CHOOSING
A COMPANY The person intending to
perform the Hajj from the USA must keep an open mind when choosing a Hajj
Provider. Most of the Hajj Providers will say that they have the best service,
so it is important to read the following. There are Hajj companies
in the USA who are licensed through the Ministry of Hajj in Saudi Arabia. Many
of these certified/licensed companies works along with sub-agents here in the
USA to sell Hajj packages. You can also buy your Hajj package from a sub-agent.
Using a sub-agent does not mean that you will not get the services as a
certified or licensed Hajj Provider. They all make the same basic arrangements.
In choosing a Hajj
Provider whether it is a licensed company or a sub-agent, you must ensure that
they are registered here in the USA and the company have at least 5 recent
years of experience in the Hajj services. One such Hajj Provider is a New York
based company by the name of HAJJ-USA of New York. Their testimonial looks very
attractive. They are connected to several other Hajj Providers and as a result,
they can get you any schedule you desire. Their Hajj group is normally a
handful and they have better control in providing good services. Their
spiritual leader, Shaikh Muhammad Adly, is a very
experienced Hajj guide and he speaks both English and Arabic. His website is www.adlyonline.com The following should be considered when choosing a Hajj Provider: 1) Consider
the years of experience the company have in Hajj Services 2) If
the company is registered in the USA 3) The
price they offer 4) What
kind of arrangements do they have in Saudi Arabia 5) What
kind of arrangements they make for travelling from the USA 6) The
kind of Spiritual Services offered 7) How
would the company benefit you from the services they advertise The
following questions should be asked from previous Hajjis and that will help in
making a decision on which company / group to choose. a) How did the group
communicated with you prior to you accepting their services? b) How was the group
leader’s attitude towards the group during the Hajj? c) Did the service
provided worth the money you paid comparing to other groups? d) Did the company ask
you for more money during the Hajj? e) Did you get the
service as you were promised? f) Did you get more
services than you expected? g) How was the
spiritual enlightenment during the trip? Some Hajj Providers offer
cheap prices which in turn limit their services both here in the USA and in
Saudi Arabia. They try to capture the market with the cheap prices. Some Hajj providers offer
expensive prices and promise extraordinary services but it is too high for
people’s budget. Some Hajj Providers offer
both cheap and expensive packages but they have too much to handle and as a
result, they give a poor service. After careful
evaluation, consider three things: a) Spiritually - how you can
benefit b) The price - if it can accommodate your budget
c) The program - how it is structured in Saudi Arabia Contact HAJJ-USA at 1(866)
857-7875 or go to their website at www.hajjusa.com,
they often have workable programs.
