as salaam alaikum,

Hajj: its a muslim's spiritual journey (pilgrimage) to Makkah. its in the 10th day of 12th month (zul hijjah) of Islamic calender.

prophet (peace be upon him) told that: "There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allah, or greater in reward, than a good deed done during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah."

so please try to utilise in salah/namaaz, Quran, duas and learning Islam.

also Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "'Fasting on the day of 'Arafah is an expiation of last year's and next year's sins.' (ie minor sins)

the pilgrims have to stay in places called Arafah and Muzdalifa on 9th (a day before Hajj). it is called Arafat Day. so those you are not going on Hajj...dont forget to fast on Arafah Day inshallah... this year on 5 Nov.

may Allah guide and forgive us all.
