4 THE HAJJ The Importance of Hajj 1. Hajj or Pilgrimage to Makkatul Mukarramah is the fifth pillar of Islam. 2. It is a duty of a Muslim, who can afford it, to visit the Holy Kaaba in Makkatul Mukarramah at least once in a lifetime. 3. Hajj became Fard on the Muslims in 9 A.H. 4. Hajj is actually a gathering for Muslims from all parts of the world to meet and strengthen the ties of Islamic Brotherhood. 5. By putting on the Ihraam, a Muslim is made to think about death and leaving this world with only a simple piece of cloth that he or she has to wear in the Qabar. (grave) 6. By making Hajj, a Muslim sacrifices his money and pleasure for the Sake of Almighty Allah. Upon whom is Hajj Fard? Hajj is Fard upon : 1. An adult Muslim male or female. 2. One who is free from all debts. 3. One who is fit in body and in mind. 4. One who has enough money to cover all costs of the journey and be able to support one's family while one is away. 5. One who is confident of travelling safely. Note: Hajj is not Fard upon those women who do not have a "Mahram" to accompany them. By "Mahram" is meant those people to whom it is Haraam for the woman to marry. The Faraa'id (Fard) of Hajj 1. The person must be in Ihraam. (refer to guide sheet) 2. One has to make Tawaaf around the Holy Kaaba after the Wuqoof at Arafaat and Muzdalifa. 3. One has to be present at Arafaat on the 9th of Zil-Hajj. Waajibaats (essentials) of Hajj A person is required to: 1. Make Sa'ee between Saffa and Marwa after the Tawaaf. 2. Stay in Muzdalifa for one night in the open space. 3. Throw stones at the three Jamraats on the 10th, 11th, 12th of Zil-Hajj. There is great sawaab if one also pelts (stones) the Jamraats on the 13th Zil- Hajj. 4. Shave or trim the hair after the Qurbaani. 5. Perform the Last Tawaaf (Tawaaf-e-Widaa), just before leaving Makkatul Mukarramah. Saturday Islamic Classes - The Hajj Experience

5 What are the Miqaats REFER MIQAAT SHEET Miqaats are those places beyond which it is not permissable to cross without putting on the Ihraam for all those who intend making the Hajj or Umrah. There are 5 Miqaats: 1. Zul Hulaifa or Bir-e-Ali : For those coming from the side of Madinatul Munawwarah. 2. Zaatul Iraq : For those coming from Iraq. 3. Jahfa or Rabigh : For those coming from Syria. 4. Qauran : For those coming from Najd. 5. Yalam lam : For those coming from India, Pakistan and Yemen (also South Africa). The Five days of Hajj 1ST DAY - 8th Zil-Hajj : The people go to Mina from Makkatul Mukarramah in the morning after wearing the Ihraam. REFER TO IHRAAM SHEET 2ND DAY - 9th Zil-Hajj : The people arrive in Arafaat in the morning and continue their Ibaadah. They also pray their Zohar and Asar Salaah and leave for Muzdalifa just before sunset. 3RD DAY - 10th Zil-Hajj : People stay in Muzdalifa for the night and pray their Maghrib and Isha Salaah together. They continue their Ibaadah the whole night. Just after Fajar Salaah, they leave for Mina. They then make Qurbaani and stone the Jamratul Uqbah. After Qurbaani, they trim or shave their hair and remove their Ihraam for ordinary clothes. Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah is then made and Sa'ee between Saffa and Marwa. They now return to Mina. 4TH DAY - 11th Zil-Hajj : The three Jamraats are stoned. 5TH DAY - 12th Zil-Hajj : The three Jamraats are stoned again. Before leaving Makkatul Mukarramah, the Haaji will have to make the Farewell Tawaaf (Tawaaf-e-Widaa). NOTE : Muslims are also required to visit the Blessed Grave of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Madinatul Munawwarah as well as other sacred places. This can be done before or after the Hajj. Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has said: "One who visits my grave, is like one who has visited me in my lifetime." "One who visits my grave, my Shafa'at becomes Waajib for him." Saturday Islamic Classes - The Hajj Experience

