Transcript Getting ready for Hajj

Getting ready for Hajj
• First of all go to Masjid ul Haraam.
• Now cover your head with your Ihram and perform 2 Raka't with the
intention of Ihraam
• Uncover your head and make the niyyah (intention) for Hajj and then recite
Talibiyah
Hajj Qiraan – You made your intention for Hajj when you made your
intention for Umrah, so you should already be in the state of Ihraam,
and need not make another intention
Hajj Ifraad - You enter the state of Ihraam with the intention of Hajj only
Hajj Tammattu – You must re-enter the state of Ihraam before you leave for
Mina on the 8th
In all cases, the intention will be:
O Allah! I make an intention to perform Hajj. Make it easy for me
and accept it from me
Getting ready for Hajj
Haj : Qiraan - Tammattu - Ifraad
You have now entered the state of ihram
You now have two options
If you wish, you can now perform your Hajj Sa’ee, so you don’t have to
perform it after your Tawaaf e Ziyaarah.
However sa’ee cannot be performed without Tawaaf, so if you were to do
perform your Hajj Sa’ee now, you would first have to perform a Nafl Tawaaf
and then follow it up with the Sa’ee.
Your tawaaf would require Idtiba (leaving your shoulder uncovered) and
Ramal (jogging instead of walking) in the first three rounds.

Day 2 - 9th Zul Hajjah
Leave Mina and head for Arafat after sunrise, not before. Keep reciting the
Talibiyah, praying, asking for forgiveness and sending Durood to the Prophet
(saw)
You must now stay at Arafat. This is called the wuqoof. Staying in Arafat is the
core rite of Hajj and must be done. Failing to stay in Arafat during the allotted
times will mean your Hajj is not done.
The Wuqoof (stay at Arafat) starts from Zawaal (midday) on the 9th Zul Hajj (the
second day of Hajj), and ends at Sub'h Sadiq (Dawn – Fajr Beginning time) on the
10th Zul Hajj (The third day of Hajj). If you arrive early, take a rest and conserve
your energy. After midday, remain engaged in Durood Shareef, Dhikr, Tasbeeh,
praise Allah and recite the Talbiyah. Pray for yourself, your family and your
friends, and the whole Ummah.
You must spend some time in Arafat, at the very least, until sunset. You cannot
leave Arafat before sunset
Do also remember in your Du’aa all those associated with the production of this guide

Day 2 - 9th Zul Hajjah
At Arafah, there is a mosque called Masjid Nimrah where you can pray your
Salaah, but it is very difficult getting there
If you manage to get to Masjid Nimrah then you will pray Zuhr and Asr
Salaah together at Zuhr time
If you pray Zuhr and Asr in your tent, then you will pray them separately at
their appropriate times.
Very important – You are advised not to go to Masjid Nimrah, because at
Arafat, all the tents look exactly the same and it is very easy to get lost in
the congestion.
And although it is virtuous to stand near Jabl Rahmat, you should be wary
about straying too far from your tent as you may find it difficult getting back
Du’aa for Arafat
At Arafah, there are a some things that you are encouraged
to pray. These include:
• 100 x fourth Kalimah
• 100 x Surah Ikhlas (Qul Huwallahu Ahad – surah 112)
• 100 x Durood e Ibraaheem - (Add Wa’alaynaa ma’ahum at the
end of every Durood shareef)
It is stated that when you read the prayers above after Zawaal (midday) at
Arafat, facing Qiblah, Allah responds:
“Oh my Angels! What is the reward of my servant who glorified Me, praised Me,
mentioned my Oneness and Greatness and sent salutations on my Prophet
[SAW]? I have forgiven him, and accepted his request regarding his needs, and
if my servant Intercedes for all who are in Arafat. I will accept it; he can ask for
whatever he wishes.”
Remain in worship for all the time you are in Arafat; cry as you ask for His mercy
and forgiveness. Pray for everyone and pray for yourself.

