Preparing for Hajj can feel overwhelming, especially for many women whose lives move so fast that there’s little room for spiritual reflection. We juggle careers, family, commitments, and ambitions—often putting aside important aspects of our Rukun Islam. It’s not because we don’t care or have forgotten, but because the journey feels distant, hidden behind the noise of daily responsibilities.
Many think, “It’s okay… I can do Badal Haji later.”
This is a common thought, quietly held by many, including myself in the past.
But through learning and the experiences shared by women in our Women & Wealth Mentoring community, we realise that Hajj doesn’t simply happen on its own.
While money is necessary, it is often the easiest part of the journey.
What really requires preparation is our mindset, readiness, and spiritual responsibilities as Muslim women.
Preparing for Hajj: Why Money Alone Isn’t Enough
In our financial workshops, we often see women who assume that once they have enough savings set aside, the rest will naturally come together. But Hajj isn’t a holiday booking. It’s not a “wait until I have time” kind of plan.
It is a spiritual commitment.
A test of discipline.
A journey that requires emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual strength.
Many of us don’t even realise:
- How early we need to register for Hajj
- What kind of emotional resilience the journey requires
- How our financial planning affects the quality of our ibadah
- The importance of clearing debts before stepping into ihram
- How mindset, not money, determines the experience we will have
At Women & Wealth, we meet countless women who excel in their careers, businesses, and households but are completely unaware of how to build a proper Hajj-readiness plan.
And this is exactly why we made it a core part of our financial mentoring.
Because your financial planning is not just about numbers.
It is about honouring your obligations to Allah with clarity and readiness.
Preparing for Hajj: A Missing Chapter in Women’s Financial Literacy
When we talk about Islamic financial literacy, we immediately think about:
- budgeting
- income management
- investment
- retirement planning
But rarely do we talk about how financial planning affects our ibadah and specifically, our ability to fulfil Hajj with peace and preparedness.
That’s why in Women & Wealth Mentoring, we introduce:
✔ Practical steps to financially prepare for Hajj
✔ Understanding the emotional and spiritual weight of the journey
✔ How women can plan Hajj while juggling career and family
✔ What every Muslim woman must know before registering
We often say, “I’ll think about this when I’m older.”
But the truth is, Hajj requires years of preparation—sometimes decades.
And the earlier you start, the lighter and clearer the responsibility becomes.

A Final Reflection
As we step into another blessed Friday, take a moment to ask yourself:
“Is Hajj in your long-term plan, or is it something you quietly push aside?”
If it has been sitting at the back of your mind…
If it feels too far, too complicated, or too overwhelming…
Know that you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Women & Wealth Mentoring is here to guide you—not just to grow your income, but to fulfil your deeper responsibilities as a Muslim woman, with clarity, structure, and purpose.
