THE HAJJ
After entering into Islam by accepting faith (Iman) there are four worship (Ibadat)
that become obligatory. These are (1) The Salaah (2) Sayam (Fasting) (3)
Zakaah (Charity) and (4) Hajj (Pilgrimage). What is Hajj ? Hajj is performed
by wearing the Ehram and entering the inner limits of the Holy Kaba (also
known as Haram Sharif) the Pilgrim (Hajji) must go (seven times) round the
Holy Kaba, known as Tawaf (meaning going round and round) and close by there
is a place where one has to run and another place where one has to stop for
some time and sacrifice is offered and the hair is shaved (for men only) and
other things which will be mentioned in detail later, this is Hajj. The
Virtues and importance of Hajj ? Hajj is obligatory and one who does not
belive it as an obligatory is a non-believer (Kafir). It is obligatory once
in the life time. It is a major sin not to perform the Hajj, to the extent
there is fear that one may die as a non-believer and by performing Hajj
there is a lot of reward and blessings in performing this obligation. The
beloved Prophet Peace and Blessing Upon Him has said, all the sins that one
had before performing Hajj, Hajj will get rid of all these sins and he said,
Hajj for the weak and for the women is Jihad (Holy War) and he said, the
pilgrim will be forgiven and he said, whoever the pilgrim makes supplication
(Dua) for him too and he said, on every step one will get Ten Million
rewards written in the book of good deeds and he said, the pilgrimage that
is accepted the only reward is Paradise and he said, whoever travelled for
Hajj and died on the way will enter Paradise without accounting and until
the Day of Resurrection will be rewarded with the reward of performing Hajj
and there are many rewards, however, we have only listed a few. As soon as a
person becomes eligible for Hajj, it becomes obligatory to undertake this
pilgrimage at the first available opportunity meaning if this year than this
year and to delay is a major sin and if delayed for few years than one will
be a sinner and giving witness will not be accepted, however, when the Hajj
is performed it will current (Ada) and not out of it?s time (Qaza) . The
time for Hajj and the conditions - The time for Hajj is from the month of
Shawwal (10th month of Hijri calender) till the 10th of Dhil-Hajj (the 12th
the last month of Hijri calendar). Before Shawwal and after 10th Dhil-Hajj
the Hajj can not be performned, however, the Ehram can be worn before this,
however, this is makrooh . There are eight conditions for Hajj, when all are
fulfilled Hajj becomes obligtory (Fardh). These conditions are: (1) To be a
Muslim. (2) If residing in Darul Harb (a city or place which has not had an
Islamic ruling) and to have the knowledge of the obligations of religion.
(3) To be an adult. (pass the age of pubity). (4) To be sane. (meaning it is
not obligatory on one who is mental). (5) To be independent (not a slave).
(6) To be in good health to perform Hajj (meaning Hajj is not obligatory on
a handicapped person, a blind and one whose legs have been amputated, or one
who is so old and is unable to sit on a transport by themselves, for them
Hajj is not obigatory. Rule: If a person was capable in all respects and met
the criteria, however, did not perform Hajj and now became handicapped etc.
and can not perform Hajj, then the Hajj is still obligatory. If the Hajj can
not be performed it should be performned by another person on his behalf .
(7) One should possess enough resources for Hajj, this means leaving the
neccessity, one has enough resources that one can travel to Makkah and
return and in between can afford the expence for oneself and one who is with
him. Leave sufficient money for the household expenses in his absence after
meeting all expenses such as travel, transport, stay at the Holy Places etc;
this means the money left at home should be suffcient for the family left
behind, those dependent on him for their essential necessities, known as
Hajjat-e-Asliyah. What are the necessities ? This means the living
accommodation, clothing, servants, riding animals (transport), vocational
implements, cooking and eating material, debt (borrowings or dues such as
loan) . One who is dependant upon the business run by themselves, if one can
leave such quantity of financial security which would not only meet the
demands of the family during his absence, however, would also enable one to
resume business with that money, without disturbing the normal affairs of
the family. In this case, Hajj shall be obligatory, and similarly if a
KASHTAKAR then after meeting all essential expenses, beginning with his
departure from and arrival back home, one will have sufficient amount kept
at home to bear the expenses of the implements purchase of seeds,
(machinery) etc. on return; then Hajj shall be obligatory and similarly?????
. (8) Time: meaning all the conditions are fulfilled within the time of Hajj
when one reaches Makkah. Who are the Mehram? Rule: For a female travelling
to Makkah, if the distance is of three days or more then she be accompanied
by her husband or a Mehram whether the women is young or old and the husband
or the Mehram who she can travel with, for him to be sane, adult, not be a
fasiq-wrong doer (commits sins in the open) Rule: If a women went without
her husband or without a Mehram she will be sinful, however, if she performs
Hajj the Hajj will count meaning the obligation will be fulfilled. PROCEDURE

Then moving forward and when reaching Makkah, first of all enter the
Masjid-e-Haram, remembering Allah and His Messenger all the time and praying
for the success and prosperity of all the Muslims, in this world and in the
Hereafter. Reciting the Labaik approach the gate of Bab-us-Salaam and kiss

falls on the Holy Kaba recite the following three times: ?La ilaha illal
lahu, Wal Lahu Akbar?, recite Durood and this Dua: DUA Commence Tawaf (going
round the Khana-e-Kaba) in the Name of Almighty Allah. The Tawaf begins from
the Hajjar-e-Aswad, when one approaches Hajjar-e-Aswad, recite this Dua:
TRANSLATION:-There is no god but Allah the One, He made His Promise True and
He helped His (Apostle) servant (against the infidels) and vanquished their
forces. He is Absolutely One, He has no Associate ( in His Godhood), The
rule of the world belongs to Him, all Praise is due to Him and He has Power
(and Authority) over every things. Before starting Tawaf men must perform
Istabaa , now facing the Kaba with the Hajjar-e-Aswad on the right, standing
by the Rukn-e-Yaman in such a manner that the full view of Hajjar-e-Aswas
remains at his right hand. Now make the intention of the Tawaf saying: "O
Allah! I intend to make Tawaf of Your sacred House, so make it easy for me
and accept it from me". After the intention face towards the Kaba, moving on
the right side and when Hajjar-e-Aswad is in front of you raise both hands
so that the palms of the hands face the Hajjar-e-Aswad and say: TRANSLATION:
Now if it is possible, try keeping the palms at the sides with the face
inbetween and kiss Hajjar-e-Aswad three times without making a sound. If one
succeeds to touch the Hajjar-e-Aswad with his lips, then regard oneself as
the most fortunate that one is blessed with the Divine favor to allow him to
kiss the Hajjar-e-Aswad to which the lips of the Holy Prophet Peace and
Blessing Upon Him had graced by their holy touch. If on account of public
one can not succeed to kiss the Hajjar-e-Aswad, do not resort to push and
shove. If one can touch the Hajjar-e-Aswad by the hands, it is enough for
him to touch the Hajjar-e-Aswad, and then kiss his hands. If this is not
possible then kiss the palms of the hands. This process of kissing is known
as Istilaam. At the time of Istilaam recite the following Dua: "O Allah!
