Leave worldly matters
behind, keep personal matters personal. Hajj is the time for us to practice
zuhud (to leave things which distract you from Allah the Exalted and high).
When performing hajj, it is best that we leave all our valuables at home, in the care of Allah swt. This includes our children, parents, friends and all material objects. Hajj is not the time to worry ourselves sick about the well-being of our beloved ones; especially when we are in the best place to make du'a for them.
Neither is it the place to flaunt our expensive shoes nor largely print the titles that precede our names on our baggages. For some, their positions, careers and wealth are their precious lives that they speak, subconsciously of (I am sure), about nothing but these worldly matters.
On the contrary, some kept their true identities from others, and I knew that their secrecy was simply to avoid unnecessary praises that may lead to riya', Alhamdulillah. A dato', a datin, a medical doctor or a philosophical doctor; we are all in the holy lands to please none other than the Lord Almighty.

Thus, you should not grieve over anything you miss,
nor be proud of anything He has bestowed upon you. Allah does not love those
who are boastful, proud
(Al-Hadid: 23)
May Allah purify our hearts, cover our defects, forgive our sins and let the last of our deeds be the best!
