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.
[Bukhari and Muslim]

Excellence of Hajj (2)
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.
[Bukhari and Muslim]

Aisha ( عنهuا اللuه reported that she (رضuي

Excellence of Hajj (3)
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

Alternate between Hajj and Umrah, for
these two remove poverty and
obliterate sins just as the blacksmith's
bellows removes all impurities from
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-
Hakim (Sahih)]

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

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.

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).

"Surely (as for) those who
disbelieve, and hinder (men) from
Allah's way and from the Sacred
Mosque which We have made
equally for all men, (for) the dweller
therein and (for) the visitor, and
whoever shall incline therein to
wrong unjustly, We will make him
taste of a painful chastisement."

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.

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.