Forgive me of my sins and purify my heart and expand my breast and make easy
my affair and give me protection and those whom You gave protection". "O
Allah! I affair my Eiman with You, and testify the Truth of Your Book (The
Holy Quran) and fulfill The Promise with You and obey and follow the Sunnah
of Your Prophet Muhammad - Peace and Blessing Upon Him - and bear witness
that there is no god however, Allah The only One, there is associate with
Aim, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Sallahllaho Alaihe Wa Sallam) Abid
and apostle. I affirm my Eiman with Allah and denounce (reject) the and the
Devil? Saying this, proceed towards the door of the Kaba and while
performing so, when one has passed by the Hajjar-e-Aswad, stand erect and
walk in such a manner that the Kaba is on the left. While walking do not
trouble any one, if possible it is better to remain close to the Kaba,
however, not too close that the body or clothing touch the Kaba, when one
reaches the Multazam, recite this Dua: TRANSLATION:- O Allah! This House is
Your House, and The Sacred Place of Your Sacred Place, and The Peace of Your
Peace and this is Your Place of protection from the Fire (of Hell), so
protect me from the Fire (of Hell). O Allah! give me contentment with what
Your have provide me and grant blessing (and affluence) in it and I pray in
absence of those who are not present. There is no god however, Allah the
One, there is none to associate Him, The governance of the Universe belongs
to Him, all Praise is due to Him, and He has Power (and Authority) over
every thing. And when one comes near the Rukn-e-Iraqi, recite this Dua: O
Allah! I seek Your refuge form prevarication (skepticism) and infidelity
(disbelief), And when one reaches Meezaab-e-Rehmat, recite the following Dua:
O Allah! Give me shade below the Shade of Your Throne on the Day when there
is no Shade except Your shade and nothing shall survive except Your
countenance and make me drink from the Pond of Your Apostle Muhammad -Peace
and Blessing Upon Him- the sweet drink after which there shall be thirst for
ever. And when one reaches Rukn-e-Shami, recite the following Dua: O Allah!
Make this as Hajj-e-Mabroor (Rule of Goodness and Blessing) and the
endeavour (worthy) of Thankfulness and the trade/business where there is no
loss O one Who Knows what is in the heart (breast). Take me away from the
darkness towards the Noor, light. And when one comes to the Rukne-e-yamani,
touch it with both hands or kiss it with the right hand, he may also kiss it
if so desired; and recite this Dua: O Allah! I beseech Your Forgiveness and
Security in this world and in the Hereafter Just ahead of the Rukne-e-Yamani
there is Mustajab. One may recite the above mentioned Dua or recite: Or he
may only recite Durood Sharif Dua, Durood etc. should not be recited very
loudly. Now after circulating the Kaba one returns to the Hajjar-e-Aswad,
this is One Full Circuit. Even at this point offer Istilam at the
Hajjar-e-Aswad, in this manner perform six more rounds, meaning a total of
seven circuits. In the first three rounds perform Ramal, when one completes
seven circuits, one has performed One Tawaf. This is known as Tawaf-e-Qudoom.
After Tawaf proceed to Maqam-e-Ibrahim, reciting the verse: VERSE And offer
two rakats of Salaah, this is Wajib. In the first rakat recite, ?Qul Ya
Ayuhal Kafiroon? and in the second rakat ?Qul huwallahu Ahad? After the
Salaah make Dua, it states in the Hadith: O Allah! You know my secrets and
open apparent things of mine, therefore accept my excuse You know my needs
therefore grant my requests (baggings); You know what is in my self, so
forgive my sins. O Allah! I beg you of Eiman (asa) pleasure of my heart and
the true certainly. You know only that will befall me what You have written
(ordained) for me and make my livelihood (subsistence) as a means of
contentment for me what You have apportioned for me O the most merciful of
the merciful ones). After Salaah and Dua proceed to the Multazam and embrace
the Multazam near the Hajjar-e-Aswad. Embrace in such a manner that the
chest and both the cheeks on the Multazam, spread both the arms over the
head and resting on the wall or place the right hand near the door of the
Kaba and the left hand towards the Hajjar-e-Aswad and recite this Dua:
TRANSLATION:- After embracing Multazam, proceed to the well of Zam Zam. If
possible draw a bucket of water from the well of Zam Zam, otherwise get the
water from another person facing towards the Kaba drinking as much Zam Zam
to the fill in three breaths whilst standing. Begin with ?Bismillah? and
finish with ?Alhamdu Lillah? glancing each time at the Kaba. The remaining
water may be poured on the body, the hands, face and make Dua whilst
drinking as it is a time of acceptance. The Holy Prophet (Allah's grace and
peace be upon him) has said that the reason for drinking of Zam Zam is for
that reason and the Dua for that is this: Translation: O Allah! I beseech
You The Knowledge which is Beneficial, the subsistence which is vast
(abundant) and the Deed which is worth acceptance (and reward) and The Cure
for all diseases (ailments) or the all embracing due quoted earlier). It is
also blissful to look into the Well of Zam Zam from above the ground it also
removes rancour and hypocrisy from the heart. Now, if one is not tired
proceed for the Sa?ee. Before proceeding for the Sa?ee go to Hajjar-e-Aswad
kiss it if possible keeping the face towards it reciting ?Allahu Akbar Wa
Laila ha Il lul Lah Wal Hamdu Lillah? and reciting Durood immediately
proceed to the Hill of Safa (leave the Mosque with the left foot and when
wearing the footwear commence with the right. Follow this procedure for
every Mosque you go to and recite the Dua for coming out of the Mosque that
has been mentioned before). Remembering Allah and reciting Durood climb the
first step only and do not go future as it is not permissible and before
climbing the stairs recite the following: TRANSLATION:- Then turning towards
Kaba, raising both hands upto the shoulder leaving a gap between the hands
and make Dua, the length of time which is taken for Dua is twenty five
verses of the Surah Baqarah, repeating durood, tasbeeh, Kalama-e-Tayyibah,
pray for one's own self, his parents, friends kith and kin and the Ummah.
