“The Hajj (Pilgrimage) is in the well-known (lunar year) months.  So, whosoever intends to perform hajj therein (by assuming Ihram) then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj.”  (The Qur’an2:197)  

 

   1- Consciousness of Allah

The best way to please Allah is to watch for Him constantly and be conscious and fearful of Him in all your actions and speech.

2- Correct ‘Aqidah

Every Muslim should understand that if his/her belief, or ‘Aqidah, is not sound, the Hajj or any other ‘Ibadah (worship) is not accepted.  So always try to correct your belief by asking scholars who will provide you with proofs from the Qur’an and Sunnah.

3- Pure Intention

Almighty Allah does not accept what is not directed to Him alone.  Therefore, you should always be sincere and have pure intention for Hajj.  

4- Correctness of Rituals

No ritual is accepted unless it is made correctly, exactly as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) performed it.  “Whoever adds something new to our religion, it is rejected.”
