Practical Hajj Guide

Dear Muslim, know that deeds will only be accepted if two conditions are met, they are: al-Ikhlaas (sincerity of intention) and al-Ittibaa’ (adherence to the sunnah).

Allaah says:

(which means): “So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord – let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone." (18:110)

And the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: "Actions are but by intentions and every man shall have only that which he intended.” (al-Bukhaari and Muslim)

He also said: “Whoever does an action which is not sanctioned by me, it will be rejected”. (Muslim)

And he said: “I have left with you two matters which if you were to adhere to them you would never go astray after me; the Book of Allaah and my sunnah.” (al-Haakim, al-Bayhaqi)

Be grateful to Allaah that He has made it possible for you to undertake the journey towards the Ancient House which is the most beloved of places on the earth to Allaah. Ponder over this and appreciate it!