This is the place when prayers are accepted and pray Dua-e-Jam?i. INTENTION
OF SA?EE -After the Dua make intention for Sa?ee, The intention for Sa?ee
is: O Allah! I intend performing Sa?ee between Safa and Marwah, so make it
easy for me and accept it from me. Then coming down from Safa, proceed
towards Marwa making Dhikr and Durood and when reaching the middle, walk
swiftly between the marked place with green lights, then walk slowly upto
Marwa and climb the first step, to the extent the area around here signifies
going up the Marwa this is why do not recline against the wall which is the
practice of the ignorant people. Here on account of new structures the view
of Kaba is not possible, however, face towards Kaba like one did at Safa.
Repeating and reciting Dua and Durood as usual, when one reaches the green
area walk swiftly until the green area finishes then walk normally and climb
Safa. This completes the second round of Sa?ee. In the same manner proceed
from Safa to Marwa this will be the third round then from Marwa to Safa this
will be the fourth round, likewise go for the fifth, sixth and seventh
round. The seven rounds will finish at Marwa. To walk seven times is called
Sa?ee. It will start from Safa and finish at Marwa and in-between Safa and
Marwaa and from Marwa to Safa there is a place where one will walk swiftly.
Now stay in Makkah until the 8th and repeat the Labaikh and perform Tawaf
without Istib?a, Ramal, and Sa?ee and after every seven circuits offer two

has passed; both these prayers shall be offered as regular prayers not Qaza
but as Ada, first the Fardh of Maghrib then immediately the Fardh of Isha,
then the Sunnah of Maghrib and Isha, then the Witr of Isha. After these
Salaah the rest of the night should be spent in Durood, Dua and Dhikr,
because this is the most auspicious time and the most auspicious place. THE

Mina with the Imam and from here pick up seven small stones the size of
dateseeds from a clean place and wash them three time and keep them with

accept my repentance and grant my prayers. And on reaching Mina before
performing anything else go to Jamratul Aqbah. Stand at least five feet away
as before Makkah in between the NALE stay on the transport, Mina on the
right and the Kaba on the left and face the Jamara. METHOD OF RAMI - Take a
stone in the Index finger and the thumb and raising the arm high enough so
that the arm pit becomes visible, pray this and throw the stone: In the Name
of Allah, Great is Allah, I strike Shaitan to please Rehman the Most
Beneficent. O Allah! Make this as the Hajj-e-Mabroor and the Endeavour of
Thankfulness and the Forgiveness of sins. It is better that the stones reach
the Jamara, if not then throw it from three feet, if it falls further away
it will not count. In this way throw seven stones one by one and stop
reciting Labbaik at the strike of the very first stone. When the seventh
stone is thrown do not stay there any longer, at once return reciting Dhikr
and Dua. After the Rami perform the Sacrifice (Qurbani). After the Sacrifice
pray to Almighty Allah for the acceptance of the Hajj and Sacrife for you
and all the Muslims. After the sacrifice sit facing the Qibla (Kaba) and
perform the Halq meaning having the hair of head shaven or trim the hair (as
he may desire), however, shaving the head is better. Shaving of head is
forbidden for women, they should cut their hair only an inch. Bury the hair,
all the things usually removed from the body such as hair, nails etc. should
also be buried. Here do not clip the nails before shaving the hair and do
not take the beard or the moustache or else a Damm (compensation) will due.
If after shaving the hair one trims the moustache, takes the hair below the
navel then it is permissible and it is mustahab, however, do not take the
beard off. First shave the hair on the right side and then the left
reciting: ?Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Lailaha illal Lahu Wallhu Akbar Wa
Lillahil Hamd? Continue to recite this until all the hair is shaven and
recite it after too and when shaving the hair also recite this Dua: All
praise is due to Allah on what he guided us and send reward to us and
allowed us to fulfil the rites (etc). O Allah! This forehead of mine is in
Your Hand, so make all my hairs a Noor (Divine Light) on the Day of
Judgement, and remove evils from me and as a reward of it elevate my status
in the lofty Paradise. O Allah! Bless me in my self and accept (endeavours)
of mine. O Allah! Forgive me and those who have shaven their heads and
trimmed their hairs, O with Vast Forgiveness). And pray forgiveness for the
entire Ummah. Now all things, which were forbidden in the state of Ehram now
have become permissible except intercourse with one?s wife or to touch, to
kiss or look at them in a lustful manner or their private parts, which are
still forbidden. Now after shaving the hair, it is better that today on the
10th to reach Makkah for the Fardh (obligatory) Tawaf, this Tawaf is the
second Rukn (Obligation) of Hajj. This Tawaf will be performed the same way
like the first Tawaf, however, there is no Istabaa, after this offer two
Rakats. Now the women are permissible and the processes of Hajj are now
complete. However, proceed to Mina to spend the 11th and 12th night, this is
Sunnah, as it is Sunnah to stay in Mina during the 10th night. RITES OF THE
11th - On the 11th after the Dhur prayer listen to the Khutba (sermon) of
the Imam and proceed for Rami. In these days, begin from the first Rami

hill and if possible face Qibla throwing seven stones like one did on the
10th. After the 7th stone proceed a little facing Kaba raise the hands for
Dua in a manner that the palms remain towards the Qibla and stay there for a
time it takes to recite twenty verses of the Holy Quran by praising Allah,
Durood and other Duas or the most time it takes to pray Surah Baqarah. Then
proceed to the Jamarah Wasta for Rami and Dua. Then finally, proceed to the
Jamrah Al Aqba for Rami, however, do not stay there, return immediatley
making Dua on the way then on the 12th in the same manner after Zawwal
(Midday) perform Rami of all three Jamarah. RITES ON THE 12th ? After
perfroming the stoning on the 12th before the Sunsets, depart for Makkah one
may stay if desired. Return on the 13th, however, on the 13th afternoon
after performing the stoning one will have to leave as this is better. On
the last day meaning the 12th or 13th when returning from Mina go to Makkah,
get down from the transport at Wadi Mohsab which is situated near Jannat ul
Mala, stay there for some time and pray and it is better if all the Salaah
until Isha are offered. One may have short sleep and then enter Makkah. Now
from 13th until one desires, stay at Makkah, however, until one resides in
Makkah continue to perform Umrah(s) and visit Holy Places . When one wishes
to leave Makkah perform Tawaf-e-Wida (Farewell) without Ramal and Sa?ee.
This Tawaf is Wajib on all those coming from other places. After the Tawaf
offer two rakat at Maqame-e-Ibrahim, one can drink the Zam Zam and pour it
over one?s self. Then standing at the door of the Kaba, kiss the holy place
and pray for the acceptance of the Hajj and the desire to enable to come and
perform pilgrimage again and again and recite the Dua-e-Jami or this Dua:
The Beggar has come at Your performor-steps, he begs Your Blessing and
belief-full knowledge of You and entertains hope of Your Mercy (O Allah!)
