What are the signs that my হজ্জ has been accepted?

The scholars have identified that the primary sign of an accepted হজ্জ is a positive transformation in the হাজী's character and worship after returning home. নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) said: 'An accepted হজ্জ has no reward except Paradise' (Bukhari and Muslim). While only Allah knows with certainty whether a হজ্জ is accepted, scholars point to several encouraging indicators.

These signs include: the হাজী feels a greater closeness to Allah and increased love for worship, they maintain or increase their devotion to the five daily সালাতs, they exhibit more patience, humility, and kindness in their dealings with others, they actively avoid sins they may have been involved in before হজ্জ, they increase in charitable giving and good deeds, and they feel a longing to return to the holy sites. The absence of boasting about the হজ্জ is itself considered a positive sign, as sincerity is the foundation of accepted worship.
