Hajj Experience - Contents

Image
Hajj is fifth pillar of Islam. Alhamdullilah I had the opportunity to perform Hajj with my wife in year 2015/1436. The main reason to write this blog is to share my experience with my brothers and sisters who are planning to endeavor on this journey of a life time. When I was searching for do’s and don’ts of Hajj, I came across many books and online articles. Most of the books published are mostly limited to legalities of actions and take much of the material from older books with limited insight to what we experience on ground.

Image
Journey to Madina and Markazia   Congratulations on your luck/blessings to start the journey to Holy city of Madina. Some pilgrims directly land on Madina airport via Hajj flight, while others come from Makkah, either before or after Hajj. In case of direct Madina flight, pilgrims are moved to their respective Hotels after immigration and registration with Maktab. For Makkah to Madina Journey, buses are provided by the Muallim, which normally move after Maghrib Prayers. Pack all your stuff well before time and get details of the bus with your name. If you are going after Hajj, perform your Final tawaf well in time to reach for the journey at hotel.  Buses normally take 6-8 hours for the journey. Try to get rest before or during journey as you may reach at a time very close to next prayer.  If you are moving in night, try to get your dinner packed. Buses normally stop at mid points for dining, but food is expensive and sometimes not fresh.  O...
