Muslim pilgrims gather to pray at Jabal Al Rahma holy mountain, or the mountain of forgiveness, during the annual pilgrimage, known as the hajj, near Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Friday, Oct. 3, 2014. An estimated 2 million Muslims are streaming into a sprawling tent city near Mecca for the annual hajj pilgrimage. Saudi Arabia banned hajj and work visas this year for people from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea as a precaution to avoid the spread of Ebola during hajj, which sees massive crowds of people from around the world gather in Mecca.

When the object of Umrah and Hajj becomes just to attain the maximum possible rewards, then for this there are some of the other significant factors that must be considered by a pilgrim and he or she should be careful about those. To abstain and refrain from all unlawful and doubtful things that can void your effort of performing pilgrimage. Pilgrim should enter the sacred sites of Makkah with utmost respect, and to show the great esteem to the sacred religious symbols.
It should keep in mind that all the good deeds and acts of worship have to be performed for lawful gains; because, the spiritual benefits that a person gains by performing the acts of worship can be achieved by a body that is properly grown by lawful and Halal provisions.Lawful gain and earning is the most important condition of pilgrimage.
In order to perform pilgrimage it is necessary for pilgrim to abstain from all the prohibited acts and In this respect we should keep this in our mind that a person not should just stay away from worldly desires like lewdness, abuse and anger, envy and lewd conversations during pilgrimage, another most important thing that should be taken in to account that we must not to hurt any pilgrim or any other person by our action or talk. Because of the huge throng influx from many different corners of the world, the risk becomes greater of hurting one another in these crowded places. In order to minimize or completely avoid the risk of hurting other pilgrims through any mean, we should especially and carefully be attentive while performing Tawaaf or circumambulation around the Holy Kaaba and should not try to move hastily if it is too crowded.
We should also be careful and remain in the borders of modesty in different places like while at the Holy Kaaba or hotel elevators, where women and men intermingle. We should pay proper attention to follow the rules and maintain order and dignity while entering, staying and exiting the sacred places. In these sacred places several acts are strictly prohibited and we should not forget that, even to pick up grass or plucking flower or killing the body lice, these seems small acts but can void our pilgrimage. Our main objective there is to do every single act that take us closer to ALLAH Almighty and we should endeavour that our impolite and harsh actions may turn into acts of mercy, love, kindness, and humbleness. We should not forget that like every good action and deed, our committed misdeeds and sins will also receive their return and we will be accountable for our every single act we do in this world.
