Excellence of Hajj (1)

The Prophet ( وسuلم عليuه اللuه said: Umra (صuلى

is an expiation for the sins committed

between it and the previous Umra; and the

reward of Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted)

is nothing but Jannah.

[Bukhari and Muslim]

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ( صلى

وسuلم عليuه said: Whoever performs hajj (اللuه

and does not commit any obscenity nor

commit any evil, will return as sinless as a

new-born child.

The Prophet ( وسuuلم عليuuه اللuuه was (صuuلى

asked: Which deed is the best? He ( صلى

وسuلم عليuه replied: Faith in Allah and (اللuه

His Messenger. Then he was asked:

What is next? He replied: Jihad (fighting)

in the Cause of Allah. Then he was

asked: What is after that? He replied:

Hajj Mabrur.

Aisha ( عنهuا اللuه reported that she (رضuي

said: O Messenger of Allah! We consider

jihad as the best deed. Should we not

fight in Allah's Cause? He ( عليه الله صلى

Aisha ( عنهuuا اللuuه reported, Allah's (رضuuي

Messenger ( وسuuلم عليuuه اللuuه :said (صuuلى

There is no day when Allah sets free

more servants from Hell Fire than the

Day of Arafah. He draws near, then

praises them to the angels, saying:

Abdullah ( عنuه اللuه reported that the (رضuي

these two remove poverty and

obliterate sins just as the blacksmith's

metals like iron, gold and silver. The

reward for Hajj Mabrur is nothing short

of Paradise.

The Goal: Hajj Mabrur

Hajj Mabrur (an accepted Hajj) is:

A Hajj performed with the intention of seeking Allah's

pleasure only (complete sincerity)

A Hajj free of sin; i.e. conducted with full obedience to

Allah ( وتعالى (سبحانه

A Hajj performed in accordance to the Sunnah of the

Prophet ( وسلم عليه الله (صلى

A Hajj which is not followed by disobedience

17

Another dimension to Hajj Mabrur

Jabir ( عنuuه اللuuه narrated that the (رضuuي

Prophet ( وسuلم عليuه اللuه said: The Hajj (صuلى

Mabrur has no reward except Jannah. He

was asked: What makes Hajj Mabrur?

He said: Providing food (to people)

and spreading good word.

Khuzayma (in his Sahih), al-Bayhaqi, al-

Preparation for Hajj…• Aspects of Preparation• Debts• What to Take

19

Preparation for Hajj (1)

Sincerity

Repentance from all past sins

Resolve outstanding differences and seek forgiveness from others

Pay/record all debts

Write/update your will

Make sure the wealth to be used for Hajj is from Halal sources

Choose the company of the righteous

Learn as much as possible about Hajj and Umra

Meanings, spiritual and historical aspects

20

Preparation for Hajj (2)

Memorize some Du’a from Quran and Sunnah

Learn how to pray Salat al-Janaazah (funeral prayer)

Learn the etiquette of visiting the graves

Learn the rulings of Salat as-Safar (traveler’s prayer), and

wiping over socks in Wudu

Mental and physical preparation

21

DebtsBeing debt free is not a precondition for performing Hajj.

But debt is a very serious matter that should not be taken lightly, especially when leaving for Hajj.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa: A dead person was brought to the Prophet so that he might lead the funeral prayer for him. He asked, "Is he in debt?" When the people replied in the negative, he led the funeral prayer. Another dead person was brought and he asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He (refused to lead the prayer and) said, "Lead the prayer of your friend." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah's Apostle! I undertake to pay his debt." Allah's Apostle then led his funeral prayer. [Al-Bukhari, Book #37, Hadith #492]

Pay all your debts before going for Hajj, if possible.

If you are not able to, make arrangements for their payment during your absence, or in the event of your death.

Ensure that family members are aware of any outstanding debts.

Write an Islamic Will and make sure all your debts are recorded therein.

Because of its relatively low-lying location, Makkah sees seasonal flash floods despite the low amount of annual precipitation. There are less than 5 inches (130 mm) of rainfall during the year, mainly in the winter months. Temperatures are high throughout the year and in summer may reach 113 °F (45 °C).

