Advice for One Proceeding for Hajj

Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once gave the following advice to a person who was proceeding for Hajj:

There is only one advice which I wish to give you, and it is the very same advice which I continued to give throughout the month of Ramadhaan. We are blessed with the month of Ramadhaan every year. However, it is not often that a person is fortunate enough to perform Hajj. Hence, my advice is that you should safeguard your time during the journey of Hajj. Do not engage in futile discussions or conversations with any person. When you present yourself before the Rowdhah of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then convey Durood and Salaam on behalf of this unworthy servant. It will be very good and beneficial for you to read the kitaab ‘Fadhaa’il-e-Hajj’. (Qutbul Aqtaab Hazrat Sheikhul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) pg. 384-385)
