How Hajj Is Managed In Britain

For Hajj 2013, special plans have been made as always for the convenience and safety of guests of God. These plans include the number of pilgrims that will be allowed to come for Hajj this year, the packages that will be offered to them, how their safety will be ensured, proper training and guidance of pilgrims, accommodation for pilgrims at Makkah and Madina, transport charges from Jeddah to Makkah and others like health facilities that will be provided to them. All these things require proper planning before the time. 

A number of travel agencies are present in UK from where you can get information about Hajj 2013. In the past there was not any association in Britain that would keep the rights of Muslim minority specially in London where most of the Muslim population is present. As a result no one was there to manage the matters related to Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage and all of us are aware of the problems that pilgrims can face regarding it. So, keeping this in mind the Association of British Hajj was made in 1998. The purpose of this association was to work for the social welfare of Muslims in London and to activate the higher authorities somehow and convince them to consider Muslim rights with reference to Hajj and Umrah. The other underlying purpose was to train and guide Muslims for Hajj and Umrah and to design packages for them. 

From 1998 up till now, many other societies have also been made to ensure the safety and rights of pilgrims in UK and the government has also taken steps for British Muslim rights. Previously the British Government has made an objection on the private companies working for the purpose. However, Hajj 2013 is free from any obligation by British government. Almost 23,000 British Muslims went to Saudi Arabia for performing Hajj and the number is even greater for Hajj 2013.

Although it is the ultimate wish of every Muslim to perform this 5th basic component of Islam and the Saudi government also takes care of their sacred desires, some problems should also be considered while making the decision, as for Hajj 2013 Saudi government has advised pilgrims to postpone their Hajj plans for the next 2 years, as construction is going on in the Haram and Mafat for expansion, that was the demand of increasing number of pilgrims each year. This expansion will benefit the pilgrims in the future. Apart from the advice of Saudi government still almost 2 million foreign pilgrims are expected for Hajj 2013. Therefore, avoiding any mismanagement, keeping the safety of pilgrims and controlling the whole pilgrimage along with the construction, is going to be a comparatively tough job this year.

Make your Hajj Unforgettable

Hajj is one of the lifetime journeys for a Muslim howsoever he be rich or a middle income source person who has saved a huge amount for only the purpose of Hajj. It takes a lot of concentration and understanding of the rituals and the basics of the Hajj in order to manage the journey and all other tasks involved in the performance of Hajj. There are several tasks that need to be undertaken during the performance of Hajj and else to them various events that we undergo during the journey and other activities that a Muslim confronts during the stay in Makkah and Madinah. Taking care of all such matters can make your Hajj journey a memorable time.

Basic knowledge of Hajj

The prime most factors that matters the most during the pilgrimage is to know the very basics of the Hajj and its requirements. Unless one knows how to perform hajj and what its basic and essential rituals are, one cannot perform a mustahib Hajj e Mabroor. Going to perform Hajj and Umrah without knowing about the basics of the two, is alike to make a person stand in the centre of the mosque and ask to pray without letting him know the details of Namaz and other basics of Namaz and Ibaadah that one has to perform in the two Holy Mosques. It needs thorough research and understanding while planning to travel for Hajj and Umrah so that one avails and gain much of the blessings that are destined for the pilgrim while performing Ibaadah in the two holy mosques in the Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.

Traveling

Traveling between the destinations and from Makkah to Madinah requires long travels and during this whole process there are chances that a person can get stuck in some traffic jam or any other such problem
that requires waiting for a long time at any specific place. During this time most of the people get frustrated because of the weather condition and also because of the delay in time. This leads them to argue with the drivers and fellow pilgrims and hence cause mess during the journey. To avoid such acts it is recommended to do zikr azkaar instead of fighting with the fellow pilgrims.

Namaz-e-Janaza

 During the prayers in the Holy mosques nearly after every Salaat, a prayer for Janazah is conducted and a majority of the people does not have any particular ideas of how to offer Namaz e Janazah. In order to not to confront such situations it is advised to learn and understand the basics and the details of Namaz e Janazah so that one can gain the benefit of blessings for each Namaz.
 





Each and every moment of the time you spend there in those cities is much
more precious as compared to any other times in the life. Avail most of the time in these moments so that you can gain most blessings from this time. Most of the time you would see huge gatherings of people for Tawaaf and other rituals, it is recommended to not to get overwhelmed because of the rush hours and perform all the tasks with peace and calmness in order to gain the maximum benefits and ensure your safety and security. These are certain aspects of performance of Hajj in order to gain the maximum benefits from the rituals. Adhering to the safety and security tips can enhance your experience and benefit the organization by your feedback. Perform all the rituals according to their preference and gain maximum benefits and peace during the Hajj 2013.
