I am Soon going for Hajj. How should I prepare myself for Hajj?

Answer

A Muslim is required to be in a state of preparation every day of his life, not only prior to leaving for Hajj. The Qabr calls on us five times daily: "Beware! I am an abode of darkness! I am an abode of solitude! I am an abode of worms/torment! I am an abode of sand!, etc." Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) further said that the most intelligent person is he who makes preparations for the stay in the Qabr. It is therefore, Waajib to remain in constant obedience, ibaadat and Thikrullah at all times. Abstain from sin and futility and reflect on the shortness and futility of this world, and the everlasting nature and reality of the Aakhirah.
