2. وَلِلَّھِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَیْتِ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَیْھِ سَبِیلاً
( وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّھَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ الْعَالَمِینَ ( 97
قال النبي –صلى الله علیھ وسلم-(بنى الاسلامُ على خمس:
شھادة أن لا الھ إلا الله وأنَّ محمداً رسولُ الله,وإقام
الصلاة,وإیتاء الزكاة
وصوم رمضان وحج البیت لمن استطاع إلیھ سبیلا)
) :

3. Excellence of Hajj
The Prophet (pbuh) said: "(The
performance of) `Umrah is an expiation for
the sins committed between it and the
previous `Umrah; and the reward of Hajj
Mabrur (i.e., one accepted) is nothing but
Jannah.'‘
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim].
عن أبي ھریرة
أن رسول الله صلى الله علیھ وسلم قال
العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بینھما والحج
المبرور لیس لھ جزاء إلا الجنة
[البخاري و مسلم]
The Prophet (PBUH) was asked: "Which
deed is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied,
"Faith in Allah and His Messenger.'' Then
he was asked: "What is next?'' He replied,
"Jihad (holy fighting) in the Cause of
Allah.'' Then he was asked, "What is after
that?'' He (PBUH) replied, "Hajj Mabrur
(an accepted pilgrimage).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
عن أبي ھریرة رضي الله عنھ قال
سئل النبي صلى الله علیھ وسلم أي الأعمال
أفضل قال إیمان بالله ورسولھ قیل ثم ماذا
قال جھاد في سبیل الله قیل ثم ماذا قال حج
مبرور
[البخاري و مسلم]

When you enter the masjid
do not forget to enter by the
right foot, and say:
allaahumma salli `alaa muhammadin wa
sallim, allaahumma aftah lee abwaaba
rahmatika.
اللھم صل على محمد و سلم، اللھم
افتح لي أبواب رحمتك
a'oodhu billaahi-l `adheem wa bi
wajhihi-l kareem wa sultaanihi-l
qadeem mina-sh shaitaani-r rajeem.
أعوذ بالله العظیم و بوجھھ الكریم و
سلطانھ القدیم من الشیطان الرجیم

6. The Black Stone
Go straight to the Black Stone and
facing it make takbeer.
Then touch the Black Stone with your
hand and kiss it, and make sajda upon
it also, as the Prophet (pbuh) did that,
and `Umar, and Ibn `Abbas.
If you are not able to kiss it then touch
it with your hand then kiss your hand.
If you cannot touch it you should
make a sign towards it with your hand.
And you do that in every circuit.
Do not push and crowd to get to the Black Stone according
to the Prophet's saying to ‘Umar.

7. Some definitions
Rukn (Pillar): a necessary act of Hajj, such as the
standing in Arafah, the lack of which invalidates the Hajj.
Wajib (Obligation): an obligatory act of Hajj, such as
stoning of the Jamarat, which if missed for any reason,
then a Hady (sacrifice of an animal) becomes incumbent
for compensation.
Sunnah: desirable act of Hajj other than a Rukn or Wajib.
Restrictions of Ihram: all acts a person in a state of Ihram
is prohibited from doing.
Fidyah/Hady: compensatory act for violating a wajib or a
restriction of Ihram.

After intention is made, recite Talbiyah aloud:
"labbaikallaahumma labbaik labbaika laa shareeka
laka labbaik inna-l hamda wa-n ni'mata laka wa-l
mulk, laa shareeka lak"
Here I am O Allah, here I am, there is no partner for You,
here I am, Verily all praise for You, and every bounty is
from You, and all dominion is Yours - You have no partner
لبیك اللھم لبیك لبیك لا
شریك لك لبیك إن الحمد
والنعمة لك والملك لا
شریك لك
Talbiyah should be continued until you see the Ka’bah (or until the Ramye
of the largest Jamrah in the case of Hajj).
Make talbiyah especially:
while descending or ascending during travel,
joining a party of people,
after every Salah,
and in the morning and evening
Talbiyah should be made in a loud voice

