Hajj - The Journey of a Lifetime

I did perform my life first ever hajj in 2006 at the age of 25 though I had been before to perform Umrah in 2004, but having Hajj experience was a unique and indescribable knowledge, it really was something unforgettable that touched my heart that what a good journey I had.

The first finding of the Kaaba in Masjid Haram and the first touch of Black stone, was a breathtaking moment for me; the beauty of Kaaba and it is hard to believe, and it is a recall that continues with you forever golden moments of life. Basically, I enjoyed meeting with new Arab and Non-Arab people of all different ages people in different countries all around the world, chase and color it was superb seeing so many Muslim brothers and sisters united together; all here to performing hajj for the same reason.

Now I am willing to perform Hajj in at the age of 35 in 2016 and I am an equally irresistible experience this year too. I will try to enjoy every single second of every single moment of the day that I will be there Insha Allah, and I must pray the holy places of Islam, the Masjid al-Haram as well as Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and other historical places that all my Muslim brothers and sisters have a chance to perform Hajj 2016 and watch out Islamic Historical places in their life and I don’t have enough words to describe about my previous Hajj Pilgrimage journey. I think I must say that make journeys of Hajj lifetime.

You require to well knowledge it to know the brilliance of Hajj.

Hajj Guide – How to Perform Hajj Steps

Tawaf of Kaaba

Tawaf means circling around something. Here it means moving around Kaaba seven times. Preparation: Pass the upper sheet of Ihram from underneath the right arm and put it on the left shoulder. This act bares the right shoulder and is known as Iztaba. Ablutions (vudu) is essential for tawaf. Reciting of Talbiyah is stopped when you reach Hajar-e- Aswad, the starting point of tawaf. Niyyah (Intention): Stand in front of Kaabah facing Hajar-e-Aswad (the Black Stone) in such a way that the whole Hajre-e-Aswad is on your right side. To achieve this end, you may get help from the black stripe on the floor. This stripe should be on your right side. Then without raising your hands make Niyyah (intention) for Tawaf Umrah: " O Allah, I perform Tawaf of Masjide Haram to please You. Make it easy for me and accept it from me."

Manasik Umrah

The Umrah starts with wearing Ihram and making the Niyyah for Umrah at the time of crossing the prescribed Miqat point. The Ihram for gents are simple two-piece unstitched garment. During the Manasik Umrah, a person can change Ihram many times, but it is mandatory for them to remain in it till the time the Umrah is completed. The Ihram for women is the full dress that they wear daily. But a particular dress must be separated and classified as her Ihram. Anas bin Maalik (RA) said, “The pilgrims and those who perform Umrah are the delegations of Allah. He will give them whatever they ask for, answer their supplications and He will give them better than what they spend. Every Dirham will be multiplied by a thousand.” (Baihaqi) More Info: https://blog.dawntravels.com/manasik-umrah/
