the way to Haaj

[Abu Eliyas]

People start to go for Haaj


what do you feel in this days?

what do you feel when you hug same one going to the Haaj?

what we can do here if we are not going to Haaj?

[El Rey]

My priority and dream is to go to Umra and Hajj. I really want to go there so bad. Am arranging my schedule to be able to go there very soon. Insha allah I will. It feels so good just to see the practice of pilgriming around ka'ba, imagine if you are just there. And I want to see our prophet's :PBUH: tomb and greet him PBUH.

honestly? the best part of Eid Al-Adha to me is the chants of the pilgrims, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. i love it! :love:

what do you feel in this days?
peaceful.

what do you feel when you hug same one going to the Haaj?
lol, that's a weird question..i don't know. when i usually hug someone who's back from Hajj, it's just because i've missed them terribly.

what we can do here if we are not going to Haaj?
watch them on TV, and wish we were in their shoes. :)

do you really want to go very soon

specify a date and make your book from now and see if it wark for you very fast or not

[Soulless]

i didnt specify the exact date when i will decide to go there , because i just feel that am not ready , need to change some things in my life before going there.
i dont think it will be soon.

but yeah hugging them before they go means some thing , because seriously they may never come back alive.

Bismillah,

I haven't gone on Hajj yet, Inshallah i'm plannin on going next year. Regarding what to do if you can't go on Hajj, I've made a list of things that are benefical during this time:

1) Fast all nine days and especially fast the Day of 'Arafah:The Prophet :PBUH: said: "Anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years."

2) Do a lot of Dhikr and Takbeer:
The Prophet :PBUH: said: "There are no days on which good deeds are greater or more beloved to Allaah than on these ten days, so recite much Tahleel (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah), Takbeer (saying Allaahu akbar) and Tahmeed (saying al-hamdu Lillaah)."

3) Stand in Night Prayers:
Remember the virtues of spending the night in prayer, and its sweetness in Ramadan?! Why not revive this beautiful act of worship during these nights as well?!
Remember, how in the last third of every night, Allah Almighty calls out to us, His servants: Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?

4)Make Sincere Repentance:
One of the best and most important things to do during these ten days is to repent sincerely to Allah (swt) and to give up all kinds of disobedience and sin right away because we do not know when we will die, and also because one evil deed leads to another.

5) Come back to the Qur'an:
It is time now to dust off your copy of the Qur'an and return to its refuge. Make it a daily habit, using these 10 days the beginning of a strong and beautiful relationship with it. Read it with meaning, understand it, and then implement it and change your lives for the better, as much as you can.

6) Generally increase in doing ALL good deeds:
We should strive in doing more good deeds in general, because good deeds are beloved by Allaah and will bring us closer to Him. So if we are not able to go to Hajj this year, we should occupy ourselves during these blessed days by worshipping Allaah, praying extra prayers, reading Qur'aan, remembering Allah (swt), sending Salaams on the Prophet :PBUH: , making dua, giving charity, honoring our parents, upholding ties of kinship, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds and acts of worship.

7) Get the reward of Hajj wherever you are:
You may be unable to do Hajj this year, and you may feel sad because you are deprived of the great reward of Hajj. But you can achieve a similar reward in whatever place you may be.
The Prophet :PBUH: said: "Whoever prays Fajr Prayer in congregation, and then sits and remembers Allah until the sun rises, then (after a while) prays two rak'as, he will gain a reward equal to that of making perfect Hajj and Umrah." [He repeated the word "perfect" thrice.]

8) Slaughter an animal and distribute the meat:
Ibn Umar said: The Prophet :PBUH: lived in Madeenah for 10 years and every year he slaughtered an animal."

9) Attend Eid prayers:
But remember that Eid prayer is a form of worship and we shouldn't be doing things that are unIslamic (especially) during these times.

10) Thank Allah (swt):
One of the biggest forms of worshipping Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala is to thank Him, deeply, sincerely and continuously. After all, it is He who gave you every single thing that is in you, on you or around you. In fact, you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the Mercy of your Creator.

Alhamdulillah, there is much to be gained in these coming days. So make the most of this perfect opportunity offered by these invaluable and irreplaceable ten days. Hasten to do good deeds and appreciate this blessing and make the most of it, striving hard in worship.

Hope you can benefit from this :)

I just feel like: "I can't wait to go". I envy people who are/did :)

[Superbia]

^ Your dad goes almost every year! Why don't you go with him? :)

[Endure Whisper]

^ He hasn't been to Hajj for the past 4 years now!

Well, I only got the "I can't wait to go" feeling recently.
