There is a mystical connection between the festival of Hajj and the concept of Resurrection in Islam, such that they seem to be the expressions of one another in different forms. No wonder why the subject of resurrection constitutes the main theme of Surah Hajj, and that mystery I have explored from a philosophical perspective in the following article.

Can you highlight here perhaps 3 of your strongest evidences for this alleged connection?

Then we can compare it to other understandings, e.g.

The rituals of Hajj festival represent an analogy to the mystical concept of resurrection as described in the Surah Hajj of Quran. The article explains that connection from a philosophical standpoint, that includes the philosophy of Socrates and Plato from the book 'The Republic', and also derives the esoteric theme of resurrection from the literature of alchemy, and the modern depiction of resurrection in the film Midsommar (2019).

Also, here is an interesting quote from a mystic Manly Palmer Hall on the subject of Resurrection.

"The ignorant man imprisons a luminous nature within his unresponsive personality. Ignorance is death; wisdom is life. Enlightenment is release. By the Resurrection, therefore, we are to understand enlightenment ascending out of ignorance, the Truth within liberated to manifest through a dedicated and purified body. When man overcomes his appetites, masters his animal impulses, perfects and redeems his heart and mind from their addictions to destructive or illusory concerns—this is the Resurrection; Truth born out of error, security rising from insecurity, God rising from the earth."

So if that's your three strongest points then I dont need to read the article, thanks.