6 TALBIA REFER TO TALBIA SHEET 1. The Talbia is read by the person throughout the Hajj while in the state of Ihraam. The Talbia is: "Here I am, O Lord, here I am. Here I am, you have no partner, here I am. Surely, Praise, Blessings and the Kingdom are for You. You have no partner." (see sheet) 2. The Talbia stops immediately after pelting the Jamratul Uqbah (Big Shaytaan) on the 10th of Zil-Hajj. What is Umrah 1. Umrah, unlike Hajj, can be made anytime during the year, except during the 8th till the 12th of Zil-Hajj. 2. A persons presence in Arafaat is not Fard during the Umrah. 3. No Qurbaani is required in Umrah. 4. In Umrah, Sa'ee between Saffa and Marwa and the Tawaaf of the Holy Kaaba is Fard. Actions not Permitted during Hajj 1. To kill or harm animals (including insects). 2. To use perfumes. 3. To break or uproot plants. 4. To hunt. 5. To marry or take part in a wedding. 6. To do anything dishonest or be arrogant. 7. To carry arms. 8. To cover the head (males). 9. To cover the face (females). 10. To wear sewn clothes. 11. To wear shoes covering the ankles. 12. To cut hair or clip nails. Ayyaam-e-Tashreeq 1. "Ayyaam-e-Tashreeq" or "The Days of Praise" are those 5 days from the 9th till the 13th of Zil-Hajj. 2. Ayyaam-e-Tashreeq begins from the Fajar Salaah of the 9th and ends at the Asar Salaah of the 13th of Zil-Hajj. 3. On these days, it is Waajib upon all Muslims to read the Takbeer-e- Tashreeq aloud once after every Fard Salaah. Females are required to read softly. 4. It is Sunnah to read this Takbeer 3 times. 5. The words of the Takbeer are: "Allah is Great. Allah is Great. There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Allah is Great. Allah is Great and to Allah belongs all Praise."

11 Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. Muslims must make the pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in their lifetime. Although people can visit Makkah anytime, we can only perform the Hajj in the Month of Zul Hijjah. During Umrah and Hajj, we walk around the Kaaba seven times (Tawaf) then we drink some Zam Zam. We then walk between the hills of Safah and Marwa (Sa'i) seven times. We then cut our hair or shave our head. During Hajj (8th til 13th Zul Hijjah), we spend time in Mina, Arafah and Muzdalifa. We do the Rami (stoning) of Jamarat. During these days, Hajjis wear the Ihram - two pieces of white unstiched cloth. Women just wear simple clothes. Saturday Islamic Classes - 'The Hajj Experience'

12 Whenever Muslims pray, they face the direction of the Ka'bah. The Ka'bah is in Makkah in Arabia. The Ka'bah was the first house for the worship of Allah Ta'ala. Millions of people come to Makkah every year. The Ka'aba forms the shape of a cube. It has no windows, the door is about two metres from the ground. The Ka'aba has a Hateem (looks like a small semi-circular wall) near it. It was originally part of the Ka'bah. People go around the Ka'bah seven times. They recite duas as they walk around. They also kiss the Hajar-e-Aswad. The Hajar-e-Aswad is a stone which came from Heaven. It was white but the sins of mankind have made it black. Saturday Islamic Classes - 'The Hajj Experience'

13 The day of Arafah is the most important day of Hajj. The Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said that Hajj is Arafah. People stand from noon until sunset in the plains and on the slopes of mount Arafah. They make dua to Allah Ta'ala. Many people weep and seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala and ask for other favours. Allah Ta'ala listens to all duas. It's like a scene from the last day where all humans will stand before Allah Ta'ala, awaiting their fate. The day of Arafah is on the 9th day of Zul Hijjah, which is the last month of the Islamic year. After the day of Arafah, the rest of the Muslim world have a very special day called Eid-ul- Adha.
