Top 10 Instructions for Those Travelling for Hajj

My name is Irfan Ali and I am from Scotland. Alhamdulillah I have a real passion for Umrah and Hajj which led me to go for Hajj in 2013 – this experience changed my life!
While I was there I vlogged my journey to put onto YouTube with the intention of helping those going for Hajj, and since then, I started my YouTube channel ‘Hajj Vlogger’ where I share tips and advice for Hajj andUmrah as well as other lifestyle videos.

Here are my top 10 instructions for those travelling for Hajj this year:


  1. Be organized before you travel – Check passports, vaccines, make extra copies of documents.
  2. Fitness & diet – Hajj is physically and mentally demanding – eat good food, eat less and walk more. Go out for walks before going for Hajj.
  3. Packing – Pack essentials in your hand luggage just in case your main luggage goes missing. See video below for more details
  4. Know your Hajj! Learn and research BASICS before going. Be confident about the days of Hajj.
  5. Expectations – Lower your expectations, expect the worst, things can only get better!
  6. Rest as much as you can! Take it easy before Hajj! You will need your energy for the days of Hajj.
  7. Focus on yourself – Get your heart ready for Hajj, take time out for yourself before hajj and renew your intentions.
  8. Connect with Allah – Make dhikr, read Quran, recite durood/salam upon the Beloved Prophet ﷺ. Sit and look at the Kabah.
  9. Help others – For me, Hajj is all about helping others. Be at the service of others. Help as many people as possible.
  10. Have Sabr! – This is my biggest tip! You will need it! it is one of the most important things that will get you through Hajj.

May Allah bless you all and accept your Hajj. Ameen


Keep me and the Ummah in your duas!

We live in a generation so fast paced that we expect too much from the world in a short period of time; we expect quick results, reactions, and resolutions. The importance of patience is fading away from the aspects of life in which we need it the most. The word patience (sabr) has been mentioned in the Holy Quran around 90 times, therefore it is not something that should be overlooked but rather it is an element that needs to be embedded into our daily lives and in every single thing we do. By learning how to implement patience into our daily lives, we will begin to open doors that we never knew existed. It might be easier if we break patience down into three different types; the first type of patience in Islam is the endurance needed to fulfil the commands of Allah, the second is the ability and intention to abstain from that which has been prohibited and lastly, the one which we tend to focus most on is patience when calamity befalls upon us. However, it is important to k...
