What to do
- Spend the nights in Mina.
- Stone all three jamarat each day after midday: the small one, then the middle one, then Jamrat al-ʿAqabah, seven pebbles each, saying Allahu akbar with each.
- Stop and make du’a after the first and the second, facing the qiblah, for a long time. Do not stop after the third.
- Leave on the 12th before sunset, or stay and stone on the 13th as well. Both are allowed.
۞ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍۢ مَّعْدُودَٰتٍۢ ۚ فَمَن تَعَجَّلَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ لِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿٢٠٣﴾
Und gedenkt Allahs während einer bestimmten Anzahl von Tagen. Wer sich jedoch in zwei Tagen (mit dem Aufbruch) beeilt, den trifft keine Sünde, und wer länger bleibt, den trifft keine Sünde; (das gilt) für den, der gottesfürchtig ist. Fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß ihr zu Ihm versammelt werdet!
Why we do it
ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ حَتَّى يُسْهِلَ فَيَقُومَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَقُومُ طَوِيلاً، وَيَدْعُو وَيَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ ... ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَقُولُ: هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ
After stoning the first jamrah, Ibn ʿUmar would move forward to level ground, stand facing the qiblah for a long time and make du'a with his hands raised. He did the same after the middle jamrah, then stoned Jamrat al-ʿAqabah without stopping there, and said: This is how I saw the Prophet ﷺ do it.
Die deutsche Übersetzung wird vorbereitet.
Many pilgrims throw their pebbles and rush away. The Sunnah is to stop, step aside from the crowd, and stand in du’a for a long time. These are some of the least crowded moments of du’a in all of hajj. Do not miss them.
Your heart today
The great days are behind you, and tiredness sets in. This is where many people let go. Hold on. These are days of remembering Allah, as the verse says. Keep your tongue busy with dhikr, guard your temper in the crowds, and keep asking.
Du’as for today
Good in this world and the next
