"Isn't it better spending your time in Allah's House worshipping Him and not nursing an illness or injury?" -- Foreward to "Staying Healthy On Hajj & Umrah" by Lut R. Nero, Ph.D., Dean of Library Services, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
From the Publisher
I was excited to review the manuscript Doctor and Nurse Luqmans brought to me. I had made Hajj already, and remembered missing some prayers at the Haram due to not feeling well. Since each prayer at Masjid al Haram is worth 100,000 at any other place on earth except Masjid al Nabi (Prophet’s SAW masjid), making as many fard prayers as possible at the Kabah is a priority for Pilgrims on Hajj.
When I started reading “Staying Healthy On Hajj & Umrah”, I quickly realized how ill prepared I was for the rigors of my own Hajj. I didn’t exercise starting 3 months before departure. My left arm hurt due to weakness while moving through crowds during tawaf. I was nearly stampeded at the lower level of Jamarat al Aqaba on Eid Adha. I had three days of diarrhea and had to purchase antibiotics and immodium. I wish I had known about the rehydration formula so I could have drank it in Mina instead of the large amounts of water which caused me to urinate and subsequently Wudu so frequently. Their powder suggestion could have prevented me from getting that rash at the “Hajji-Belt” line while in Ihram. I lost several bars of soap in the ground level public toilet holes. I was surprised to see people wearing masks in the Masjids, but quickly found out why. I came home with the “Hajji-cough” which persisted several weeks. My wife had concerns about performing rites while on her menses and developed a yeast infection while in Saudi Arabia.
The Luqmans address all these concerns and many more from arthritis to sunburn to diabetes to even bringing the kids along on Hajj. It was a pleasure to work with these talented caring health care professionals and publish their book. I feel that “Staying Healthy On Hajj & Umrah” is required reading for anyone planning Hajj or Umrah. Take their packing lists to the store with you when buying items for your trip. Bring this book with you to Saudi Arabia and use it in the Holy Precincts. Follow their suggestions on preparing your mind, body, and soul for the most important trip of your life.