28. II. Tawaf Al-Qudoom
(Arrival)
Arrive at Al-Masjid Al-Haram
The Black Stone
Tawaf around the Ka'bah

times
Al-IdTiba’a
wearing the iHram under his right armpit
and over the left shoulder

which the shoulders are thrust forwards
in the first three rounds, then walk normally

إذا وصلت إلي مكھ فطف في البیت سبعة أشواط طواف
العمرة تبدأ من الحجر الاسود وتنتھى إلیھ ثم تصلى
ركعتین خلف مقام إبراھیم قریبا منھ إن تیسر أو بعید..

29. Tawaf - Continue
Touch the Yemeni corner with your right hand each time you pass
and do not kiss it, and if you are not able to touch it then you
should not make any sign towards it with your hand at all.
And you should say between the two corners:
"Rabbanaa aatinaa fi-d dunyaa hasanatan wa fi-l
aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa 'adhaaba-n naar.”
O Allah gives us good in this life, and good in the
Hereafter and save us from the Punishment of the
Fire.
ربنا آتنا في الدنیا حسنة و في
الآخرة حسنة و قنا عذاب النار

30. Notes about Tawaf
You do not touch the two shami corners at all
following the sunnah of the Prophet.
There is no particular dhikr for tawaf, so you may
read Qur'an or say any dhikr you like.
A mentruating woman does not make tawaf until
she becomes clean.
A state of wuDu’ is required for all kinds of tawaf.

31. Maqam Ibraheem
When you finish the 7th round cover your
right shoulder and move to the Place of
Ibraheem and recite:
“وَٱتَّخِذُواْ مِن مَّقَامِ إِبۡرَٲھِـۧمَ مُصَل۟ى “
"Wa-t takhidhoo min maqaami Ibraaheema
musallaa." [2,125]
Place the Maqam Ibraheem between
yourself and the Ka'bah and then pray two
rak'ahs. And recite therein Surat Al-
Kafiroon and Surat Al-Ikhlas.
Traces of the feet of Prophet Ibraheem
(‘alaihi assalam) as seen inside the Maqam.

32. Hijr Isma’eel

33. Zamzam
After praying you go to
Zamzam and drink from it,
and pour some of the water
on your head.
Then you return to the Black
Stone, say takbeer and touch
it, as before, if possible.
Zamzam underground
This is the modern Zamzam
facility underground.

34. Sa’ye between
Safa & Marwah
إذا انتھى الحاج من الركعتین فیخرج إلي الصفا یسعى
بین الصفا والمروة سبع مرات تبدأ بالصفا وتختم
بالمروه...
Start with Safa
Recite particular ayah
Make du’aa
Walk to Marwah (first lap)
On the Marwah, do the same as on the Safa
Walk back to the Safa (second lap)
Complete seven laps in the same manner

35. Sa’ye between Safa & Marwa
Then you descend for sa‘ye from
Safa to Marwah.
You walk till you reach the green
sign-post. You then run quickly till
you reach the next green sign-post.
Then you walk up to Marwah and
ascend it and do upon it as you did
upon as-Safa (and that forms one
complete lap).
Then you return till you ascend as-
Safa - running between the green
sign-posts - and that is a second lap.
Then you return to Marwah - and so
on till you complete seven laps
finishing upon Marwah.
You may make this du'a in sa‘ye:
“Rabbi ghfir warHam innaka anta-l
a'azzu-l akram.”

