Hajj Guide Book in English - The Message

Some Helpful Hints for
Fruitful Utilization of your
spare time while in Makkah
and Madinah
Even during your busy Hajj performance schedule you will
find some time daily beyond your Ibadah requirement. How
to spend that spare time meaningfully You many consider
the undernoted suggestions:
(1) Avoid gossiping with other Hajj participants, or
watching TV programs, or making non-essential
phonecalls. Set your mind to acquire knowledge
available at little or almost no cost, and derive benefit
from such efforts.
(2) Try to perform Nafl Tawaaf as many times as your
health and ability permits. Best time for Nafl Tawaaf
is at midnight when there is less crowd, and there is
no heat from the sun.
(3) Though many of us do extra Umrah for other
members of the family, it is advisable to perform
Umrah only once because Prophet Muhammad
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to do Umrah only
once but performed more Nafl Tawaaf.
(4) When at rest in your hotel room or in any other
accommodation provided to you, please read the
biography of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wa Sallam), his Sahaba (Radi Allahu Anhum),
history the city of Makkah and Madinah, as well as
Tafseerul Quran. Please do not limit your study only
to Quran recitation (Tilawah), try to understand the
meaning of what you are reciting.
(5) Visit the historical sites around Makkah and Madinah,
