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﴾
اور (قیام منیٰ کے) دنوں میں (جو) گنتی کے (دن میں) خدا کو یاد کرو۔ اگر کوئی جلدی کرے (اور) دو ہی دن میں (چل دے) تو اس پر بھی کچھ گناہ نہیں۔ اور جو بعد تک ٹھہرا رہے اس پر بھی کچھ گناہ نہیں۔ یہ باتیں اس شخص کے لئے ہیں جو (خدا سے) ڈرے اور تم لوگ خدا سے ڈرتے رہو اور جان رکھو کہ تم سب اس کے پاس جمع کئے جاؤ گے۔
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.
اردو ترجمہ تیار ہو رہا ہے۔
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
کب In tawaf, between the Yemeni corner and the Black Stone. It is also one of the best du'as at any time.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
معنیOur Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
