On the days of Hajj, We are usually busy with our own Ibadah, but we can also perform some extra good deeds by just following some interesting works.
In this article, you will find some interesting suggestions for earning extra Thawabs, besides your main Ibadah. In Sha Allah
""In the Holy Quran Sura Bakarah(the cow), Ibrahim (a:) (peace be upon him) made a supplication to Allah. That Allah may make the city of Makkah, a secured city, and provide "Rizik" for people.""
From my own experience, I would tell you, I have seen the obvious results from dua of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) throughout the journey.
Now, during hajj, almost all the agencies take the cost including the food package and give three meals a day.
In addition, on the days of Hajj, the Saudi government also provides food, even ordinary or local people give food on the way of Mecca-Medina-Mina-Muzdalifa. Subhan Allah !!!
So many foods !!! so much food, what to do, who to give, these will be wasted, a lot of worries! At first, we couldn't find or understand the exact people to give these extra foods. It also happened with us;
Many days, many day's foods were rotten and wasted, in just thinking that "who can be given". If I could explain it to you!
It is really a very bad feeling to put a box full of fresh food in the dustbin.
May Allah make it easy for you to find you some easier solution for it. So, Today, I want to tell you what extra foods you can do.
""I will also tell you about some extra ways to income thawab. In Sha Allah""
Giving extra foods to the helpless and other poor people
The packets of food that we used to eat in Makkah, just one packet of food was enough for both of us (just one food pack contains a lot in quantity).
And we used to give the leftover rice, or extra curry, fruits, etc., to the cleaners when we went to the mosque.
The authorities actually not allow, food to be served inside the mosque. So give it to the cleaner that you find on the street. Try to give intact food.
In Mina, you will see many people sitting on the street, or on the hill areas, or next to the toilet outside the tent boundary.
They have not come through any agency, so they have no tent to stay in, no regular food, they have to buy at their own expense.
In Mina, just eat one packet of food (enough for two people) and give them another intact packet.
In addition, in Mina-Arafah, you will see in ( the two-floor) toilet buildings, some Negro women (in women's toilets) sitting on the outside door of the toilet complex. They locked the door for a few hours and clean the toilet. You can give them too. (Men's toilets have male cleaners).
I was surprised at seeing them. They clean the toilets and also keep themselves clean. Whenever Azan is called, they immediately stand there for prayers.
Fear is also for me, you, we too. They may be works so hard for money, they are staying inside the toilet building during their full duty. How well Allah(SWT) keeps me and us.
Are we still express our full gratitude to Allah(SWT)?
Especially, Do we go to prayers as soon as the Athan calls?

There are so many people from many poor countries, who are doing despicable things in our thinking, but if they did not, we would be in so much misery!
We should at least honor them, give them proper gratitude, pay them the right wages, may Allah give us that understanding.
May Allah make all good deeds easy and accept them.
There is another thing: In a tent, 50 people staying there, but your agency may have given 52 food packs; the extra 2 packets cannot be given out without the agency's permission.
Those extra packs have to be returned to the agency or you've to need permission from agency to give it to people.
So we can't give extra food to anyone without their permission, because that is the property of the agencies. " (This is the fatwa taken from the scholars) "
In fact, I have seen many good people during the Hajj. I have seen many good deeds of people. I have seen a sample of how to earn thawab.
Really, I was understood then, there are very little good deeds/thawab I have done for Akhirah.
If any of you do that after reading this,
I will surely get some part of your good works In Sha Allah
Spraying water
The temperature in Saudi Arabia is very high, but the humidity is very low and no sweetening occurs.
So it is very comfortable to spray water on the body or face or head. The water dries up after a while. Saudi police and volunteers spray water on pilgrims with spray bottles; other peoples also follow by watching it.
During Tawaf, in Mina, Arafa, many people spray on themselves and others. May Allah make the heat of resurrection comfortable for them.
Watering during Tawaf
During the day, while performing Tawaf in Mataf, people get thirsty again and again in the heat. I have seen many pilgrims standing next to the path of Tawaf with cans full of water.
The Tawaf performers stand in the inside the Tawaf areas and quench their thirst (if you move away from the Tawaf path before the 1st four rounds are completed, you have to start from the beginning again).
How much we have benefited because of them!
May Allah give them water of Abe-Kawthar in the heat of the Day of Judgment.
Cleaning wastes-dusts-dirt of the mosque
I have seen many people collecting dirt-dusts from the mosque and throw it in the dustbin. One day I saw an African man picking up dirt with a polythene bag, the polythene was almost half full.
May Allah forgive their sins. (If you can't pick up dirt, at least don't throw dirt in the mosque or on the street.
Dates, or food gifts to Hajj pilgrims
Mecca-Medina-Mina-Arafa, everywhere people serve for people, especially feeding people. Some bring dates, some bring biscuits, some bring nuts. everyone shares what they have.
How much better it would be if every one of the whole Ummah could become such brothers and sisters!
Chair / Rihal for waqf in the mosque
There is no shortage of chairs and rihals in the mosque. But if someone wants to give for the sake of Allah, he/she can give. You can buy these things and then tell the police that you want to "waqf" in the mosque.
If you can't speak Arabic or English, or just say the word Waqf.
Quran Waqf
Most of the Quran in Mecca Medina in Saudi print style (pages are green or red). Not everyone can read it.
The blue ones are more convenient in reading, but they are less. I saw a man bringing a lot of blue Quran and arranging them on a shelf in a Mosque.
Besides, I have heard that those who donate Quran Sharif to Haram, all of them are removed by Haram police check.
If you want to give a Quran, try to find a policeman who can speak English and then ask him.
There are many rihals in Medina but I did not see it in Makkah. If you want to give it in Makkah, talk with police whether they take it. ( they might take).
You can give folding chairs, they are available in super shops.
