NI: Hajj 2007 1/30 Hajj & Umrah Notes ~ When you are free, read these notes over and over again to revise / remind yourself ~ Hajj 2007/1428 AH plan, Inshallah These notes were taken from classes I attended also from the book Getting The Best Out of Hajj. Hajj Tamattu, please alter notes accordingly for other Hajj options Please read through the full document, before taking these notes with you and using them during your Hajj or Umrah. Any doubts leave these notes behind. Any mistakes forgive me. There are 3 obligatory acts (Fard) without which Hajj is invalid: Ihram Wuquf-e-Arafat (standing at Arafat) Tawaf-al-Ifadah (or Tawaf-e-Ziarat) Note: In Mina, Arafat and Muzdlifa, all the prayers are shortened and offered at their proper times except noted above. Whenever you finish Tawaf-e-Ziarat (al-ifadah) during the night, come back to Mina for stay. Have your Dua s ready, when you first see the Kabah, what will you ask Allah? Healthy person can walk from Mina to Makkah, or you can walk half the distance then find taxi little outside the busy Mina area, only if you are brave take this option. After Zhur when most people are eating and it s very sunny, I find the Tawaf area very quite, if you are healthy I think it s a great time to do twaf without bumping into too many people. Try to leave your shopping till after Hajj, remember priority 1 is Hajj Mabroor Cry to Allah and Thanks Allah much for the blessings he has given you, remember some people are doing Hajj with you (maybe sitting next to you) with their life time saving, and you and I maybe doing with the saving for months or twos wages. Here I am, O Allah, Here I am, Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Surely all praise, grace and dominion are Yours, and You have no partners.
