We are upon that time of year once more when those who have been chosen by Allāh to visit His blessed house and perform Ḥajj are preparing to leave by reading up on how to perform Ḥajj in the correct manner.

Though this is good and necessary, I would like to propose some points with regards to extra actions you can do to magnify your reward by the will of Allāh, as well as to share with you some advice that is not commonly given.

If and when the hardships of Hajj seem unbearable, remember this advice with the principle that states, “Your reward will be directly proportionate to your effort and spending.”

Maximising the intentions was the trade of the hearts of the sahābah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhum), the scholars, and those who know Allāh very well.

They would carry out a single action for which they would have many intentions, so that they could be rewarded abundantly for every intention.

US President Joe Biden has presented an Israeli proposal to end the genocide in Gaza

Your vote is your voice. Abstention is not a neutral act—it indirectly supports the wrong parties.
