Dr Manzur AshrafOctober 2015
Sisters should be encouraged to push the process…
Aa’ishah who said: “O Messenger of Allaah, do women have to engage in jihad? He said: “Jihad in which there is no fighting: Hajj and ‘Umrah.” And because women are not able to fight because they are (physically) weak.
From al-Mughni, 9/163. Ahmad (25361) and Ibn Maajah (2901); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah.
Preparation
• Read/hear books/lectures, Talk to expert or Hajis who performed Hajj before (Few months before..)
• Bangla book: Hajj & Umrah• Ismail Davis: Making the best out of Hajj (I
attended his long day-workshop)• Khutbatul Haram (bangla): Syed Abul Ala
My aim was …
• O Allah, Make the Hajj the Best event of my Life
• Best exam / best success day in career / marriage day / whatever
My preparation (1)
• Acquire Knowledge• Correlation/difference of Hajj to exam (if you
have a best event in life) [my thought]• Distance / hardship (job, kids, money,..)
Dua Preparation
• Make a book • Ask DUAs from friends Be sincere on it • Overseas Call to blood-relatives write duas
(Magic auto Dua) [general thing pl give specific dua, cry, ]
Blessings: 2 day course regarding Dhikr (1-2 month before)
Collect, ponder …
Duas from Hadith
Duas of scholars in all ages (300 page book)
Completed immediately before Arafa day
My ERRORS!!!!
Contents of the DUA book• Duas from Quraan• Duas of Morning & Evening + Rasul (Sm)’s duas• Duas of the scholars• My Duas (1-3 gives the ideas), My collected DUA
lists from relatives and friends• Hell & Heaven (really know the contents, ask duas
to get away or to get in)• My Poisonous behaviors (ask pardon, future
determination)
Day of DUA
Be Happy (& only for Allah), Content throughout the Journey
• Reflect on Mujdalifah [70 stones – collect from your bed side, SLEEP]
• Mina (complete journey – all days (more piety)) trap of Haram’s prayer [You are here for Hajj]
• Patience / maintain Time given from Govt (Jamaraat timings) – avoid crowd
• Don’t loose energy before Hajj• Quality over quantity (tawaf, touch marks, prayer,
tricks, readings)
Mina Camp
• Prophet Sallallahu Alaihissalam went to every tents of Mina during every Hajj of His 10 years of Makkah's life and called people towards Islam.
• (Ref: History of Medinah, Shafiur rahman mibarokpuri, Darussalam publications)
• I love you Mina!

• And the 'Change' is reflected by really giving values to the essence of Jannat and fearing Jahannam above all worldly things.
