How to prepare for your Trip to perform Hajj / Umrah
1- Start preparing yourself after the month of Ramadan.
A) Read the story of the life of the Prophet Mohammed, Ibrahim and his son Ismael peace be upon them all. Try to put yourself through that experience.
B) Get up at least once a week during the last hour of the night to pray asking God to facilitate your intention to perform the Hajj/Umrah.
C) Memorize the procedures necessary to perform Hajj/Umrah and try to watch a video that demonstrates those events.
D) Exercise; walk, run, bike, swim etc. Coming out of the month of Ramadan and into Hajj, you need to quickly get your body in shape. No matter how young you are your perseverance will be tested.
E) Memorize few Dua’a. In other words, capitalize on the spiritual transformation you went through in Ramadan and sustain your momentum by preparing yourself physically and spiritually for Hajj.
