- In Mina, our prayers are shortened but not joined and each is performed on time. Our entire group will always pray in Jamah (all together).
- Do Dhikr, Istighfar, Tasbih, Dua and if possible, try to recite the entire Qur’an.
- Eat and drink, get to know people, but be cautious; only think and speak good, don’t invalidate your Ihram by vain talk, wrangling, quarrels, gossip, arguing, backbiting, and worldly matters in general.
- Train yourself in patience, respectfulness, truthfulness, gratification to Allah ﷻ and reduce your needs to the minimum.
