face the Holy Qabr of Rasulullah peace be upon him and once again renew the recitation of Salaam on Rasulullah(saws). then make dua

How to make dua –— recite Hamd and Sana of allah (praises of the Almighty Allah) then Durood Shareef and make Du’aa to Allah Ta’aala, invoking the Waseelah of Rasulullah. Again request for Rasulullah’s (saws) Shafa’at. When making Du’aa, raise both the hands. ask forgiveness to allah by placing prophet’s wasila and ask prophet to intercede for you in the court of allah definetly allah will forgive you and reward you.Adopt an attitude of utmost respect and awe. One’s Du’aa should be for one’s self, parents, Mashaa’ikh (spiritual leaders), family, relatives, friends and for all the Muslims in general. One’s Du’aa should cover all Deeni as well as worldly needs and desires. One should make Du’aa for one’s self, family, relatives and all Muslims. Make Du’aa for the acceptance of one’s Ibaadat and for steadfastness on Deen. Make Du’aa for a death on Imaan and for a safe return home.

There should be no pomp or show off. One should not wish to be called or recognized as a Haajee.

The pilgrims should refrain talking about hardships of hajj ,contrary they should talk about the greatness of the sacred places.
