Hajj and Umrah Tips & Tricks

Hajj and Umrah Tips & Tricks
Janaza (funeral prayer) & Duas

funeral
Also VERY IMPORTANT: Learn the fiqh of praying a Janaza (funeral prayer). You will be doing it after every single prayer, no joke. (There was only one prayer in our entire 2 week stay that we didn't.) Learn the dua for it too. Praying at someone's janaza is a very good thing and you have ample opportunity of participating so take them.

Also learn the dua for visiting the graveyard.

You don't want to go to the Baqi and not know what to wish! or visit the grave of the leader of the martyrs Hamza at Uhud and not say you dua!


Salams on the Prophet
Also learn the different ways to send Salams on the prophet (saw) for the time you are in Madina.
Learn what is allowed and what is not. Insha Allaah after this Hajj season, I will try and put an article on Loving the Prophet sallahualahiwassalam


Another good suggestion is to draw a chart of the Kaaba (looking from above) and along each of it's walls (and along each of the special points), write the relevant duas

PREPARE yourself mentally for a lot of frustration, mental anguish, annoyance and anger. To obtain a Hajj Mabrur (one that is accepted and forgives all your sins) you must not let these things interfere with your goal.

PREPARE yourself physically for a lot of walking and physical exercise. You may be walking back and forth from your hotel to the Haram at least 10 times a day, not to mention logging Tawafs and Sai'ys that come out to miles in the end.

Hajj Fun Game

hajj fun game
My comments: Just missed my favourite ways to learn about Hajj - the game board way. After all one of the things we try to do at our Burooj Chidlren circle is play, interact and then learn.

So this is for all those parents who want their kids as well to be a part of their enthusiasm.

Description:

The Hajj Fun Game offers you entertainment and fun and at the same time makes it easy for you to learn the meaning and message of hajj and to acquire a knowledge of the important historical places associated with it. It will enable you to learn how the acts and rites are performed during hajj and what its dos and don'ts are. In short, the Hajj Fun Game will bring alive the annual pilgrimage of Hajj.

Price: $19.99
