"AND FEAR ALLAH AND BE SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE GATHERED BEFORE HIM." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:203)

Part 2

In a Hadith it has been said that one who returns after having completed his Hajj is so cleansed of his sins as if he was born on that day. That is why those performing Hajj have been instructed to maintain the quality of Taqwa (fear of Allah), as being one who has been purified from sins, they must take all precautions against sinning again so that they can earn the best of both the worlds, the Dunya (this material world) and the Aakhirah (the Hereafter). If a person who has been cleansed of sins after doing Hajj falls prey to sins again, then his previous cleansing of sins would not be of much use to him. Religious scholars have said that the signs of a Hajj that has been accepted by Allah Ta'alah are that such a person finds his heart free of love of Dunya (material world) and attracted to making his Aakhirah (the Hereafter) better. These are signs that a person's Hajj has been accepted, his sins have been wiped clean, and his prayers will be accepted.
