The most common thing people forget when they go for
Hajj is to make the trip as productive as possible. It's not just performing Hajj that counts, it's also your actions and behavior for the duration of the trip. It should be a spiritual experience that leaves you more enlightened than before. The following tips are a must-know, to prepare for your Hajj journey and make it productive.
1. Say Salaam to strangers
Just because you don't know a person doesn't mean a greeting won't make them smile and respond. Whenever you see someone, you should always greet them by saying 'Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakathuh'. That's one thing added to your good deeds list.
2. Read Qur'an with Tafseer
Read a
Surah from the
Quran daily along with the meaning. It will ensure that we become more familiar with the Quran and also get rewards for the effort.
3. Carry someone's bag for them
If you see anyone having a difficult time with their luggage or any elders who find it difficult to handle them, you should always offer a lending hand. Their gratitude towards you will also be a reward towards you.
4. Use a Miswak
5. Purify one's self of bad intentions
Be a better person and purify yourself of all bad thoughts and intentions. Make sure you don't wish for anything you regret later on! Make sure that you will not revert back to old habits.

dua to ask on behalf of them, make sure to fulfill it. And also ask
Allah (SWT) for a better and healthier life for everyone including yourself.
7. Pray to Allah (SWT)
Pray to Allah (SWT) daily by using his 99 beautiful names (Asmaulhusna). A beautiful prayer like that goes a long way.
