyārat, ''Dānishnāmah-yi ḥajj wa ḥaramayn sharīfayn'', vol. 6, p. 328.</ref> In another verse, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) requests from Allah to incline the hearts of the Hajj pilgrims towards his descendants in [[Mecca]].{{enote|رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّيٓ أَسۡكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِي بِوَادٍ غَيۡرِ ذِي زَرۡعٍ عِندَ بَيۡتِكَ ٱلۡمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجۡعَلۡ أَفۡـِٔدَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهۡوِيٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱرۡزُقۡهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَشۡكُرُونَ (Our Lord, I have made some of my seed to dwell in a valley where is no sown land by Thy Holy House; Our Lord, let them perform the prayer, and make hearts of men yearn towards them, and provide them with fruits; haply they will be thankful) (Quran: 14:37)}} Some interpretations consider the term "My offspring" (ذُرِّیَّتِی) in the mentioned verse to refer to the Ahlul Bayt (AS). Another narration interprets Allah's purpose in "completing Hajj" as meeting with Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Imams (AS). This concept is emphasized in other traditions as well. The Imam (AS) is considered the spiritual essence of the Kaaba and the central axis of all Hajj rituals, achieving the essential goals of this worship. | Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in the verse (وَ أَذِّنْ فِی النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ یأْتُوک… ){{enote|and proclaim among men the Pilgrimage, and they shall come unto thee on foot and upon every lean beast, they shall come from every deep ravine(Quran: 22:27)}}has been tasked with inviting people to [[Hajj]], calling them to come towards him.

==Avoidance of Satan and Enemies of God (Tabarri)== | |||
The most important symbol of avoiding both Jinn and human devils in Hajj is the ritual of stoning the pillars. Some traditions consider the stoning ritual as an example of "casting out impurity" mentioned in the verse (ذُرِّیَّتِی). In the initial verses of Surah At-Tawbah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was commanded to disassociate from polytheists in Hajj, referring to the avoidance of human devils. | The most important symbol of avoiding both Jinn and human devils in Hajj is the ritual of stoning the pillars.
