Lesson 1

On Al-Hajj with Hamza

Assasalamu Alaikum, viewers.

We’re here at Muzdalifah.

Hamza has just finished praying.

What have you done so

far?Can you tell

us?

Yes. Of course. Yesterday, we started from Al-Miqat. First, we

put on special white clothes (Ihram). Then, we went to the Holy Mosque and circled Al-Kaba seven times (Tawaf).

After that, we hastened seven times between the hills of As-

Safa and Al-Marwah(sa’ie).

Next, we went to Mina and prayed five times.

Then we went to Arafat. We stayed at Arafat all day today

and we came here after sunset. When we arrived at Muzdalifah,

we prayed Maghrib and Isha combined and shortened.

And what

are you going to

do?

Well, we will stay here until we pray the Fajr (dawn) prayer.

Then we will go to Mina after the brightness of the morning is wide spread. On our way to

Mina, we will collect small stones.

What are you going to do

with the small stones?

Everyday, we have to throw seven small

stones at a pillar. There are three

pillars. We’ll spend three days there.

What else happens

there?Well, on the first day

at Mina, we also sacrifice animals, e.g.

one sheep for one person.

And what’s going to

happen after Mina?

Then we will have our heads shaved and we will take off the special white clothes.

After that, we will circle Al-Kaba seven times. Then we will hasten seven times

between the hills of As-Safa and Marwah again. We will come back to Mina for three days. By the end of the third day, we will

circle Al-Kaba seven times. Finally Al-Hajj will be over.
