Hajj is a journey whose virtues are unexplainable. In terms of its spirituality, memories, rituals, experiences and last but not the least, its blessings. As the pilgrims go back home, they have developed a much-heightened sense of spirituality, their brains have been bestowed with a complete shift in perspective, and the morale is quite high. However, for most of them, maintaining spirituality after hajj is quite a difficult task. Either it doesn’t last that long for them or they become easily distracted in their daily life. It's quite normal and nothing to be ashamed of. You can always learn to overcome your flaws by controlling your ‘Nafs’ and become more aware of your natural instincts.
But how? Here are a few tips.

Be consistent

Once you return from hajj, be consistent. Show consistency in your prayers, in your Sab’r, in your good deeds, in your willingness to help others. As this is what hajj is, it provides you with a fresh start of life. So never miss out on that chance. Devote yourself to positivity and charity and refrain from everything that is prohibited in Islam.

Try ...
... to Speak the truth

Speaking truth is one of the best ways to become successful in this world and the world hereafter. It remains narrated in Islam that lying is the root of all bad habits. So, prevent yourself from speaking wrong. In fact, it is a sunnah of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) to speak the truth and avoid unnecessary talking. Speak less, Observe more. Before saying anything always, evaluate; Does it have a purpose? Will it encourage others or demotivate them? Whether it's harsh or not?

Always remain grateful and humble

Allah Almighty says that if a person is content with whatever that has been given to him/her and remains thankful for it, he/she will surely be provided with much more than what was originally allocated for them. Therefore, always remain grateful and humble. Never ever show signs of pride in your personality.

Help others

Helping others in need is the ultimate pathway to seek blessings from Allah Almighty. Don’t ever hurt anyone with your hands or even your tongue. Be respectful and never judge anyone. It’s the best thing one can do. If you are able to change a life of a person towards rightfulness through your help; financial, educational, physical (health-related), religious or through your work, you’ve literally accomplished the purpose of life.

Train yourself to be more mentally and spiritually strong

After hajj, especially when you are clean and have pelted the devil, Shaytaan will try to lure you more towards wrongdoings. It might be not something very big but small unethical, unkind acts. Therefore, train your mind to be strong. Prevent yourself from activities; listening; doing or going somewhere where there’s a chance of getting distracted for you. When Shaytaan forces you to sin, remember the pelting of Jamaraat (Rami) you did on hajj. And you will be able to control your mind and body.