36. Sa’ye between Safa & Marwa
When reaching the foot of the Safa recite:
“Inna-s Safa wa-l Marwata min sha’aairi-l
laahi…” [2,158].
عَلَیۡھِ أَن یَطَّوَّفَ بِھِمَ اۚ “
Then say:
“Nabda'u bimaa bada'allaahu bihi نبدأ بما بدأ
الله بھ ” (We begin with what Allah began with.)
Then climb the Safa until you see the Ka’ba
Face the Ka’ba and say: “Allahu Akbar” (3
times)
Then say:
“Laa ilaaha illaa Allahu waHdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahu-l mulk wa
lahu-l Hamd, yuHyee wa yumeetu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer”
“Laa ilaaha illaa Allahu waHdahu laa shareeka lahu - anjaza wa'dahu
wa nasara 'abdahu wa hazama-l ahzaaba wahdahu.”
Saying that three times and making du'aa after each time.

37. Halq or Taqseer
فإذا أتم السعى فیقصر الشعر وبذلك یتحلل من العمرة فیفك الاحرام ویلبس الثیاب.
Then when you finish the seventh
circuit upon al-Marwah you shorten
the hair of your head thus ending the
'Umrah.
Everything that became forbidden to
you upon entering iHram now
becomes permissible again.
You remain in the state of “Hill”
(being out of iHram) until Yaum ut-
Tarwiyah (8th Dhu-l Hijjah).

38. Stay in Makkah
In the Haram, the reward for good deeds is multiplied
manifolds, and so is the punishment for sins.
Try not to miss any salat in Al-Masjid Al-Haram; each
salat there is better than 100,000 salat elsewhere: the
equivalent of about 55 years of salat!
Make optional tawaf as much as possible, as it is better
than salat at Al-Masjid Al-Haram.
Use time wisely, it is so precious there.
Try not to walk between the hands of any praying person
there, nor allow anyone to walk in front of you while you
are praying.

39. وذلك في ضحى الیوم الثامن من ذى
الحجھ فیُحْرِم من مكانھ النازل فیھ
فیغتسل إن تیسر لھ ویلبس لباس الاحرام
ثم یلبى بالحج..
If you are in Makkah, then you make
Ihram from your place of residence.
If you are in Madinah, then you make
Ihram from Dhu-l Hulayfah.
You do the same things that you did
in your Ihram for the ‘Umra.
You continue the talbiyah until you
throw the pebbles at Jamrat-Ul-
Aqabah on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.

40. یخرج الحاج إلي منى ویصلى بھا
الظھر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء
والفجر والرباعیة تجعل ركعتین.
Go to Mina in the morning
of Yaum at-Tarwiyah (8th of
Dhu-l Hijjah).
Pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib,
‘Isha and Fajr in their times
with Qasr.
Use your time to gather your
thoughts and prepare for the
next day: the day of Arafah.
Mina - 8 Dhul-Hijjah

41. Arafah - 9 Dhu-l Hijjah
إذا طلعت الشمس یسیر الحاج إلي عرفھ ویصلى بھا الظھر
والعصر جمع تقدیم ركعتین ركعتین والمكث بعرفة حتى
الغروب. ویكثر الحاج من الدعاء وانواع الذكر ...
After sunrise of the day of Arafah,
depart for Arafah while making talbiyah
or takbeer.
Pray Dhuhr and Asr at Masjid Namirah,
two rak’as each, combined at the time of
Dhuhr.
Namira is not part of Arafah, but part of
the Masjid is within the limits of Arafah.

42. Excellence of the day of Arafah
The Prophet (pbuh)
said :"There is no day
on which Allaah frees
more of His slaves
from Fire than the Day
of 'Arafah, and He
verily draws near, then
boasts of them before
the angles, saying
:'What do they seek?' “
عن عائشة _رضي الله عنھا_ عن النبي صلى الله علیھ وسلم قال: (ما من یوم أكثر من
أن یعتق الله فیھ عبدأ من النار من یوم عرفة، وإنھ لیدنو ثم یباھي بھم الملائكة فیقول: ما
أراد ھؤلاء؟).

