Endeavour to be Very Punctual in Fardh Salaat
Being on a journey is not the same as being at
home. Things
become a bit more difficult with the result that many Haajjee
en route to Makkah neglect
their fardh Salaat. Under no
circumstances should this happen. Endeavour to be very punctual in this fundamental duty. Neglect of it is a
great sin.
Salaat, Du'aa, Tawaaf and Tilaawat
Take great care and be punctual in
the performance of all salaat with Jamaa'at
whilst visiting the sacred places. Do not delay any salaat at all.
After every salaat beseech from Allah Ta'aala that He grant you a Mabroor
Hajj (one that is accepted and free from
sin). A Hajj which is full of Allah Ta'aala's blessings and
favours.
A Haajee is fortunate in being present at the
various sacred places where du'aa are assured acceptance.
Therefore repeatedly ask Allah Ta'aala for your needs of
this world and the Hereafter. Your du'aa must be appropriate and made
with respect and humbleness. Do not ask for meaningless and
unrighteous things.
There are three persons whose du'aa are assured
acceptance; the oppressed, the traveler and the father's du'aa for his son, (meaning children).
The Qadhaa (fulfillment in arrears) of Ibaadaat which are owing to Allah Ta'aala should be correctly fulfilled or compensated.
The reward for one salaat in the Masjid-ul-Haraam (Makkah) is 100,000 fold (with Jamaa'at 2,700,000). The reward
for salaat in the Masjid-un-Nabawi (Madinah) is 50,000 fold. Each good deed done in Makkah is equivalent in reward to 100,000 good deeds done
elsewhere.
Whenever entering either of the two
Masjid or any other Masjid, form a niyyah for Nafl I'tikaaf.
Your stay in the Masjid-ul-Haraam and Masjid-un-Nabawi must be with utmost dignity and honour.
Perform as many Tawaaf, Umrah
and Nafl salaat as you can and make du'aa that
the Thawaab (reward) of this be presented to Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Complete the Holy Qur'aan at least once in each of the two Holy Masjid, i.e. Makkah and Madinah.
Perform Nafl
salaat with the niyyah of expressing
one's gratitude to Allah
Ta'aala.
