2. Dhikr/The remembrance of Allah - SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, AllahuAkbar

Takbir - AllahuAkbar AllahuAkbar AllahuAkbar La ilaha illa-llah AllahuAkbar AllahuAkbar AllahuAkbar wa la ilaha wa lillahi hamd Encourage others to recite this out loud.

3. Dua’ - The prophet ﷺ said the best dua is the dua’ of Arafah. Implies not only for those making hajj. Make as much supplication as possible.

4. Kurbani - The person who is doing the sacrifice is resembling the person who is in the state of ihram while they’re making hajj.

5. Controlling our speech/being aware of our tong - the is no dispute or argumentation during hajj. We should be making a special effort to control our tong and be careful of what we say and only say what is good, to please Allah swt.
