QURAN AYATS
Allah, Glory be to Him, the Most High
said:
“There is no blame upon you for
seeking bounty from your Lord
[during Hajj]. But when you
depart from ‘Arafat, remember
Allah at al- Mash’ar al-Haram. And
remember Him, as He has guided
you, for indeed, you were before
that among those astray.”
[Surah 2: Verse 198]
“Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah
are among the symbols of Allah.
So whoever makes Hajj to the
House or performs Umrah – there
is no blame upon him for walking
between them. And whoever volunteers good – then indeed, Allah
is appreciative and Knowing.”
[Surah 2: Verse 158]

FEATURED ARTICLE
Every Prospective Hajji Should Know by Hajja Saira
Step 1: Physical Prep
Get in shape. You will walk, walk and
walk some more. Some people recommend walking regularly in the weeks before
Hajj to build endurance.
Boost your immunity. Travelling from
the U.S. takes a huge toll: long plane
rides, layovers, and a wait anywhere
from 2 – 12hrs at the Jeddah airport. So
indulge in fruits and veggies while in the
U.S., especially those rich in antioxidants.
Stay away from sick people as best as
you can during the trip. One friend started
taking a teaspoon of honey regularly in her
tea. A few people wore a surgeon’s mask
throughout the trip. Although it may seem
mean, don’t share your water bottles or
share prayer mats. You might still get sick,
but take whatever precautions you can.
Pace yourself upon arrival. Try to
balance between resting and making the
most of your time in Makkah and Madina.
You don’t want to wear yourself out before
going to Mina, but at the same time you
want to earn good deeds in the first 10
days of Dhul Hijjah.
Preventive care. Take medicine as soon
as you feel sick, but avoid taking antibiotics
unless or until you have been diagnosed
with a bacterial infection. Ricola cough
drops are excellent. It is a good idea to
take several packs because people will
ask you for some. Everyone gets the ‘Hajj
cough’. Use lemon, honey, orange juice,
etc. Take Vitamin C supplements regularly
during the trip—don’t wait till you get sick
to start this!
Gather your supplies. Make a list before
travelling so that you don’t forget anything.
Make a specific list for the days of Hajj
before you leave for Mina (i.e. stuff you will
pack in your backpack)
Take your ‘worship tools’ to use during
the waiting time. A lot of times people find
themselves without anything to do during
the long stretches. Come prepared with a
Qur`an, seerah (biography of the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬,
peace be upon him) book, or dhikr (remembrance/prayer) beads.
3
Write down a few du`a (supplications) for
yourself that you can memorize or repeat
frequently. Sometimes you will be too tired
to remember so keep a small notebook
on hand. Also, you can write down some
notes or reflections that will help preserve
the experience.
Stay energized. You need to keep
hydrated—drink Zamzam (water from the
well of Zamzam in Mecca) but also take
snacks and energy bars. Some programs
do not serve lunch so healthy snacks will
help hold you till dinner. If you don’t like
the food at the hotel, don’t complain. There
are plenty of places to eat at the malls and
hotels. Avoid anything that doesn’t seem
clean and anything that you know makes
your stomach upset.
Step 2: Mental Prep
Know the requirements of performing
Hajj. You don’t want to waste this trip by
missing something important. Attend the
workshops in your area and/or read a
book. Then review the information before
you get to Mina. As a first time Hajji it’s
natural to be unfamiliar with the rites, so
ask scholars in the group.
Know what to expect and set the expectations. Hajj is the journey of a lifetime; but
at the same time you might face things that
are upsetting. Sadly, I encountered a lot
of trash and garbage thrown all over the
place in Mina. The bathroom situation is
another story. Expect squatter toilets and
learn to use them. If used correctly it can
be sanitary and easier to use then regular
toilets.