What to Take (1)

When packing things for Hajj, keep in mind:

Stay light. Extra items you don't need will just increase the weight you will have to carry around.

Take necessary items like your prescription medication.

Choose compact and light items. The camping section is a good place to look in.

Do not take valuables. You run the risk of loosing them, and it just adds to your worries.

Most items are available in Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah, and usually more affordable. The advantage is that you will buy only things that you really need.

25

What to Take (2)

All necessary documents. Prepare travel documents

(passport, etc.) well in advance. Make 2 sets of

photocopies. Leave one at home and keep one with

someone traveling in your group.

Medication; especially prescription medication.

Money (bills of $100 get you a better exchange rate).

One credit card for emergencies (don’t keep it with the

money).

A small book of authentic Du’a.

Hajj guide & checklists.

Travel size toiletries, nail clipper, small scissors, comb. Band-aids.

26

What to Take (3)Clothing

Comfortable and modest clothes like Indo-Pak shalwar-qamees as well as the Saudi thoub (a one-piece head-to-toe garment) are ideal and are recommended for men.

Women wear their normal comfortable clothes. Avoid nylon clothing (uncomfortable in hot weather).

Warm jacket, especially for Madinah at Fajr time.

Slipper socks or rubber soled slippers: useful for Tawaf and Sa’y, except Tawaf al-Qudoom (arrival) and its Sa’y (for men) when you will be in a state of Ihram.

Slippers/sandals/comfortable shoes. Rubber soled slippers for Tawaf

What to Take (4)for Ihram (for men)

31

What to Take (8)for communication

Cell phones can make communication much easier while in Makkah/Madinah/Mina, especially if traveling with relatives.

Cell phone requirements:

GSM

SIM-Unlocked

Multi-band (tri-band or quad-band) that includes the 900 MHz band. Currently, this is the only frequency working in Saudi Arabia.

You buy SIM cards (Saudi Telecom, Mobily, Zain) from Saudi Arabia.

Never buy anything from the airport workers though. Buy your SIM Card from either a mobile handset seller or from some pharmacies or money exchangers.

Make sure you turn your phone OFF in the Masjid!

32

What to Take (9)Essential

And keep most of it towards the end. That's when you will

need it most.

Do not get angry.

You will see a lot of irritating and misguided behavior. Try to

change it with wisdom and nice words if you can control

yourself; otherwise keep silent.

Ask Allah ( وتعالى .to give you patience (سبحانه

Be positive. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.

Have only one concern: will Allah ( وتعuالى accept my (سuبحانه

Hajj?

A LOT of PATIENCE!!!

35

Hajj Packages (1)Most Hajj packages consist of 3 periods:

Stay in Makkah

Stay in Madinah

Hajj days: 8th – 13th of Dhul-Hijjah

Your Hajj package will be a combination of those 3 periods depending on the chronological order.

Makkah gets very crowded the week before the Hajj days, i.e. 1st to 7th of Dhul-Hijjah, while Madinah gets less busy.

Fasting, whether in Makkah or Madinah, during the first days of Dhul-Hijjah is recommended; but not during the days of Hajj, because of the physical effort required during those days.

36

Hajj Packages (2)Makkah First

If Makkah is your first stop then you assume Ihram for Umra before landing in Jeddah. Jeddah is beyond the Meeqat.

Make the Niyah and say Talbiyah when Meeqat is announced during the flight, approximately 30-45 minutes before landing in Jeddah.

You need to have a pair of Ihram towels with you for your Umra before travel. You can buy a second one for your Hajj from Makkah or Madinah, or wash and reuse the ones you used for Umra.

Make sure you keep the Ihram towels in your handbag. Do not put them in your luggage.

Put on Ihram towels in the airport at the last stop of your trip before boarding your flight to Jeddah. It’s extremely difficult to put on Ihram towels in the airplane.

37

Hajj Packages (3)Madinah First

If your first stop is Madinah then you do not need to assume Ihram on your way to Madinah.

You can buy Ihram towels from Madinah.

Your Meeqat for Umra is Dhul-Hulayfah (Abyar 'Ali).

