Hajj is a journey of a lifetime. We prepare thoroughly for it, packing everything from clothing and shoes to snacks and personal items to make the journey smooth and easy.
Allāh Ta'ala informs us that the best provision for this journey is Taqwa (the fear of Allah). "And take provision, for indeed the best of provisions is the fear of Allah. (2:197)"

'Umar Radhiyallāhu anhu is reported to have said, "I would much rather commit 70 sins at Rukiyyah (a place outside Makkah) than to commit one sin in Makkah."
