Excellence of Hajj… 10

Excellence of Hajj (1) The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said: Umra 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] 11

Excellence of Hajj (2) The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ was asked: Which deed is the best? He ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ )ﻭﺳﻠﻢ replied: Faith in Allah and 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] 12

Excellence of Hajj (3) Aisha ( ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ ) reported, Allah's Messenger ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said: 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: What do these seek? [Muslim] 13

The Goal: 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 that is not followed by disobedience 14

Preparation for Hajj… • Aspects of Preparation • Debts • What to Take 16

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 Fiqh and “how to” Meanings, spiritual and historical aspects 17

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 Medical checkup 18

Debts Being 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 (pbuh) 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. 19

Makkah Climate 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. 22

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. 23

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 as it tends to be 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 24

What to Take (4) for Ihram (for men) Ihram Towels Travel Belt These are OK for Ihram Unscented Vaseline. Apply between the thighs to prevent skin rash while in Ihram Safety pins for Your Ihram towels 25

What to Take (5) for sleeping Mainly for the night of Muzdalifah Inflatable camping or travel pillow foam camping mat fleece blanket/ sleeping bag 2 -person tent 26

What to Take (6) Misc. (1) Small MP 3 Player preloaded with Quran recitation and your favorite lectures Face masks (When not in Ihram) Colored packing tapes Eye covers Earplugs 27

What to Take (7) Misc. (2) Drawstring backpack to carry shoes/slippers while inside the Masjid (in Makkah and Madinah): quite useful Compact flashlight Tawaf/Sa'y counter beads Travel alarm clock Or use cell phone Small drawstring bag for pebbles 28

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, Sawa) 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! 29

What to Take (9) Essential A LOT of PATIENCE!!! 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 ( )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻪ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ to give you patience. Be positive. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Have only one concern: will Allah ( )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻪ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ accept my Hajj? 30

Hajj Packages… • Time of Hajj • Hajj Packages: Makkah First • Hajj Packages: Madinah First 31

Months & Days of Hajj Months of Hajj Hijri Calendar: All in the 12 th month, Dhul-Hijjah: 1. Muharram 8 th Dhul-Hijjah: day of Tarwiyah ( ﺍﻟﺘﺮﻭﻳﺔ )ﻳﻮﻡ 2.

Shawwal ( )ﺷﻮﺍﻝ 11. Dhul-Qedah ( ﺍﻟﻘﻌﺪﺓ )ﺫﻭ Months of Hajj 12. Dhul-Hijjah ( ﺍﻟﺤﺠﺔ )ﺫﻭ Go to http: //www. islamicfinder. org and determine the corresponding Gregorian dates. 32

Hajj Packages (1) Most Hajj packages consist of 3 periods: Stay in Makkah Stay in Madinah Hajj days: 8 th – 13 th 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. 1 st to 7 th 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. 33

Hajj Packages (2) Makkah First If Makkah is your first stop then you assume Ihram for Umra before landing in 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. 34

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 7 th or the 8 th 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… 35

Leaving Madinah on the th 5 of Dhul-Hijjah A newly enforced policy from the Ministry of Hajj would require all pilgrims to leave Madinah by the 5 th 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 8 th 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 8 th from your place. 36

Where is it located? - Geography of Hajj • Mawaqeet • Haram of Makkah 37

Mawaqeet (1) Mawaqeet ( )ﻣﻮﺍﻗﻴﺖ is the plural of Meeqat ( )ﻣﻴﻘﺎﺕ : 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). 38

Mawaqeet (2) Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allah's Apostle ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ )ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ made Dhu-l Hulayfa as the 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] 39

Mawaqeet (3) Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah ( )ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ 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. [Muslim] 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 40 as your Meeqat a place situated opposite to Qarn

The distance between the two is about 20 miles. 50 miles East of Makkah 41

Haram of Makkah ﻣﻜﺔ The Haram of Makkah is the sanctified area surrounding Makkah. It was delimited by Ibraheem ( ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ) ﻋﻠﻴﻪ under the guidance of Jibreel ( ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ )ﻋﻠﻴﻪ. After Fat. H Makkah (the opening of Makkah), Prophet Muhammad ( ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ )ﺻﻠﻰ sent Tameem Ibn Asd al-Khuza'ee to renew the boundaries of the Haram. Flags have been put on the mountains and hills to indicate the limits of the Haram. The number of flags reached 943 at some point, but most of them are ruined. Area of the Haram = 212 mi 2 (550 Km 2) Perimeter of the Haram = 79 mi (127 Km) 42

The Journey… 53

Day of Departure Double check necessary items to take. Use a checklist. Passport. Put a distinctive mark (like a bright tape on the side) on your passport. Green Card (if applicable). Vaccination record. This is usually stapled to your passport. Bank drafts of the Hajj fees. This is usually stapled to your passport. Money / credit card. Phone numbers and addresses (of your Hajj operator, hotels in Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah). Leave early for the airport as some airlines tend to overbook during the Hajj season. Pray two Rak'at at home before you leave. Recite Du'a for travel once you get in the car… 54

Du'a for Travel 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 ﻯ ﺍﻯ ﺫﺍ ﻛﺎ ﻭﻡ ﺍﻟﻠ ﻯ ﺍﻟﻩ ﺭﺳﻮ ، ﻋﻨﻬﻤﺎ ﺍﻟﻩ ﻋﻤﺮ ﺍﺑ ﻋﻦ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍ ﺳ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﺳﺣﺎ » : ﻗﺎ ، ﺛﻼﺛ ، ﺳ ﻟﻲ ﺍﺭﺟ ﺑﻳﺮ ، ﻭﺍﻟ ﻗﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﺒ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍ ﻓﻲ ﺍ ﺍﻟ. ﻟﻧﻭ ﺭ ﺍ ﻟﻰ ﺍ ، ﻗﺮﻧﻴ ﻟﻪ ﻛ ﺍ ﺍﻟﻳ ﺍﻟ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻧ ﺍﻟ ، ﻋ ﺍ ﺍ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺳﺍ ﻋﻧﺎ ﺍﻟ. ﺿﻰ ﻣﺎ ﺍﻟ ﻭ ﻭﺍﻷﻬ ﺍﻟﻤﺎ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻤﻗ ﻭ ، ﺍﻟﻤﻨ ﻭﻛآﺒ ، ﺍﻟ ﻭﺍ ﻭ ﻱ ﺍﻟ. ﺍﻷ ﻓﻲ « ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﺍﻭﻥ ﺍﺑﻮ آﺑﻮ » : ﻓﻫ ﻭﺯﺍﺩ ﺍﻟ ﺭ ﻭﺫﺍ « ﺍﻟﻟ ( ﻣﺴﻠﻢ ) ﺭﻭﺍﻩ I take refuge in You from an ill fated outcome with wealth and family. [Narrated by Imam Muslim] 55

Arrive in Jeddah You 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. 56