Strategize. A few tricks will help you
maximize your time. For example, when
going to pray at the rawdah in the Prophet’s masjid there are designated times for
women. Head towards the rawdah area
towards the end of the time allotted and
try to be in the last group praying. You
won’t feel as hassled because there is
nobody coming behind you. Also, there are
air-conditioned areas in the Haram (area
around the Ka`bah) in Makkah on the first
and second floor (enter through King Fahd
entrance and stay on the left). Plan on
praying/sitting there during the hottest part
of the day. Since the time between Maghrib
(post-sunset prayer) and `Isha (night
prayer) is short, it’s a good idea to stay at
the Haram between those prayers. That
way you won’t struggle for a spot inside.
One local student gave us this awesome
tip: Make sa’i (the walk between the hills
of Safa and Marwa) on the 4th floor roof
extension area, which is usually empty and
has a wonderful view during Fajr (pre-dawn
prayer) time.
Don’t be cheap. You will see a lot of the
poor and the elderly. Help them as much
as you can and be generous. Don’t haggle
with store keepers over small amounts. At
the same time be cautious of theft and being ripped off by taxi drivers. As in any big
city there are opportunists, so be cautious
of your money and personal items. Keep
your shoes in a plastic bag with you at all
times.
Get in the right mindset by surrendering
yourself to Allah (swt). You are going on
Hajj, which is not a vacation in a 4 star
hotel. You will be tested in different ways
so remind yourself to be patient and not to
complain. You are invited as Allah’s guests
so use the correct manners that a guest
should have.
Remember why you are here: to complete Hajj and go back home. You are not
here to argue with different people about
who is right and wrong. You might need
to develop a mantra or phrase to remind
yourself.
Don’t compare your group to other
groups. It’s very easy to get caught up in
what other people ate or what their tents
were like. Avoid going down that road and
remind yourself that everyone’s test will be
different and no one has a problem-free
Hajj. Focus on yourself, make incessant
talbiyah [Labbayk Allahuma labbayk—I
respond to Your call O Allah, I respond to
Your call], and embody your submission to
Allah (swt).
Minimize the distractions. This is one of

the biggest struggles. There is a lot going on
and sometimes it will be hard to focus. Try to
set goals for yourself before the trip so you
know what to work on.
Avoid getting into debates about different
opinions and madhabs (schools of thought).
Decide on what you are going to follow beforehand and don’t get confused when people
tell you that your Hajj won’t be accepted.
People find themselves waiting a lot and start
to discuss these issues that end up creating
confusion or hostility. Follow your group leader who is experienced and let others follow
their leaders.
Stick together and find an experienced
person to follow. This may seem obvious but
a buddy system will help prevent you from
getting lost.
Keep calm with your roommates and carry
on. If you are sharing a room with other people in Makkah or Madina take some earplugs
or eye covers to help you get rest. You might
be paired with a roommate that can be a test
for you—just try to take things in stride and
avoid getting upset or frustrated with the person. If you are annoyed, try to do nice things
for the person and make du`a’ for that person
and yourself.
Use the full day of Arafah for worship—not
just the time after Asr (late afternoon prayer).
Many people fall into this trap and spend time
sitting, eating and talking on the most important day of Hajj and only start making du`a’
after `Asr. Separate yourself from people and
focus on seeking forgiveness. The Prophet
(sas) used to make du`a’ the entire day and
intensified the supplication after `Asr. The
same thing applies after Arafah when people
revert to their old habits and lose focus while
they are still on Hajj! Continue to keep yourself busy with reading, remembrance, and
extra worship. Side point: plan to avoid the
bathrooms at Muzdalifah. Eat/drink accordingly and use the bathrooms in Arafah before
getting on the bus to Muzdalifah.
An experienced Hajji advised: “Treat tawaf
(walking 7 times around the Ka`bah) like
prayer and strive for khushoo’ [concentration].” The virtue of tawaf is well known: it is
recommended to perform tawaf in the Haram
before praying 2 rakahs (units of prayer) as
the ‘greeting’ of the masjid! One idea is to pick
different du`a’ or prayers for each round, or
to pick the first round for seeking forgiveness,
the second round for making du`a’ for the
community, etc. Performing tawaf can be a
5
struggle given all the distractions. Try to avoid
congested areas and the 2nd floor wheelchair drivers (who go fast and end up hitting
peoples’ ankles). One recommendation is to
avoid the first and second floor and only make
tawaf and sa’i on the relatively un-crowded
rooftop.