Then come to Multazam and holding the cover (ghilaf) of the Kaba and
embracing it make Dhikr, Durood and Dua or recite the following Dua: All
Praise id due to Allah Who guided unto this and we were not able to guide
ourselves unless Allah guided us. O Allah! grant us guidance as You have
guided us for this and accept it as (endeavour) from us and perform not make
this as the last promise (to visit) for Your Sacred House (Bait il Haram)
and grant me subsistence to return to it (again and again) so long as You
are pleased, In the Name of Your Mercy, O the most Merciful of those who
show mercy. And all Praise is due for Allah the Lord sustainer of (all) the
worlds and Peace and grace of Allah be on Muhammad (peace be upon him) and
his kin and his companions. Then kiss the Hajjar-e-Aswad and cry reciting
this Dua: O Allah! the Provider of Felicity in His Land, I state witness (or
give evidence) of You (Your Favors) and Allah is Sufficient as Witness. I
give evidence (stand witness) by (the Faith) that there in no god however,
Allah and I also give evidence (asa witness) that Muhammad id The Apostle of
Allah and I shall repeat and proclaim this evidence in the Presence of Allah
the Most Dignified in the Day of Judgment, the Day of greatest mental
distraction. O Allah I stand witness in Your (Your Name) on this (matter)
and His great Angels state witness by this (truth). And Allah Peace and
grace be on our Master and Chief (saiyad) Hadhrat Muhammad (peace be upon
him) and an progeny and companions all together. Now leaving the Mosque and
turning back towards Kaba crying from its separation leave through the doors
of Masjid-e-Haram by placing the left foot out and reciting the Dua. It is
better to leave the Masjid from Babul Hazwara . Then what ever you can give
to the beggars give and proceed to Madinah . On reaching Madinah go to the
grave of the Prophet Sallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. Among the mentioned rites
with the performance of Hajj, some aspects are Fardh, and some are Wajib,
while some are Sunnah. If anything among the Fardh is missed then the Hajj
is invalid. If any Wajib is missed the Hajj will count, however, it will he

perform Tawaf and Sa?ee and after this have the head shaven or trimming the
hair and taking off the Ehram. Ehram is Shart-e-Ada (primary condition) and
shaving of the head is the secondary condition . Umrah is Sunnah, it is not
Wajib and can be performed many times in the year which means Umrah can be
performed throughout the year except on five days in the year . In Umrah
Tawaf is only Fardh (obligatory) while Sa?ee and Halq (shaving or trimming
the hair) is Wajib. All the conditions of Umrah are the same as those of
Hajj, except for time, all the. The thing which renders Umrah as completely
void is to have intercourse before having completed four rounds of Tawaf.
METHOD OF UMRAH: Any one who wants to perform Umrah, wear the Ehram from
Meeqat or any place before Meeqat and make the intetnion of Umrah by
offering two rakats of Nafil with the intention of Ehram and recite this Dua
after salaam: O Allah! I intend (to perform) for Umrah, so make it easy
(convenient and practicable) for me and accept this Umrah from me and I wish
to observe sanctity of this (Umrah) with all sincerity (and humility) for
ALLAH The Almighty and Supreme. And after this recite louldy the full Labaik,
recite durood and make Dua, another Dua is: O Allah! I beseech Your Pleasure
and I seek Your Refuge from Your wrath and the Fire (of He'll). Now avoid
performing those things that are forbidden in the state of Ehram mentioned
for the Hajj. Then perform Tawaf, after Tawaf perform Sa?ee. Perform Tawaf
and Sa?ee in the same manner as the pilgrim for Hajj. After having performed
Tawaf and Sa?ee, have the head shaven or trimmed. Now the Umrah is complete,
one may now take off the Ehram. In Umrah, while commencing the Tawaf
immediately having kissed the Hajjar-e-Aswad, stop reciting Labbaik . QIRAN
AND TAMATTU There are four types of people in Ehram - There are three types
of Hajj. One is the Exclusive Hajj, this is known as Ifrad while the Hajji
is called Mufrid. For this Hajj, the intention after the Salam is: O Allah!
I intend (to perform) Hajj so make it easy for me and accept it as from me.
I have made Intention of the Hajj and have wear the Ehram with it in
absolute sincerity and devotion for (the Pleasure of) Allah the Most
Elevated The Second type is intending solely for Umrah and wear the Ehram
and in Makkah wear the Ehram for Hajj. This is known as Tamattu and the
Hajji is called Motamatt'e. After Salam make the following intention: O
Allah! I intend performing Umrah, so make it easy for me, I have performne
the Intention of Umrah and I have wear the Ehram for it with due solemnity
and devotion in the Name of Allah the Most Elevate). The Third type of Hajj
is to make the intention of Hajj and Umrah from the beginning. This is
called Qiran and this is the most virtuous and the Hajji is called Qarin.
After Salam make the following intention: O Allah! I intend
(performing/performing) Umrah and the Hajj, so make both easy for me and
accept both from me, I have made mode Intention for Umrah and the Hajj and
wear Ehram for both in due solemnity and sincerity in the Name (and for the
sake) of Allah the Most Elevated) In all situations recite Labbaik after
making the intention in a loud voice . THE PROCEDURE FOR QIRAN When the
pilgrim intends to perform Qiran, make preparations in the same manner as a
Mufrid. Perform ablution or bath with the Intention of Ehram, offer two
Rakats and after Salaam make the intention for Qiran: O Allah! I intend
performing Umrah and Hajj (both) so make them easy for me and accept them
from me. I am making Intention for Umrah and Hajj and have wear the Ehram
for both with due solemnity and sincerity in the Name of Allah the Most
Elevated then recite Labbaik with the intention of performing Umrah and Hajj
together recite Durood and make Dua then begin the process of Umrah, when
one reaches Makkah for Umrah perform seven circutis Tawaf , as it is
performned by the Mufrid after that perform Sa?ee between Safa and Marwa
this will complete the rituals of Umrah. However, neither take off the Ehram
nor have the haircut, now perform the Tawaf-e-Qadoom for Hajj and perform
the Sa?ee and perform the other rites of the Hajj as performed by the Mufrid.
Rule: If the Qarin does not have the capability to perform Qurbani that one
does not possess enough money besides the neccessity nor has assets which
may be sold to secure the sacrificial animal, then fast for ten days, from
them, three are kept at spcified times meaning between the first of Shawwal
til the 9th of Dhil-Hajj, especially on the 7th, 8th and 9th or before this
and it is better to complete fasting by the 9th and this is upto oneself at
ones convenience. It is not necessary to fast three together and the
remaining seven fasts can be kept after the period of Hajj meaning after the
13th Dhil-Hajj, on the 13th or before this is not allowed. These seven fasts
may be kept at ones convinience either there or at home after the return and
it is better to keep them after one returns at home and for all the fast the
intention should be performned at night . Rule: If the three fast are not
kept before the 9th, fasting afterwards will not be sufficent and
compensation (Dam) becomes Wajib. Offer the compensation (Dam) and come out
of Ehram and if compansation can not be offered either shave or trim the
hair and separate oneself from the Ehram and now two compensations are Wajib.
