Packing for the journey
A little preparation makes the pilgrimage smoother, leaving you free to focus on worship. Pack light, bring only what you need, and remember that in the state of ihram you avoid perfumed soap, shampoo, and lotion - so choose unscented toiletries.
A few tips
Label your bags, keep documents and money in a pouch on your person, wear comfortable sandals you can slip on and off for wudu and prayer, and carry a small bag for your shoes when entering the Haram. A refillable bottle helps you stay hydrated in the heat.
Trust and intention
Once packed, renew your intention and place your trust in Allah. The best provision is taqwa, as Allah says: 'And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is taqwa' (Surah al-Baqarah 2:197).
