It's a deeply spiritual journey, a pillar of Islam, and for many Muslims, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cleanse the soul and reconnect with Allah. With Hajj 2026 approaching (expected to begin at the end of May 2026, depending on moon sighting), many are now beginning to prepare both spiritually and practically.

Pro Tips from the Community
🗣️ “Label everything with your name — bags, slippers, even your water bottle.”
🗣️ “Use Vaseline or fragrance-free barrier creams to avoid chafing in the heat.”
🗣️ “Carry a little notepad with key Arabic phrases if you’re not fluent - it helps a lot!”
Intention, Intention, Intention...
More important than anything is your niyyah (intention). Spend time in dhikr, Quran recitation, and learning about the lessons of Hajj - patience, equality, submission, and gratitude.
Hajj reminds us that in front of Allah, we are all equal - no labels, no ego, no wealth. Just sincere hearts.