THE PROCEDURE FOR TAMATTU Wear the Ehram for Umrah from or before Meeqat and
on reaching Makkah perform seven circuits of Tawaf then perform Sa?ee and
after shave or trim the hair, now the Umrah is complete. Take off the Ehram
and stay it Makkah. Then on the 8th wear the Ehram from Masjid-e-Haram or
the Haram of Hajj and complete the Hajj like the Hajji Mufrid except for the
Tawaf-e-Qudoom. Rule: If sacrifice is not afforabale, fast the same way as
the Hajji performing Qiran . Rule: If the Motamatti has not brought an
animal to sacrifice then one will become free after performing Umrah and if
brought (animal) Hudi Mut'ah he shall remain with Ehram as long as the rites
of Hajj are fulfilled . Rule: The difference between the person who brings
an animal of sacrifice and the one who does not is that if an animal was not
brought, and after Umrah takes off the Ehram and wears the Ehram for Hajj
than if there is any Janayat CHECK URDU TEXT PAGE 39 the penalty is like the
Mufrid. If the Ehram of Umrah was on, the penalty is like that of the Qarin.
And if the animal was brought then the penalty in any case is like that of a
Qarin . Rule: If the person performing Tamattu renders the Hajj and Umrah
invalid then give compensation by performing the Qaza and pay the penalty by
giving Dam, however, the sacrifice of Tamattu is not due. Things which are

Meeqat without Ehram To pass Meeqat without Ehram, from the Meeqat KHOOSHK
Pg 51and without Ehram one went to Makkah even if there is no intention to
perform Hajj or Umrah but Hajj or Umrah becomes Wajib, now one should go
back to Meeqat and wear the Ehram, if one does not go to Meeqat but wear the
Ehram in Makkah then Dam becomes Wajib. Rule: If one passes Meeqat without
Ehram then wears the Ehram of Umrah then for Hajj or performed Qiran then
Dam becomes necceccasry and if the Ehram is worn for Hajj then the Ehram for
Umrah while in Haram then two Dams are due . To wear another Ehram when
already in Ehram If one wears the Ehram of Hajj then one on the day or night
of Arafah, he wears another Ehram for Hajj after the Halq then one should
remain in Ehram and complete the second the next year and Dam is not Wajib
and if the Halq is not done then Dam becomes Wajib . Rule: If one completed
all the rites of Umrah and only Halq was remaining, so one wore another
Ehram for Umrah then Dam becomes Wajib and becomes a sinner. Rule: It is
forbidden for the person performing Hajj to wear the Ehram from the 10th
till the 13th of Dhil-Hajj and if one wears the Ehram, take it off and
perform Qaza and give Dam and if fulfill, Dam still is Wajib. THE MOHSAR One
who wears the Ehram for Hajj or Umrah but for a certain reason could not
fulfill it this is called Mohsar. The circumstances which may prevent one
from performing Hajj or Umrah are as following: (1) The enemy (2) Wild beast
(3) Illness or disease that is likely to go worse or you think it may go
worse (4) Breaking of hands or feet (5) Imprisonment (6) The death of
husband or Mehram with whom she was going on Hajj (7) Iddat (period of
mourning by the widow or loss of transport, the husband does not allow the
wife for a Nafil Hajj. COMMANDS FOR THE MOHSAR The rule for the Mohsar is
that one can not take off the Ehram unless one reaching Makkah and performs
Tawaf, Sa'ee and the Halq. If one wills to take off the Ehram one must send
the sacrifice to Haram, when the sacrifice is done, the Ehram can be taken
off or send the amount of sacrifice to Haram so a animal may be purchased
and sacrificed it is also necessary that one must express to the messenger
whom one has authorised to carry the money that the animal be sacrificed on
such a date and at such a time and after this time one will come out of the
Ehram. If the Qurbani is done on time or before then it is alright and if
done after and one comes to know later one must offer Dam as he come out of
Ehram before the animal was sacrificed, it is not a condition for a Mohsar
to have the Halq done but is better do so . Rule: If the Mohsar is a Mufrid
(meaning one wearing the Ehram only for Hajj or Umrah), then send one
Qurbani and if a Qarin send two . For this Qurbani Haram is a condition. It
can not be done outside, there is however, no fix time limit for the
sacrifice . Rule: If the Qarin sent two Qurbanies but only one animal could
be purchased then only one will not suffice . Rule: If the Qarin performed
Tawaf for Umrah and became a Mohsar before the Wuqoof of Arafat, send one
Qurbani and in place of the Hajj perform one Hajj and one Umrah, another
Umrah is not neccessary . Rule: If the thing which prevented one from going
has passed and there is enough time for both Hajj and Qurbani then to go is
obligatory and if one went and performed Hajj then there is no problem if
not then perform Umrah and come out of the Ehram and the Qurbani sent, you
have now got back then do as one wills with it. Rule: After Wuqoof-e-Arafah
there is no AHSAR Pg 53 and if still in Makkah but the Tawaf and Wuqoof
QADAR Pg 53 one will be a Mohsar and from either one is Qadir on one then
one will not be a Mohsar . Rule: When the Mohsar sends the Qurbani and comes
out of Ehram, now one wants to offer Qaza then if the Ehram was only for
Hajj then perform one Hajj and one Umrah and if the Ehram was for Qiran then
perform one Hajj and two Umrahs and if the perseption is to offer Qaza for
the Qiran then perform one Umrah or all three separately and if the Ehram
was for only Umrah then perform one Umrah . THE LOSS OF THE HAJJ One whose
Hajj is lost, meaning one does not perform the Wuqoof-e-Arafat then perform
Tawaf and Sa?ee shave his hair or trim the hair and come out of Ehram and
perform the Hajj the next year and Dam is not Wajib . Rule: If Qarin loses
his Hajj perform Sa'ee and Tawaf for Umrah then perform another Tawaf and
Sa'ee and perform the Halq and by this the Dam of Qiran will be waived and
perform Tawaf as soon as this is done come out of the Ehram, as soon as
commencing this stop reciting Labbaik and perform the Qaza of the Hajj next
year, there is no Qaza for Umrah as this has already been done . Rule: The
one performing Tamattu brought an animal for Qurbani and the Tamattu becomes
void for some reason one may do what one likes with the animal. Rule: Umrah
can not be lost as it can be performed the whole lifetime, however, Umrah is
makrooh during five days meaning from the 9th Dhil-Hajj to 13th Dhil-Hajj .