43. یُسن الافاضة من عرفة بعد غروب الشمس بالسَكِینَة
"أیھا الناس علیكم بالسَكِینَة ، فإن البر لیس بالابضاع - أى الاسراع" -
رواه البخارى ومسلم.
So when the sun has set
you leave Arafah for
Muzdalifah, going with
calmness and tranquility,
not jostling or pushing
people; rather whenever
you find room then you
go faster.

44. Muzdalifah - 9 Dhu-l Hijjah
إذا غربت الشمس یسیر الحاج إلي مزدلفة ویصلى المغرب والعشاء والفجر ثم المكث فیھا
والاكثار من الذكر آلي قرب طلوع الشمس
When reaching Muzdalifah
pray Maghrib, then 'Ishaa,
shortening it (Qasr), and
joining the two prayers.
You do not pray anything
between them or after 'Isha.
You may collect pebbles here.
Then you sleep until Fajr.
Pray Fajr in the first part of
its time.

45. Muzdalifah (cont.)
It is permissible for weak persons and women to leave after
half of the night has passed for fear of the crush of people.
Then you come to the Mash'ar-el-Haraam (a small
mountain in Muzdalifah) and climb upon it and face the
Qiblah - then recite takbeer, tahleel, and make du'aa until
the sky becomes very bright.
Then you leave for Mina before the sun rises, calmly while
reciting talbiyah.
So when you come to the river valley of MuHassir you
hurry if possible - and it is a part of Mina.

46. Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah
إذا قرب طلوع الشمس فیسیر الحاج من
مزدلفة إلي منى فإذا وصل رمى جمرة
العقبة - وھى الاقرب إلي مكھ - بسبع
حصیات متعاقبات ویكبر مع كل حصاة.
You stone Jamrat al-'Aqabah
only on this day, with seven
small stones - slightly bigger
than the chick-pea.
You recite takbeer while
throwing each stone.
You cease reciting talbiyah
when throwing the last stone.
You cannot perform this stoning until after sunrise. And you may
delay it after noon, even up to the night, if you find difficulty in
doing it before noon.

47. Mina - 10 Dhu-l Hijjah
TaHallul
So when you has stoned the Jamrah everything becomes
lawful for you again except women, even if you have not
sacrificed or shaved your head - so you may wear your
clothes and use perfume.
However you should perform Tawaaf-ul-Ifaada on the
same day (before Maghrib) if you wish to continue in your
state of having left IHraam - otherwise, if you have not
made Tawaaf before the evening (before Maghrib) then
you return to the state of IHraam as you were before the
stoning.

48. Mina - 10 Dhu-l Hijjah
Then you shave all of your
hair off or shorten it. And
shaving is better.
Start with the right side of
the head.
The woman shortens her
hair by the length of a
finger-joint.
االلححللقق ااوو االلتتققصصییرر

49. Skip this step if you made "tawkeel"
for animal sacrifice (you bought a
coupon)
Slaughter your animal in any part of
Minna or Makkah.
The time for slaughter is the four
days of 'Eid.
Seven people may share in one
camel or cow.
And he who cannot afford a
sacrificial animal should fast three
days in Hajj (even the 3 days of
tashreeq) and seven when he returns
to his family.
Mina - 10 Dhu-l Hijjah
ویاكل منھ ویوزع على الفقراء
والھدى واجب على المتمتع والقارن

50. Makkah - 10 Dhu-l Hijjah
یذھب الحاج إلي مكھ ویطوف طواف الافاضھ (طواف الحج).
Then you go off that day
to the House and make
Tawaaf al-IfaDah in the
same way as in the
Tawaaf of arrival, except
that there is no idtiba’ or
ramal in this Tawaaf.
Pray two ra'kahs behind
Maqam Ibraheem.

