Preparing for the journey of the Life time

The Hajj must be done purely seeking Allah's pleasure, acceptance and approval, seeking nearness to him and not seeking reputation or such worldly gains.

Allah says:
"I am the most self-sufficient of partners, needing no partnership. If one does a deed for Me and for another, I abandon him and his partnership" (Muslim, Ibn Majah)

It is desirable to first write one's will and state what he owes and what is owed to him. One should return any trusts and the like in his possession to their owners, except what they permit or desire him to keep.

One should return any property taken unjustly if he had done so, compensate people for wrongs done to them to the best extent possible, and ask them for their forgiveness. One should use only halal (permissible) wealth for Hajj because Allah is pure and accepts only what is pure.

Needless to say, the pilgrim should ready himself for his journey of the lifetime by being morally upright, avoiding all kinds of wrong doing, repenting for his past misdeeds and vowing never to repeat them. Also he should be attentive to his religious rites, increase voluntary devotional rites, recite more of Quran, increase remembrance and mentioning of Allah and give more in the way of charity. He should adopt morals and ideals like patience, forgiveness, gentleness, kindness, forbearance, modesty, generosity, justice, mercy, trustworthiness, truthfulness, loyalty, piety and try to live them to the best of his ability.

Also one should learn and understand the rulings pertaining to Hajj and Umrah
