CrowdsDon’t stop in the flow
Pray, rest and make dua away from passages.
Mengapa ini penting
One person stopping in a packed Mataf creates a wave of pressure behind them. Most crowd injuries begin with a sudden stop.
Lakukan
- Step to the edge before stopping
- Pray in rows, not in corridors
- Agree a meeting point outside the flow
Hindari
- Sitting or sleeping in passages and on stairs
- Stopping at the gates to take photos
- Walking against the direction of Tawaf
Apa yang harus dilakukan
- Look for a side area or an upper floor
- Keep moving at the crowd’s pace
- If you fall — protect your head and call out; people around will lift you
