1a. Hajj - A Guide For Intending Pilgrims

1a.
14 . Take great care and bepunctual in the performance of all salaat
with jama'at whilst visiting the sacred places. Do not delay any
salaat at all.
15 . After every salaat beseech from Allah ta'aalaa that He grant you
a mabroor Hajj (one that isaccepted and free from sin). A Hajj which
is full of Allah ta'aalaa's Blessings and Favours.
16 . A haji is fortunate in being present at the various sacred places
where du'aa are assured acceptance. Therefore repeatedly ask Allah
ta'aalaa for your needs of this world and the Hereafter. Your du'aa
mustbe appropriate and made with respect and humbleness. Do not ask
for meaningless and unrighteous things.
17 . There are three persons whose du'aa are assured acceptance; the
oppressed, the traveller and the father's du'aa for his son, (meaning
children).
18 . The qadhaa (fulfilmentin arrears) of 'ibaadaat which are owing to
Allah ta'aalaa should be correctly fulfilled or compensated.
19 . The reward for one salaat in the Masjidul Haraam ( Makkah ) is
100,000 fold (with jama'at2,700,000). The reward forsalaat in the
Masjidun Nabawi (Madeenah) is 50,000 fold. Each good deed done in
Makkah is equivalent in reward to 100,000 good deeds done elsewhere.
20 . Whenever entering either of the two masjid orany other masjid,
form a niyyah for nafl i'tikaaf.
21 . Your stay in the Masjidul Haraam and Masjidun Nabawi must be with
utmost dignity and honour.
22 . Perform as many tawaaf, umrah and nafl salaat as you can and make
du'aa that the thawaab (reward) of this be presented to Rasoolullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
23 . Complete the Qur'aan at least once in each of thetwo Holy Masjid,
i.e. Makkah and Madeenah.
24 . Perform nafl salaat with the niyyah of expressing one's gratitude
to Allah ta'aalaa.
MAKKAH MUKARRAMAH
25 . During your stay in Makkah abundantly increase your recital of
theKalimah Tayyibah: Laa'ilaha il lal'lahu·, and istighfar:
'Astaghfirullah·.
26 . If you desire, give an excellent gift to your near dear ones,
friends who areliving, and especially thosewho have passed away. The
gift of the rewards of tawaaf and umrah will please their souls very
much. There will be no reduction from your own reward for these acts.
27 . Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said that the water of
Zamzam will have the desired effectof whatever intention is made at
the time of drinking Zamzam. Zamzamshould be drunk with the intention
of quenching thethirst of the Day of Qiyaamah (resurrection). Itshould
also be taken with the intention of shifaa (cure) from spiritual and
physical ailments. It is commendable to drink Zamzam with the niyyah
of being granted the tawfeeq of conforming to the sunnah of our
beloved Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
MADEENAH MUNAWWARAH
28 . It is stated in hadeeth: (i) "Whoever comes with the sole
intention of visiting my grave, my intercession will become incumbent
for that person". (ii) "Whoever visits my grave after my death is like
the one who has visited me during my lifetime".
29 . Recite durood (salutations) in abundance on Rasoolullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam, on beginning your journey to and from
Madeenah Munawwarah, and during your stay there.
30 . To hurt or cause inconvenience to any Muslim and especially the
people of Madeenah Munawwarah is a great sin.
GENERAL
31 . Choose an able pious companion who will assistyou in times of
need, and it is better if this companion is a reliable recognized
aalim (scholar).
32 . Regard the time in Hajjas a blessing. One never knows when one
may be favoured with this good fortune again.
33 . Since your stay there isa short one, you should value every
moment there. Do not waste your time roaming in the bazaars and do not
indulge in meaningless things and idle talk.
34 . Do not allow your attention to drift towards the decoration and
splendour of the buildings,nor indulge in humour andridicule.
35 . One must be extremely cautious with regard to the etiquette of
these sacred places. Any disrespect in this regard will be a cause for
retribution.
36 . Do not criticize the conditions and people there. After all, the
local residents are human and are prone to faults just as we are. When
noticing the shortcomings of others, special attention must
immediately be drawn to one's own faults and weakpoints.
37 . One must make a concentrated effort to avoid sin, especially
casting passionate glances at female who are present at Hajj. One must
keep one's gaze lowered when women gather for tawaaf and
salaat-u-salaam. :->