Ask Allah for help. This advice was given by
an elderly woman sitting in the Prophet’s (sas)
masjid. She said to always start your actions
by asking Allah (swt) to help you. Allah (swt)
can make anything happen—all we need to
do is ask.
Step 3: Spiritual Prep
This important aspect tends to be ignored
since many people focus on the external
actions of Hajj and then focus on trying to survive the trip. If you make this a priority ahead
of time by taking a few steps to prepare then
the struggle can be spiritually uplifting and
rewarding.
Hajj is not just a physical journey but a
surrendering of the heart to Allah (swt) with
absolute submission. You will give up everyday comforts (even personal hygiene!) for a
few short days as you purify the soul. Print
the articles out and share with roommates.
Evaluate yourself before leaving for Hajj.
Really take yourself to account. As one
experienced Hajji stated, “Look at your personal weaknesses and flaws. Make tawbah
(repentance) for all the sins you are committing and all the weaknesses you have. Do
not go to Hajj with the intention of continuing
on any known sin when you return. Your
intention needs to be that you will discontinue
it and fight it. This is very important. Hajj is
not something a person does many times—so
make sure you receive the full reward for
completing it. Do not risk an unaccepted
Hajj.” She also emphasized, “Don’t let the
spirit of the group affect your spirit. If people
on the bus are talking and socializing and you
feel like doing the talbiyah then go ahead and
start instead of wondering why others aren’t.”
Keep good companionship during the trip. I
was blessed to have good friends as roommates during my journey. You might observe
different types of people in your group: the
complainers, the chit-chatters, the Debby-downers, etc. If you feel distracted then
keep to yourself since you don’t want the negativity to rub off and affect your experience.
Make a pact with yourself that you will come
back from Hajj and keep the complaints to
yourself. There might be things that you don’t
like but you will hold those complaints in your
heart and share constructive criticism with
the group organizer. Good friends will remind
you and support you in this goal. Optimism is
contagious!
Conclusion
Even as you prepare for the journey of a
lifetime, keep in mind that unexpected events
will probably occur. Every year is different
and every person’s experience is different.
Savor the new experiences and focus on the
positives. Yes, you will see strange and rude
actions and plenty of ignorance. But you will
also see grown men shed tears while gazing
at the House of Allah (swt) and pleading for
mercy and forgiveness. You will see millions
of people unite from all corners of the world
for one purpose alone: to fulfill the obligation
of Hajj and surrender before their Creator. Reflecting on these facts creates a deep respect
for our religion. How amazing is the call to
prayer which transforms the chaotic amblings
of millions of people into perfectly circular
lines within the span of a few minutes? How
amazing is our faith that pushes people to
struggle and give up basic comforts because
of a sincere desire to please their Lord?
Lastly, as one Hajji said, “Always keep in mind
that Hajj is a test. You can prepare yourself
as much as possible but nothing [completely]
prepares you for the reality of the experience.
You will experience highs and lows. There will
be moments of great awe as well as moments
of great frustration. Pack a bag of patience!”
Although Hajj is deemed as the journey of
a lifetime, for many it will be a turning point
and the beginning of the journey back to
their faith. For a few people, Hajj will be an
ongoing journey as they come back home and
try to implement lessons in patience, physical
sacrifice, and complete submission. As one
scholar advised, “Take your Hajj back home
with you. Be in your life as you were on Hajj.”
May Allah bless your Hajj and accept all our
good deeds. May Allah make things easy for
you and allow you to come back safely.

Each year for Eid-ul-Adha, Hidaya
Foundation performs Qurbani/Udhiya on
behalf of our donors, and distributes the
meat among some of the poorest people
in the world throughout South Asia and
Africa. Due to extreme poverty, for
many of the recipients, this is the only
time of year that they enjoy the luxury
of eating meat.
Donate your Qurbani/Udhiya for
the poor and help make Eid special
for them.
Cost of Qurbani
Ox/Buffalo: $65 per share, $455 per animal
Goat/Sheep: $150 per animal
