Hajj Tips 1
I went for my hajj on the last flight to Mekah in 2004.....basically one week before wukuf. I did Tamatuk, but the rest of my roommates did Ifrad. That is your personal choice.
Pros & cons from Munawwarah's 20 years of research....
a) Going early ie to Madinah first
Pro - you get to get in the mood...concentrate on ibadah earlier on before you go to Mekah & do your hajj.....you get to forget about work and all that....
Con - you overdo the ibadah routines..ada orang yang dah boring....you get tired & sick due to exposure to cold weather & exhaustion and you start missing your kids......when i got to Mekah, a lot of people dah kena flue & cough from Madinah.Nak shopping awal-awal pun serba salah ie - nak shopping buah tangan, haji belum buat lagi.
Leaving Malaysia early does not mean you go to Mekah early...if your trip to Mekah schedules you for later, you still arrive in Mekah about 10 days before wukuf. And if you are very early, you will leave Mekah quite early as well.....so tak sempat do anything much in Mekah.....
b) Going To Mekah first.
Pro - you are fresh & enthusiastic to do your hajj. Usually you are healthy and full of energy. You focus to your hajj & can withhold buying buah tangan till after the hajj...less guilt.
Con - You may not get to have a break to get in focus..ie you work till the last day.
It may be too crowded, but you will have to pandai-pandai to find a good time to do your umrah or your first tawaf. You may not be able to shake off your jet lag - so you better get used to only 3 hours sleep and get short naps n between solat times.
Some takut tak sempat buat umrah before wukuf due to the crowd, but i think you can do it if you yakin & know what to do.
Don't rely 100% on a mutawiff.....ilmu & keyakinan is very important. Bring a long a comprehensive guide book....
Some of my customers who go later, and stay for 40 days tell me of days when the haram and nabawi is empty....
saying all that, i think it does not really matter whether you go early or late - but the best is you have to take precautions to avoid health problems & to find a way through the crowd. Dapat hotel dekat alhamdullillah, tapi kalau hotel jauh, adjust your ibadah accordingly to your health & kebolehan. We usually advise not to overdo the ibadahs before wukuf....especially if your hotel is jauh, avoid peak times at the mosque - if you go to the mosque, make sure it is well off the peak times to go & balik.....and if tak larat, don't go for solat jumaat right before the hajj.....i
Insya Allah if nothing goes wrong, Mummy & me will be on IKIM again this Friday to talk about the Hajj and umrah.....the programme is at 5.15pm.

Tudung pictures....
Pictures of our Lycra Maisara Tudung - the front is from Thai Silk. Fiqa is wearing the version with a spit down the front......I'm wearing the longer version with no split down the front. Price? Around RM95 - RM140 depending on material.....Also refer to pictures with mummy & the family in the earlier blog posts.
Floral Maisara? Hmmmmm i still don't have the pictures for that......
Beware of imitations!!!!

Maryam & Aisha.....and Tarzan the gorilla.....
Tak larat kan????? It's not easy to get MAryam to co-operate macam ni.....the photographer has to be fast....
Cheerio Pok su.....
My girls..
How they have grown......when i compare gambar in 2007 and 2008 i realise how much they have matured into "bigger, taller and cheekier" versions of my little munchkins.....
My favourite companion doa book....
This is my favourite doa books....the first one - CITADEL of THE BELIEVER has been my constant companion since my hajj and throughout all my musafir trips.....business or leisure.
We always forget that our doa is makbul when we are musafir - as long as the reason for the musafir is not maksiat. So may it be a holiday trip with your family to the beach ( aurat & solat mesti jaga!) or what more for umrah..then for sure your doa will be answered if it is the best for you at that time.
Anyway, this book compiles the doas from the quran & hadeeth....for every situation imaginable. when you wake up, go to sleep, get dressed, leaving the house, in the mrning, evening, when attending a wedding, for newborns,invocations for grief, settling a debt..even supplication against the oppression of rulers and against enemies.....
Very handy pocket size.....and clear English translations. They also have the BM version......
