General Tips Whilst Going For Hajj / Umrah

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

“In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”

• Make an intention & strive to finish one Quraan in Makkah & one Quran in madinah or a minimum of 1 Quraan at least during your spiritual journey.

• Be mindful of what you eat. It is extremely unfortunate & sad that not all the food in Saudi Arabia is 100% halal due to the issue of imported meats. Do your research, ask hotels, takeaways & restaurant if they use locally slaughtered meat. The meat slaughtered in Saudi Arabia will be permissible to eat.

• Spend most of your time inside the Haram. When in the Masjid, make niyyah for nafl itikaf. Nafl itikaf is of any duration.

• Visit Jannah-tul Baqi if not daily at least once. This is the graveyard of Madinah where over 10,000 great Sahabas of the Prophet ﷺ are buried. May we too be from amongst these fortunate ones. Make du’aa for them & send some Isaale-Thawaab.

• Visit the historic places in both Makkah & Madinah. These trips are usually arranged by your hotel or find a tour guide who can educate & inform you of the virtues / history. Check out the.haramaynguide on instagram.
