Rafiq-ul-Haramayn - Islamic School System - Dawat-e-Islami

bodies were being laid in a row. But the space has now been greatly
extended. Four more storeys have been built besides the ground
floor so that all the people would not have to gather at one place only,
definitely reducing the crowd. Here are some precautions:
1. There is a large crowd on the 10 th of Żul-Ḥijjaĥ in the morning.
The crowd reduces around 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Now
accompanying Islamic sisters can also perform Ramī without
much difficulty. If you perform Ramī from any upper floor you
will find a relatively small crowd and will also be enjoying fresh
air.
2. Do not carry a stick, an umbrella and any other luggage with
you. The authorities will seize these things and it will be difficult
for you to get them back. Sometimes, they allow a small school
bag hanging behind the back but it is still better not to take even
this type of bag on 10 th Żul-Ḥijjaĥ. If you are prevented, you will
get into trouble. On the 11 th and 12 th of Żul-Ḥijjaĥ, authorities
show a little leniency for those carrying small things.
3. The appropriate time for the wheelchair users is to perform
Ramī after Ṣalāt-ul-‘Aṣr all three days.
4. Never bend down if anything falls from your hand or your
slipper slips from your foot when throwing stones in the crowd.
5. In case of performing Ramī in the form of a group, fix a meeting
point up in advance to avoid getting lost. If anyone gets lost it
can cause untold problems. I have seen some old male and
female Ḥujjāj who had got lost and did not even know the name
of their Mu’allim. Such people are seen facing a lot of troubles.