• While at Muzdalifah, collect 70 pebbles, the size of a pea or date seed to pelt
Jamaraats (three stone pillars symbolising Shaytaan) and store the stones
safely away in a pouch. Try to collect more than you need, just in case you lose
some of yours or someone else loses theirs.
• Make sure you are collecting pebbles, as some times you can pick up sheep
droppings, date seeds or other objects. Also, make sure the stones are
collected from a clean place.
70 pebbles must be collected
7 Pebbles for Day 3 (10th Zul Hijjah)
21 Pebbles for Day 4 (11th Zul Hijjah)
21 Pebbles for Day 5 (12th Zul Hijjah)
21 Pebbles for Day 6 (13th Zul Hijjah) If you are going to pelt the Jamraats today, you
will need these. Sometimes, due to unforeseen
circumstances (weather, illness) you might end
up staying this extra day even if you don’t intend
to. You must plan for such an emergency and
are advised to collect 21 pebbles for this day too
It is also permissible to collect these pebbles from places other than Muzdalifah

Day 3 - 10th Zul Hajjah
Pelting Times are from Ishraaq (after sunrise) until Sub’h Saadiq (Fajr
beginning time) of the next day
Come to the large Jamaraat and stand at a distance of about two and a half yards or more.
You should pelt in such a way that masjid Kayf is to your Right and makkah to your left.
However, you can pelt from whichever direction you want.
Stop reciting Talibiyah now and aim Seven pebbles, one at a time, at the Jamaraat. Hold the
pebble in your right hand between your index finger and thumb (as if you are throwing a
dart) and recite “ Bismillahi Allahu Akbar” as you throw each pebble. You have now finished
the days stoning.

Make sure the pebbles hit the Jamaraat and land inside the wall, as otherwise the throw is not valid. You can only
Pelt the Shaytaan on behalf of others with a valid Sharee’ah excuse – ‘congestion’ or ‘rush’ is not a Shar’ee excuse

Hajj Tammatu”

drink ZamZam water to your fill. Then go to the Multazam, shed some tears, and
make Du’aa for as long as possible.

sadness, as you don’t know if you will have the privilege of visiting again.
Ziyaarah in Makkah
Masjids
Masjid Jinn - Also known as Masjid Bay’ah.
One day the Prophet (S.A.W.) was reciting the Qur-aan
when a group of Jinn flew past. They were greatly
affected by words of the Qur-aan. They came to the
Prophet, repented of their sins and accepted Islam.
Their repentence was accepted. A masjid was later
built here called Masjid-e-Jinn.
Masjid Nimrah - It is the place where Prophet
Muhammad (S. A. W.) delivered the last historic
sermon (Khutba). Every year on 9th Zul Hajj, the
Khutba of Hajj is delivered from this great mosque.
On Haj day (the 9th Zul hajj) Zuhr and Asar salat
(prayers) are offered jointly here.

Masjids
MASJID-E-KHEEF: It is a big and famous
mosque at Mina. "Kheef' means valley.
There is in a narrative that seventy
Prophets are taking rest (buried) here.
This mosque has an eight-faceted dome

Masjid -e- Aisha (Tan’eem) - situated a few
kilometres away from "Masjid-ul-Haram". It is
the place from where the people of Makkah,
wear "Ihram" if they want to perform Umrah.
Once Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) was coming to Makkah with his wife Aisha (RA)" and other
companions, for performing Umrah. Ummul Moumeneen, Syeda Aisha (RA), could not
wear “Ihraam" because of some unavoidable reasons. During the stay in Makkah, when she
expressed her desire to perform Umrah, Prophet Muhammad [SAW] allowed her to go to outside
Makkah (to Tan’eem) for wearing "Ihraam".

Jabal-e-Noor
(Mount of Light)
The mountain is named "Jabal-e-Noor". On the top of this mountain
is a cave which is known as "HIRA".
It was narrated by ’Aisha R.A that the Prophet (Pbuh) used to frequently go to the Hira Cave
because he was saddened and sick of the corrupt society around him. One glorious day the
Archangel Jibreel [AS] descended upon him and urged him to read, but the Prophet (Pbuh)
was reluctant, because he was unlettered. Yet, the Archangel insisted again and again (three
times), until the Prophet (Pbuh) finally acceded to his request and started to recite.
Read! in the name of your Lord , who created man from a clot.
Read! in the name of your God, the Most Bountiful, who taught by
means of the pen, and taught man what he did not know. (Qur'an 96: 1-5)
Ziyaarah in Makkah
Cave of mount Thaur
This Mountain has a cave in which the Holy Prophet [SAW] and Abu Bakr [RA] took Refuge
at the time of their migration to Madinah, from the Quraish who sent search parties to hunt
them down.
One party came dangerously close to the entrance to the cave. Abu Bakr [R.A] felt very
uneasy. The Holy Prophet consoled him, and said
"Fear not, for Allah is with us. "
And verily Allah was with them. A spider spun its web across the entrance. When the
enemy's came upon the cave, they were fooled into thinking that no one was in the cave
because they would have broken the spider's web going in.
"He being the second of the two When they were in the cave,
And when Muhammad said to his companion, 'Grieve not,
surely God is with us'. Then Allah came to their help. And
protected them with an army Which they saw not." {9:40}
