Prepare
A path for the weeks before you travel. Take one step each week. Each step is short, and each one asks you to do something, not only to read.
- Week 1 Why are you going? Before the tickets, the vaccinations and the packing, there is one question to answer honestly.
- Week 2 Making things right Repentance, the rights of other people, debts and your will. Go to Allah with your affairs in order.
- Week 3 Learning to make long du'a At Arafat you will have hours. Most of us run out of words in two minutes. This can be trained.
- Week 4 The story behind every step Nearly every rite of hajj goes back to one family. Know their story and the rites stop being motions.
- Week 5 Patience, crowds and heat Hajj tests your patience more than your knowledge. Prepare your body and your temper as carefully as your bag.
- Arafat Your Arafat plan Why the whole of hajj is called Arafat, and a planner to build your own list of du'as for that afternoon.
