quranic advice on hajj
Hajj is an obligation on every Muslim capable of performing it as long as the requisite conditions are fulfilled, a view upheld by the majority of scholars. Almighty Allah (God) says, {Pilgrimage thereto is a duty people owe to Allah, those who can afford the journey) (Quran 3:97). Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has encouraged Muslims to take advantage of their health, and financial ability to make Hajj before getting sick or financial conditions may change. Prophet (SAW) had said "Make Hajj, you never know what will happen."
Whoever performs Hajj for the Pleasure of Allah and therein utters no word of evil, nor commits any evil deed, shall return from it (free from sin) as the day on which his mother gave birth to him. Verily there shall be no reward for a Mabroor (Accepted) Hajj except Jannah."
(Bukhari, Muslim)

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO CAMPAIGN
What is the Know Before You Go Campaign?‘Know Before You Go’ (KBYG) is an ongoing campaign with around 400 travel industry partners to help Brits to stay safe and healthy abroad.
The campaign was launched in 2001 to promote these key messages:
- get adequate travel insurance
- check the FCO’s country travel advice
- research your destination – know the local laws and customs
- visit your GP as soon as possible before travelling
- check your passport is in good condition and valid and you have all necessary visas
- make copies of important travel documents and/or store them online using a secure data storage site
- tell someone where you are going and leave emergency contact details with them
- take enough money and have access to emergency funds
Every year thousands of British travellers seriously regret not taking these simple steps.
If you’re planning a trip you should read the travellers checklist – it’s full of practical tips for having a safe and enjoyable time.
See our full list of campaign partners and learn about the benefits of becoming a Know Before You Go campaign partner.
Targeting different types of British travellers
Our research has shown that particular groups of travellers experience unique problems. We use mini-campaigns to reach these groups with our advice:
- independent travellers
- single sex groups - e.g hen and stag parties
- package holiday makers
- gap year travellers
- sports travellers
- people visiting friends and family
- elderly and retired travellers
For example, younger travellers are the least prepared group of UK travellers – that’s why we launched the dedicated GoGapYear.com website and work with specialist travel companies and universities to get our message to them.
Recent KBYG mini-campaigns include:
- World Cup 2010
- gogapyear.com competitions
- British Behaviour Abroad report
- Road safety abroad
- attending festivals eg Africa Oye & London Mela
- Travel Trends report in collaboration with ABTA
KBYG publications include:
- Support for British nationals abroad: a guide
- Going To live abroad
- Victims of crime abroad
- Lonely planet travel safe
- In prison abroad
- World Wise
All KBYG publications can be ordered on the travel advice publications page.