Rule: Tawaf-e-Sadr does not have to be performed if a person?s Hajj is lost
. Rule: One who loses the Hajj and after doing Sa'ee does not take off the
Ehram and performs Hajj the next year with the same Ehram then his Hajj will
not be correct . HAJJ-E-BADAL (HAJJ BY PROXY) There are few conditions for
Hajj-e-Badal (1) One performing Hajj-e-Badl, Hajj is Fardh on him (Meaning
if it was not Fardh and one performed Hajj-e-Badl or the Fardh Hajj was not
performed meaning Hajj become Fardh later then this Hajj will not suffice if
one is capable then perform the Hajj or if capable himself one should do so.
(2) On whose behalf the Hajj-e-Badal is performed for, if one has the
capability to do so (meaning one can not perform Hajj on their own). If one
is capable of performing it by himself and now in his state of helplessness
but later becomes well meaning at this time he was not capable of performing
Hajj then become well then make the person perform Hajj twice. CHECK Pg 54
(3) From the time of Hajj till death, one is capable of Hajj (If in between
one becomes capable, one should perform Hajj themselves then the first Hajj
performed will be void that will not suffice, however, if there was such a
reason that the person had no intention to go and all of a sudden went and
the Hajj performed in the beginning will suffice for instance one was blind
and after Hajj gained the sight back then there is no need to perform Hajj
again. (4) On whose behalf Hajj is undertaken should expressed their desire.
Without permission, Hajj-e-Badal is not acceptable. However if the lawful
inheritor (waris) performs the Hajj on behalf of the MORUS, then no
permission is necessary. (5) The money (for all due expenses) shall be
provided by the man on whose behalf Hajj is to be undertaken. (6) Only that
man can perform Hajj-e-Badal who has been asked to do so. Hajj-e-Badal by
any other man is not acceptable. (However, if a person who has passed away
nominated a particular person before death to do Hajj on his behalf then if
the nominated person passes away or refuses to go on his behalf then a
replacement is allowed to do Hajj on the deceased person?s behalf). (7) The
person doing Hajj on behalf of someone should use means of transport to
travel around and all cost should be paid by the person whose Hajj is prayed
for, there is an exception that if there is a shortage of money then the
Hajj may be proceeded on foot. Transport is meant by the term of which some
travels have to be on transport. (8) The person going on Hajj-e-Badal should
proceed from the place where he lives. (9) Ehraam should be worn from the
Meeqat if urged by the person whose Hajj is being done for. (10) The Hajj
should be undertaken and performed with the intention of the sender. It is
better with the words Labbaik he should letter the name of the man. (If he
forgets the name he should declare in his that he is doing the Hajj on
behalf of the man who has sent him. Apart from the rules stated earlier
there are some more which will be explained in forecoming text and the ones
which have been stated are solely for obligatory Hajj which is on behalf of
someone if the Hajj is nafl then these rules are not of importance. Rule:
Two men nominated the same man for Hajj on their behalf and he took the
names of both the senders while reciting Labbaik. In this case, the Hajj
from neither of the two will be valid . THE WILL FOR HAJJ Rule: On whom Hajj
is Fardh, Qaza or the Hajj that someone has willed and that is in his
responsibility and the time of death draws close then it is Wajib that one
makes the will . On whom Hajj is Fardh and it is not performed and was not
willed for then in both situations one will be a sinner, if his successor
wills to perform the Hajj-e-Badal on behalf of the deceased there is no
problem. If Allah wills it will be accepted, if the deceased had made a will
then the Hajj should be performed with one third of the wealth left by the
deceased, if the deceased had not imposed the condition of one third of the
wealth for instance he said in his will that perform the Hajj on his behalf.
Rule: If one third of the wealth is enough that the Hajj can be undertaken
by a person from his home town, then a person from his home town be sent,
otherwise send him from somewhere within the Meeqat from where it is
afforable with the one third wealth left. CHECK pg 55 In the same way if
someone can be sent from the fixed amount set in the will then send from
where possible, if one third or the fixed amount is not enough to send
someone from within the Meeqat then the will be invalid . Rule: Some one who
went for Hajj and in the journey or at Makkah before Wuqoof-e-Arafah dies,
if the Hajj had become Fardh in the same year then for one to leave a will
is not Wajib and if one dies after the Wuqoof the Hajj is fulfilled then if
the Tawaf-e-Fardh remains and one makes a will for completing the Hajj then
some one should perform the sacrifice of Badanah on his behalf . Rule: For
Hajj-e-Badl it is better to send one who has already performed Hajj, if some
one who has not performed Hajj is sent it will be valid and if on whom Hajj
is Fardh is sent and has not performed his Hajj then it is Makrooh-e-Tehrimi
. SOME DETAILS OF HADEE Hadee is the animal that is taken to Haram for
sacrifice. They are of three types (1) Shaat, meaning goat, sheep and lamb
(2) Batr, meaning Cow or Buffalo (3) Camel. The lowest grade of Hadee is a
goat, if some one makes a will to send an animal to be sacrificed in Haram
without specifing an animal the sacrifice of a goat will suffice . Rule: The
Qurbani animal weather a male or female the same rule applies, in the same
way one can use a male or a female animal. Rule: The conditions laid for the
Hadee animals are the same for the Qurbani. This means that the minimum age
of a camel is five years, cow and buffalo atleast two years old. A goat is
atleast one year old, however, if the sheep or lamb is six months old but
appears to be one year then it can be used and in the Hadee sacrifice of a
cow, buffalo, camel seven persons can share the sacrifice . Rule: If the
Hadee animal belongs to a Qaran or Matammati then it is better if some meat
is eaten by oneself, likewise if the Hadee is Nafl and has reached the Haram
and if the animal has not reached the Haram then the owner can not eat the
meat, the poor has the right over it and these three can not be eaten
seperatelty and the meat of the Hadee animal that is permitted to eat, can
also be given to rich too and the animal that is not permitted to eat, then
one can not receive any benefit form its skin . Rule: The sacrifice of Qarin
and Matammati can not be performed before the 10th DhilHajj and if done
after 10th Dhil-Hajj it will be valid, however, Dam will be due, reason
being that to delay is not permissible and besides for these two no
perticular day is fixed it is better on to do it on the 10th. It is
essential that the animal be in the Haram, it does not have to be in Mina,
however, if it is performed on the 10th then it is Sunnah in Mina and after
the 10th it is Sunnah in Makkah. The slaughter of the Badanah animal that
has been willed is not a condition to sacrifice in the Haram if the will was
not a condition in the Haram . Rule: It is better the meat of the animal is
distributed among the poor and needy of the Haram. ????? be given away in
charity and nothing should be given to the butcher ,however, if given by the
way of good will then there is no problem . Rule: It is not permissible to