If you leave Madinah on the 7th or the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, then it may be difficult to do a Umra before Hajj. A few slides at the end of the Hajj procedure will explain how one can change his/her Niyah and show a number of possible scenarios…

Leaving Madinah on the 5th of Dhul-Hijjah

A new policy from the Ministry of Hajj would require all pilgrims to

leave Madinah by the 5th of Dhul-Hijjah.

If Madinah was your first stop then you will assume Ihram for

Umra that you perform upon arrival to Makkah. On the 8th of Dhul-

Hijjah you assume Ihram for Hajj from your place in Makkah (or

Aziziyah).

If Makkah was your first stop and you already performed a Umra

then you have the following options:

Assume Ihram for Hajj from Dhul-Hulayfah. However, in this case you

will be in a state of Ihram for a longer time, which may involve some

hardship for some people. Alternatively,…

Assume Ihram for a second Umra that you complete upon arrival to

Makkah, and then assume Ihram for Hajj on the 8th from your place.

38

39

Where is it located?- Geography of Hajj -

• Mawaqeet• Haram of Makkah

40

Mawaqeet (1)

Mawaqeet (واقيتuuم) is the plural of Meeqat (اتuuميق): the

geographical boundary that a person intending Hajj or Umra

may not cross without assuming Ihram for Hajj or Umra, or

both.

A Muslim intending Hajj or Umra who crosses the Meeqat

without Ihram must return to the Meeqat and make Ihram

from there. If he/she does not return and make Ihram from the

Meeqat, then he/she must offer an animal sacrifice (Fidya).

41

Mawaqeet (2)

Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allah's Apostle ( صلى

وسuلم عليuه made Dhu-l Hulayfa as the (اللuه

Meeqat for the people of Madinah; Al-Juhfa

for the people of Sham; Qarn al-Manazil

for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for

the people of Yemen; and these Mawaqeet

are for the people at those very places,

and besides them for those who come

through those places with the intention of

performing Hajj and Umra; and whoever is

living within these boundaries can assume

lhram from the place he starts, and the

people of Makkah can assume Ihram from

Makkah.

[Bukhari & Muslim]

Mawaqeet (3)

Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah ( عنuه اللuه (رضuي

as saying: I heard (and I think he carried it directly

to the Messenger of Allah) him saying: For the

people of Medina Dhu'l-Hulaifa is the place for

entering upon the state of Ihram, and for (the

people coming through the other way, i. e. Syria)

it is Juhfa; for the people of Iraq it is Dhatu 'Irq;

for the people of Najd it is Qarn (al-Manazil) and

for the people of Yemen it is Yalamlam.

( مسلم )Narrated Ibn 'Umar: When these two towns (Basra

and Kufa) were opened, the people went to 'Umar

and said: O Chief of the faithful believers! The

Prophet fixed Qarn as the Meeqat for the people

of Najd, it is beyond our way and it is difficult for

us to pass through it. He said: Take as your

Meeqat a place situated opposite to Qarn on your

usual way. So, he fixed Dhatu 'Irq (as their

Meeqat).

Du'a for Travel

Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest,

Allah is the greatest, How perfect He is, The

One Who has placed this (transport) at our

service, and we ourselves would not have

been capable of that, and to our Lord is our

final destiny. O Allah, we ask You for birr and

taqwaa in this journey of ours, and we ask You

for deeds which please You. O Allah, facilitate

our journey and let us cover its distance

quickly. O Allah, You are The Companion on the

journey and The Successor over the family, O

Allah, I take refuge with You from the

difficulties of travel, from having a change of

hearts and being in a bad predicament, and I

take refuge in You from an ill fated outcome

with wealth and family.

[Narrated by Imam Muslim]

Arrive in JeddahYou will have assumed Ihram before arriving at Jeddah if Makkah is your destination.

First you go through the Customs/Immigration, and then wait for a bus (of the Hajj Ministry Transportation Service) to take you to Makkah.

Perform your Salat on time and with the Jama'ah.

Jeddah will be a first test for your patience. The wait time in the Hajj Terminal can be 2 to 12 hours or even more.

Show patience and be nice to the staff.

This is a good opportunity to get to know some people in your group.