51. Makkah - 10 Dhu-l Hijjah
ویسعى بین الصفا والمروة سعى الحج - وبھذا یتحلل التحلل الثاني، ویحل لھ جمیع
المحظورات حتى النساء.
Then you do sa’ye between
Safaa and Marwah as before.
And after this tawaaf you are
in a state of complete
taHallul.
Drink from Zamzam.
Return to Mina.

52. Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhu-l Hijjah
ثم یخرج الحاج بعد الطواف والسعى
إلى منى، فیبیت فیھا لیلتى احدعشر
واثنى عشر...
Stay in Mina for the days of
Tashreeq and their nights.
And stone the three Jamarat
with seven pebbles in each of
those days, after noon.
After the first and the second
Jamarat, move forward and
stand facing the Qiblah for a
long while making du'aa while
raising your hands.

53. Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhu-l Hijjah
یرمى الحاج الجمرات الثلاث في الیوم الحادى عشر والثانى عشر بعد الزوال 1- یبدأ بالاولى
وھى أبعدھن عن مكة 2- ثم الثانیة (الوسطى) 3- ثم جمرة العقبة. كل واحده بسبع حصیات
متعاقبات، یكبر مع كل حصاه، ویقف الحاج بعد الأولى والثانیھ مستقبلا القبلة یدعو الله. فإن
أتم الرمى في الیوم الثاني عشر لھ أن یتعجل فیخرج من منى قبل غروب الشمس وإن تأخر -
وھو الافضل- فیبات في منى لیلة الثالث عشر ویرمى الجِمار في وقتھا بعد الزوال.

54. Makkah - Last day
إن أراد الحاج الرجوع إلي بلده فیطوف سبعة أشواط (طواف الوداع) - والحائظ والنفساء
لیس علیھن طواف الوداع.
The Prophet PBUH said:
"None of you should depart
until he makes -as his last
act- Tawaaf of the House."
Rasoolullah PBUH used to
carry Zamzam water with
him in water skins and
containers, and He PBUH
used to pour it upon the sick
and give it to them to drink.
When you finish the Tawaaf
you leave the mosque like
the rest of the people - not
walking backwards.

55. Hajj Summary

56. Visit to Madinah
Allah's Messenger
(pbuh) declared Medina
to be as sacred as
Abraham (pbuh) had
declared Mecca to be.
The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"What lies between its
(Medina's) two lava
plains is sacred."

57. Merits of Madinah (1)
It is the land of the Prophet's
migration (pbuh).
Its people are his neighbors
and supporters.
It is the abode of Faith, for to
it returns Faith at the end of
time.
At its entrances, there are
Guardian Angels. Neither
Antichrist nor the Plague will
be admitted to it.
It will be the last city in the
world to be ruined.
It is the land of receiving
Revelation.

58. Merits of Madinah (2)
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) made
these supplications:
O Allah! Make Madinah as dear to
us as You made Makkah dear or
more. (1)
O Allah! Increase in Madinah
twice the blessing (Thou
showered) upon Makkah. (2)
O Allah! Bless our Madinah, bless
us in our Sa` and Mudd, and make
twice Thy blessing. (3)
Let him die in Madinah who can
do so.

59. Madinah
Make the intention to pray in the Masjid of the
Prophet (pbuh), not the visit of his grave.
The only two Masjids in Madinah to visit with the
intention of salat are the Masjid of the Prophet
(pbuh) and Masjid Quba (the first masjid in
Islam).
The prophet (pbuh) used to go to masjid Quba on
Saturday morning and pray two rak'as there. In a
Hadith, he (pbuh) said that doing so is equivalent
to a 'Umra.

60. Madinah
Visit the grave of the Prophet (pbuh) and say your salam
to him. But do not repeat the visit, as there is a warning
from him (pbuh) not to take his grave as Eid (i.e.
something that you do repeatedly). He said (Musnad
Ahmad, and Abu-Dawud):
لا تجعلوا بیوتكم قبورا ولا تجعلوا قبري عیدا وصلوا علي فإن صلاتكم تبلغني حیث كنتم
