TIPS FOR A HAPPY HAJJ
Are you going to the Hajj? Ma sha'Allah! Whether this is your first time or your tenth, these pointers will help, insha'Allah.

TIPS FOR A HAPPY HAJJ
This article is does not give religious fatawa, just practical advice to make your Hajj easier and more enjoyable. When the mechanics go smoothly, there's more time to concentrate on the spirit.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO?
Go with an organized group. Although some young men go alone, and some families camp out on the pavement, these are not the ideal ways to comfort and peace of mind. Remember that when there was choice of ways of doing things, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) always chose the easiest.
(NOTE: The Saudi government has announced that noone will be allowed to camp out on the pavement during the 2001 Hajj.)

All groups offer a guide, or mutawa, transportation, and accommodations. Other services vary. Ask:
Is the accommodation in Mina? (If not, you have to hang
around Mina until midnight each night before going back
to Makkah.)
How many people will share each room or tent?
How many will share each bathroom?
What type of toilets will there be? (Western, Arabian, or
both?)
What shower facilities there will be?
Which meals are provided? What kind of food will be
served?
Will there be lectures, classes, or workshops?
In which language(s)?
Are the buses air-conditioned?
Will you have a tent in Arafat?
Air conditioning?
Toilets?
How close will you be to the mosque?

Some groups provide hotel accommodations. These range from the new luxury hotels down to the simplest, most old fashioned types. Many groups put ladies in one hotel room, men in another. Some expect some guests to sleep on mats on the floor.

Some groups put you up in tents. A so-called tent may be an actual cloth tent, or it may be a tin shanty with a carpeted, cement, or bare earth floor.

Some groups provide apartments. With others, you sleep in schools.

Note, too, that some groups are for non-smokers only.

Food service also varies. The most expensive groups feed you in first-class restaurants. Others cook for you. Still others expect you to find your own food.

What should I take with me to the Hajj?
First of all, don't take anything valuable. The Hajj is crowded,
and you'll be very busy. It's only too easy to leave things behind,
and nearly impossible to find them later.

Essentials:

Bedding, if the group doesn't provide it. You'll want a thin
mattress, one or two sheets, a light blanket, and a pillow.

Shoes: men must wear shoes without stitching.
The best kind for both men and women is cheap plastic shower
clogs that you find comfortable but wouldn't feel bad about
losing.
Be sure to take an extra pair.

Clothes:
For men, an extra set of ihram towels;
For women, whatever simple, modest hijab they find convenient
For both, a change of clothes for the Eid; extra underwear and
socks.
Even Eid clothes should be inexpensive. It's not a fashion show!

Identification and visa: Your citizenship book, passport, iqama.

Money:
You'll need some for tips, possibly taxi fare, cold drinks, your
sacrifice, plus whatever food you want to buy.
Don't take too much money, though. Divide the money among
the members of your group.

Food: Even if your food is provided by your group, you will still
want some salty and some sweet snacks. Chips and biscuits in
tins keep well and are easy to store.

Food: If you're providing your own, buy as much as you can in
Jeddah, where it's cheaper and there's more variety..
Everything should be sealed in tins or cartons.
Don't take any fresh food (and don't buy any on the Hajj) except
for oranges, which are easy to store and have tough peels to
keep their fruit clean.
Most people take very simple, low-bulk foods, such as cheese,
tuna, corned beef, olives, dates, bread, and jam or preserves.
Due to competition for toilet facilities, the Hajj is a good time to
forget your high-fiber diet.
Please don't buy any fresh or cooked food on the Hajj, except in a
very superior restaurant!

Drinks:Tea (bags are easiest), instant coffee, sugar, instant milk,
and instant fruit drinks, like Tang.
Mix your drinks with bottled or bagged water.

Utensils: Plastic cups, plates, spoons, etc.

Hajj Checklist, part 3
Toiletries
A first-aid kit.
Unscented soap. You can buy it at any market in Saudi Arabia.
Just say you want soap ("savon") for the Hajj.
Disinfectant soap: Any kind that says "triclosan" on the label.
Lifebuoy and Dial Antibacterial are two examples, and there
are many others. But these have perfume, so you can't use
them until the Eid.
Disinfectant liquid, such as Dettol.
Unscented deodorant.
Laundry detergent, such as Ariel or Tide.
Tissues or toilet paper. Buy a large quantity!
A razor, if you plan to shave.
A small pair of scissors. You'll want to trim your hair and nails.
Any medicine you take regularly, including skin medicine.
Cornstarch, to use instead of talcum powder, which is
perfumed.
Sunscreen lotion. Of course, you would use this after you
remove your ihram, because of the perfume.
Shampoo, but remember that it has perfume, too.
Other

A small, inexpensive copy of the Qur'an. If you don't read
Arabic, there are several new editions with English
explanations, including very small ones.
A Hajj guidebook. You can find one in any big bookstore.
Reading glasses, if you need them. Hang them on a string
around your neck. Reading glasses have got to be one of
the most frequently lost items in the Hajj!
Lots of big plastic shopping bags for garbage, plus some small
plastic zipper bags.
A parasol, or umbrella, for the sun.
A phone card. You can buy them at the airport, any PTT
(telephone company) office, and some banks. This will make
calling home, or checking on your travel reservations, much
easier.
A small notebook and a pen. You'll want to exchange
addresses with your fellow Hajjis, and maybe to keep a diary,
too.
A needle and thread, just in case.
In cooler weather, as this year, you might need a sweater at
night.
DON'T TAKE:
Gold, jewels, or any other valuables.
Cameras.
Political literature of any kind.
Fresh fruit (except bananas and oranges.)
Fresh vegetables
Fresh meat.
Babies and small children (if you can help it.)
Gas cylinders or other cooking equipment.

MAKE IT EASY
Before you get off the bus, decide where you will meet if you get
separated.
In Makkah, choose an easy-to-find place in the Haram:
a particular door, under a clock, by Safa or Marwa.
In Arafat, identify a door of the mosque, a first-aid station,
or something similar. Then if you do get lost, don't hunt
around for the others. Go to your meeting point and stay
there!
Use the buddy system: pair off. Each person in the group
should have a partner. If this is your first Hajj, you should
have an older person who's seen it all before. You can lend
your strength and benefit from the other's experience. Stick
together, no matter what.
If you have children with you, assign each child one big person
for the entire Hajj.
Children should have identification pinned to their clothing.
It's best to put small children on a leash or lead.
People with medical problems (including drug allergies) should
wear some kind of tag identifying the problem.
Make sure are not carrying a camera, radio, cassette, or CD
player when you go to mosques in Makkah and Madinah.
You won't get in!

ATTITUDE CHECK
The Hajj is different from any other event on earth. Millions of
people from dozens of countries and speaking dozens of
languages converge on one tiny valley and become
intimate neighbors. There are bound to be delays,
misunderstandings, and unsuccessful arrangements. People
are sure to forget things, get tired and confused, and make
mistakes.
Remember that:
• The Hajj is a once-in-lifetime obligation to Allah, Who gave you
the health and money to perform it.
• All of the Hajjis are your brothers and sisters.
• Any cross word, any selfish act may ruin your Hajj, Allah forbid.
• Allah will reward you thousands of times over for any act of
kindness, no matter how small.

FINALLY
Please, please pray for all your Muslim brothers and sisters,
especially me!