ride or load on Hadee animal without the need and if one uses the animal for
this and if the animal had any deficiency any way, one should give Sadaqah
to the poor . Rule: Do not milk a Hadee animal and if under some
curcumstance she is milked then the milk be given to the poor and if the
milk is not given then the price should be given to the needy . Rule: If the
Hadee animal gives birth then either give as charity or slaughter along with
the animal, however, if one sells the young one or kills it then give its
price away as charity and it is better if one purchashes another animal of
sacrifice with that money . Rule: If some one slaughted an animal of other
person by mistake while the other one slaughted the animal of that person
then the sacrifice of both will count . Rule: If an animal was taken to
Haram for sacrifice on the way it began to die then slaughter it straight
away and stain the rope of the animal with blood together with the hump so
the rich person will not eat its meat only the poor should eat it, if the
animal was nafil then it is not obligatory to purchase another animal in its
place and if it was a Wajib Qurbani then it is Wajib to purchase another
animal and if the animal is now suffering form a defect which does not
permit the sacrifice then one may do what one likes with it and purchase
another animal if it is Wajib . Rule: If the animal has reached the Haram
and is about to die then slaughter the animal and give to the poor do not
eat it yourself even if it is Nafil and if the animal is suffering from
minor defects but still fit for sacrifice then sacrifice and one can eat the
meat . VISITING MADINAHH SHARIF DIGNITY OF MADINAH SHARIF The Messenger of
Allah Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said that one who can die in Madinah
then one should die in Madinah as the one who dies in Madinah I shall
intercede for him and he has said the one who gives difficulty to the people
of Madinah Almighty Allah will put him in difficulty, and on them is curse
of Allah Almighty, the Angels and all the people, and his Fardh or Nafl will
be accepted and he said that one who deceives the people of Madinah, he will
dissolved as salt is dissolved in water . And he said that the angels keep
vigilance on the pathways to Madina, the Dajjal will not enter nor the Pg 58
plague and The Holy Prophet Allah's grace and peace be upon him prayed for
Madinah that Allah increases two fold more than Makkah Pg 58 . The benefits
and blessing and the loss of not visiting the Holy court of the Prophet
Allah's Peace and Grace be upon him Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran:
TRANSLATION:- When people wrong themselves and (O Prophet) they come to you
to seek forgiveness from Allah and you also pray for their forgiveness, they
will Allah as the Acceptor of repentance and the Most Merciful.) The Holy
Prophet (Allah's peace and grace be upon him) has said,"One who visits my
Grave then my intercesion becomes Wajib on me" . He has said, One who
performs Hajj and visits my grave after my death, it is as if he visited me
in my life-time . He has said that One who performs Hajj and does not visit
me, he oppressed me . NOTE: Many people being friends give different types
of advice and make one afraid that there will be difficulties in the journey
that there is dieases and this and that. Beware do not listen to them never
go with the intention of fault. You will certainly die one day and what a
better way to die than the path to Madinah and your experience CHECK Pg 58
ETIQUETTES OF ZIARAT (1) When visiting only make the intetnion, to the
extent Imam Ibn Humam that do not even make the intention of entering the
Mosque (2) If the Hajj is obligatory then perform Hajj and thereafter go
Madinah, however, Madinah is on the way then without visiting it would be an
act of misfortune and one should make this visit a source of acceptance of
the Hajj and also making the Prophet as a mediator and if the Hajj Nafl than
visit the court of the Prophet first then make him a mediator for ones Hajj
being accepted. CHECK Pg 59 (3) On the way engage oneself in reciting Durood
and Salaam and Dhikr, the closer one gets to Madinah be happy. (4) As the
Haram drwas nearer it is better to become sincer and cry whilst lowering
your head lowering the gaze and reciting Durood in abandunce and if possible
walk bear footed. When ones sight falls on the blessed grave increase in
reciting Durood and Salaam. (5) When one enters the blessed city think of
the Prophet Peace and Blessing Upon Him?s character and piety and when
entering the blessed city enter with the right foot and recite these verses:
TRANSLATION:- I begin in the name of Allah, whatever Almighty desired, there
is no Power ety) with the entrance of Truth and make me exit with the Exit
of Truth. O Allah! open for me upon him and peace) what You granted Your
Friends and deliver me from the Fire (of He'll), Forgive me and have Mercy
on me O the One to Whom begins for Well being are addressed. (6) Before
entering the Holy Masjid quickly overcome all necessities which are likely
to distract the attention and devotion, do not think of anything else
besides the Prophet and perform ablution and miswak and is better to have a
bath and wear clean white clothing, also wear good quality surma and purfume,
it is better to put musk on. (7) Now prompt oneself to the blessed court
with utmost sincerity and devotion , if one can not cry then express the
face as if one is crying and the heart in a vunrable state and express your
intentions to the Prophet. (8) Visit all the parts of the Masjid then send
Durood and Salam and wait for some time then ask permission to visit the
court and recite Bismallah and enter with sincerity and devotion with the
right foot. (9) At this moment every Muslim knows how important it is to be
respectful at all time.free your mind, heart, eyes, ears, tongue, hand and
feet from all thoughts, do not look at the structure and beauty of the
Mosque and if someone comes whom greeting is important to perform then where
possible do not divert your attention from the Prophet and keep your heart
towards the Prophet. (10) Never say a word that is not important. LIFE OF
THE PROPHETS It must be borne in mind with the deepest faith and Belief that
our beloved Prophet Peace and Blessing Upon Him is still alive as true,
real, wordly and physical qualities which he possessed when he lived in his
worldy life, the death of all apostles was nothing but momentary
disappearance from the sight of the world and there death is only to
disappear from the eyes of the people. Imam Muhammad Ibne Haaj Makki states
in his book ?Madkhal? and Imam Ahmad Qastalani in his ?Mawa'hib Ladunniyah?
and other scholars in their books state: TRANSLATION:- There is no
difference in the death and life of the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Aliahe
wa Sallam, in respect of his observation of his Ummah, he is aware with
their condition and their intentions, their determinations and their hearts
contents and all these are so manifest before that no covering can hide
them. Imam Rehmatullah Alai?s student Imam Mohaqqiq Ibn Alhimam Munsik in ?Mutawassit?
and Ali Qari Makki in his Sharah (explanation) MALAK MUTAQAT states:
TRANSLATION:- Surely the Holy Prophet Allah's grace and peace be upon him is
fully aware of your presence, your standing and your Salam in fact all your
activities and conditions and moving from one place to another and staying .
