The followingfollowlng adviceadvlce Isis being offered to you in the hope that Allah willwlll accept from all of us our fiarlandhajj and our striving.strlvlng.

1. Remember that you are on a blessedblsssed journey.ThisThls journey,Journey,whichwhlch Isis a migrationmigratlontoward Allah, is based on belief In in HisHls Unity(tawheedJ, on sincerity toward Him, on respondingrespondlngto His call, and on obedience to His commands. There Isls no greater reward than that of a hajjhaii whichwhlch Isls acceptable acceplable to to AllahNlah Ta'alah-the reward of the GardenGarclenof Paradise.Paraclise.

2. 8e Beon your guard against thethe mischiefmlschiefof Satan, who intendsintendstoto causedissention among you. Love each other r asas brothersbrothers andand avoldavoid disputesdisputes andand disobediencedisobedience toto Allah.Allah. KnowKnow thatthat thothe MessengerMessenger olof AllahAllah (may(may peacepeace andand blesslngsblessingsof of AltahAllah bebe onon him)him) sald,said, ".. Noneol of youyou hashas trulytruly bellevedbelievedunless he llkeslikesfor for hlshis brotherwhat thethe likeslikes forfor hlmself."himself."

3. WheneveryouYQu havea questionconcerning religious matt€rsmatters or concsrningconcerning thenall, the hajj, ask knowledgeableMus'Mus· limsIims until.you receivea satisfactoryanswor.answer. This is in accordancewith what Allah has said: "lf"If ye realisethis not, ask of those who possess The Message." it is also in accordance with what the Prophet (peace be on him) has said: "When Allah intends good for someone,someone' He gives him understanding of the religion."

4. Know thatthat Allah has made certain acts fard /ard(obliga·(obliga' tory) and other acts sunnah (according toto thethepractice of tory)and otheracts .--- sry(according thethe Prophet, peace be on him). Allah does do€snot accept a sunnahsu!!S! which violatesviolatessome somelard. lard' SomeSomepilgrims pilgrimsignore lgnore thisthis factfact whenwhenthey thayharm harmbelieving believingmenmen and and womenwomenin in theirtheirzeal zealto to kisskissthe the BlackB/acftStone,Sfone, toto hastenhasteninin theirtheircir· cir' cuitscuitsaround aroundthethe K'abah,K'abah,toto makemakesalah sa/ahbehindbahind thethe Sta· Sta' tiontion of lbraheem,Ibraheem, toto drink fromfrom Zamzam,.andZamzam,. and slmllarsimilar practices.

Therefore,avoid hurting each other, and Allah will grant you His mercy and will increaseyour reward.

We would also like to emphasize the following:

(a) Itlt is not fitting that a Muslim man performs his Sa/atSatgt next to,lo, or behind a woman in the Sacred Mosque or at any other place if il it is at all possible to avoid doing so. Women should pray behind men.

(b)(b)TheThe doors and entrances to the Sacred Mosque are for traffic and should not be blocked by people praying there, even though if if itit isis to join the congregational prayer thatthat may be inin progress.

(c)(c)Itlt isis not permissible toto block the free free flowf low of people around thethe K'abahby sittingnear thethe K'abah, by praying or near it,it, or by standing near thethe @!$,,Black Stone, or al.Hi}ral'Hijror at thothe StatlonStation of lbraheem,Ibraheem, especlallyespecially whenwhen the the placeplace la Is crowded,as thlsthis lsIs a sourceof harmto to othorother people.

The First Flrst

Associating partners with Allah (shirk). Allah, the Most High, says, "Truly, ifif anyone associates partners with Allah, Allah willwillforbid forbid him the Gardenand his abode willwillbs be the Fire; the wrongdoers will have no helpers."help€rs." r

ThlsThis appllesapplies toto thosethose whowhoprufer proler thethe rulerule ofof EvllEvil ((Taghout) Iagnout) toto thethe Prophet'srule. rule. Some examplesof thlsthis ar6:are:

(a)(a) To bellevebelieve thatthat systems and lawslaws made by human belngsbeings are betterthan than thethe ~Eharl'ahof lslam;Islam; for for examPle,example,

that the lslamlcIslamic system lsIs not sultablesuitable for the twen'twen­ tlethtieth century.

(b) To sayeay that enforcingenforclngthe punishmentspunlshmentsprescribedprescrlbed by Allah, such as cuttingcuttlngoff thethe hand of a thiefthlef or sto­sto' ning an adulterer, is is not suitable inin thisthis day and age.

AccordlngAccording to the congengusconsensus of Musllms,Muslims, one who declaressuch thlngsthings to be permlsslblepermissible lsIs an unbelleverunbeliever (kef/f).(*attL.

TheThaFilth Fllth

Anyone who hates any part of what the Messenger of Allah (may peacep€ace and blessings of Allah be on him) has declared to be lawfullawful has nullified his Islam,lslam, even though he may act inin accordance with it. Allah the Most High,Hi9t1 says: "Because"Bscause theythey disliked what Allah has revealed, theirthsir deeds are brought to nothing."

The Sixth Slxih

Anyone who ridicules rldlculesany aspect espoctof thethereligion rellglonof the MessengerMeseengerofol Allah (peace(peacebe on him),hlm), or any of Itslts rewardsrewardaoror punishments,punlshments,becomesbecomss an unbelleve.r.unbellever.Allah, r

TheThe Seventh

Thepracticeofmagicinc|udedinthisiscausingariftThe practice of magic included in this is causing a rift betweena husbandand wife by tumingturning his love loveforfor herinto into hatrsd,hatred, or tempUngtempting Ia p€rsonperson toto do thingsthings he dislikesby usingblad< black arts. One who engagesin such a thingor is pleased with it is outsidethe palepateof lslam.Islam. Allah the lviostMost High, says, seys, "The"Th€ two (angels, Harut and Marut) did not 'lndeed' teach anyone (magic) without warningwaming them,thom, 'Indeed, we are a trial; thenlhen do not disbelievedisbolieve."'...·

TheTheEighth Eighth

Anyone who believes that some people are permitted toto deviate fromlrom the Shari'ahShari'ahof Muhammad (peace be on him) isis an unbeliever by the word of Allah, the Most High: "If"lf anyone seeks a religion other than al·lslamal-lslamit will not be accepted from him, and inin the Hereafter he will be among thethe losers."losers."

Th.eThp Tenth

To tum completely away from the religion of Allah, neither learning itsits precepts nor acting upon it. Allah the Most High, says: "Who does greater wrong than the oneons who isis remindedof the revelations ofol his Lord and turns away from them. Truly, We shall recompense the gUilty,"guilty"' and He also says: "But those who disbelieve tumturn away fromfrom that about which they are warned." ItIt makes no difference whether such violations are committed as a joke, inin seriousness or out of fear, except when they are done under compulsion.

We seek refugeref uge in ln Allah from such deeds as entailentallHisHls wrath and severeseverspunishment.punlshment. 'Umrah, HowHow toto performperform HallHajj andand 'Umrah, andand toto vlsltvisit thethe Prophet'sProphet's Mosque Mosque