(13) If the congregation has begun then join this will be in itself
inclusive of the Nafil Salat of Tahiyat-ul-Masjid and if time permits offer
two rakats of Tahiyyatul Masjid Nafil prayers and thanks giving for blessing
of being present in the Holy court of the Messenger. The place for offering
Thanksgiving (Shukrana) prayers be as close the Mehrab of the Holy Masjid as
possible, if this is not possible than as close as possible then prostrate
for thanksgiving and make supplication O Allah give me the respect of your
beloved and accept it for me. (14) Now proceed with respect with the head
lowered, eyes lowered in reverence and utmost humility remembering one?s
sins reliying on his mercy proceed towards the from the eastern side in the
precence of the Prophet?s grave and the Qibla behind, the Prophet?s
attetnion will be towards you and this is enough for you in both worlds.
(15) If you are fortunate to have the Divine Blessing, in those auspicious
moments you may place stand atleast at a distance of four arms with the back
to the Qibla and face the blessed grave and place your hands in the same
manner as one would do in Salaah . (16) Beware do not touch or kiss the
blessed golden gage as it is against the respect, in fact do not go closer
than four arm length, is his mercey not enough that the Prophet has called
you and granted you a place although his attention was towards you but now
it is even closer. (17) Now like your heart the sight is also facing towards
the blessed gage where the resting place of the beloved of Allah is, now
with sincerity and modesty reciting ( ) not in a low voice (as it is against
the Sunnah ) CHECK Pg 62 TRANSLATION:- O Holy Prophet Peace be on you and
the Mercy and Blessing of Allah, O the Best of Creation of, Peace be on You
O The intercesor of the sinners, Peace be on You and on Your Kin and Your
companions and all the Ummah. (18) As long as tongue, heart, mind can endure
continue reciting Durood-o-Salam, praying forgiveness and prosperity for
yourself your parents, for your family and friends and all the Ummah and ask
for forgiveness and continue reciting: As Aluka Shafa ?Ata Ya Rasoolullah.
(19) Then convey the Salam on behalf of the persons who have requested you,
one should do this deed as it is a legality in Islam. The Author (Moulana
Shamsudeen Amjadi) has requested readers to convey his Salaams it will be a
great favour for him. (20) Then moving an arms length on your right or the
west facing Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddique (may Allah be pleased with him)
enlighted face and give salutations in these words: TRANSLATION:- Peace be
on You O the vice regent of the Apostle of Allah; Peace be on You O the
Minister of the Apostle of Allah; Peace be on You O the companion of the
Apostle of Allah in the Cave and the Mercy and the Blessings of Allah). (21)
Then moving in the same manner to the right facing towards the Caliph
Hadhrat Umar (may Allah be please with him) give your salutations in this
manner: TRANSLATION:- Peace be on You, O the Commander of the faithful;
Peace be on you O, is The Accomplishes of the Number of *Forty. Peace be on
you the Honor of Islam and all the Muslims and the Mercy and Blessing of
Allah.) (22) Then return back between the Holy Graves of Hadhrat Abu Bak'r
and Hadhrat Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) and give salutation as
follows: TRANSLATION:- Peace be on you both the vice regents of the Apostle
of Allah, Peace be on you both O the Ministers of the Apostle of Allah;
Peace be on you both O who are having (eternal) rest at the sides of the
Apostle of Allah and the Mercy and Blessing of Allah. I beseech you to ****
for us before the Apostle of Allah, Allah's peace and grace on him and you
and the Blessing and Peace). (23) All these places are of acceptance meaning
one should try and make Dua, pray the Due-e-Jam?I and to pray Durood with
sole emphasis or recite the following: TRANSLATION:- O Allah! I make you
witness and Your Apostle and Abu Bakr and Umar and Your Angels who descend
on this Shrine and who stay here. I make them all witness and give evidence
that there is no god but You, You are Alone and there no companion to You
and Muhammad Peace and Blessing Upon Him Your Abd and Your Apostle. O Allah!
I confess sins and acts of evil, Forgive me and have Favour on me as You did
to Your Friends. Indeed You are does of Beneficence and the merciful
Forgiven of sins. O our Lord! Grant us well being in the world and
(comforts) in the Hereafter and save us from the Fire (of the He'll). (24)
Then prayer near the Holy Pulpit (Mimbar). (25) Then pray offer two rakat's
of Nafil if it is not the Makrooh time in Jannat Ki Kiyari. (26) Similar
offer two Nafl at every pillar of the Holy Mosque, make Dua as these places
are of blessing and on paticular pillars there are signifigant importance.
(27) As long as one stays in Madinah do not waste any time, apart from
neccesities most of the time should be spent in the Mosque with respect,
spent time in Salaah, reciting the Qur?an and Durood. Any worldy talk should
not be done in any Mosque especially the Mosque of the Prophet. (28) While
entering the Mosque make the intention of Eitekaf, in fact make the intetion
in every Mosque. (29) It is fortunate for a person who gets the opportunity
of staying in Madinah in the Holy month of Ramdhan, especially during hot
weather the intercession is a promise. (30) Here every good deed is rewarded
fifty thousand times, therefore one should occupy themselves in worship. Try
to concerntrate on eating less where possible give alms, importantly the
people from here should give alms in times of need. (31) At least try to
complete a full recital of the Holy Quran during the stay in the
Masjid-e-Nabvi as well as in the Hateem-e-Kaaba. (32) To look at the blessed
grave is also worship as well as looking at Holy Quran and the Holy Kaba,
try to do this as much as possible also reciting Durood and Salaam. (33)
After all the Five Salaah or atleast twice daily in the morning and evening
at the holy court to offer Salaam. (34) In the city or outside wherever the
Dome of the Mazar comes to sight face the Dome and recite Durood-o-Salam and
make sure you never pass by without praying Durood and Salaam as it is very
disrespectful. (35) To miss congregational prayers at any place is a sin and
if it happens few times it is stickly forbidden and a major sin and here
besides major sin ??? Pg 65 may Allah save us. The Holy Prophet (Allah's
peace and grace be upon him) has said, "For every one who does not miss
fourty Salaah, for them is freedom from Hell fire and hypocricy. (36) One
must offer as much Salaah as possible within the beggening area of the
Masjid meaning the space of about 100 by 100 in length and width this has
now been changed. To pray Salaah here is actually praying in the. (37) Never
keep your back to the grave of the Prophet even while offering Salaah until
possible do not stand there. (38) Do not perform circuits around the grave
neither prostrating nor lower one's self equal to Ruku. The respect of the
Prophet Peace and Blessing Upon Him is really in his following. (39)
