Assalamoalaikum-wa-rahmatullah-hey-wabrakatu

Allhumdoillah summa allhumdoillah - I have been very fortunate to have been to Umrah/Hajj many times.

However, I can honestly say that nothing beats the first time you see Kaaba - it was amazing it was night time and the kaaba was in front of me in all its glory. It brought tears to my eyes - truly amazing. So much peace and blessings a unique experience!

The other great experience was the first time I did salaam at the Raudha - again an experience words cannot describe!

(Sorry to spoil the mood) but you would not believe some of the things that go on in the haram - astagfirullah - some of the things are bordering on KUFR and SHIRK! Dont these people fear Allah?

Wassalam

Is it true that depending on which country you are from, you will enter the masjid from a certain gate?

Subhanallah, When I hear such things it only makes my desire grow to visit it one day InshaAllah.

too many greedy people in this world, they are even desperate to steal from the Haram. may allah forgive them
i heard you can't talk bad about the arabs because the prophet is arab yet people curse the king for being greedy but who is at the end of the day providing hospitality for all those visitng the sacred city? the king

Nah bro - you can enter through any gate you like. The most virtous being Babul Salaam (and here is a tip for you) Babus Salaam is not the current door - it has been moved due to the expansion. The ORIGINAL Babus Salaam is 21 footsteps behind Maqame Ibrahim (as in the Prophet (Sallallah-ho-walahiwassalams) time)

ASTAGFIRULLAH - I have seen similair things but I have seen worse things (I dont really like to mention bad things but I will give just 2 examples) - I saw a man in ihram and he came to me near the Hill of Safa he started telling me how his mum was blind and that he had just lost all his money whilst doing tawaf! Anyway, I knew he was dodgy but gave him like 1 riyal and he started huffing and puffing and wanted a few thousand riyals!!!! Anyway, 2 days later I saw him again in the same ihram asking someone else - this time I grabbed him and reported him to the Guards!

The other classic was same story as above - but the guy said me and MY WIFE were at the Raudah and we were doing salaam and we got our money stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pointed out that men and women arent allowed to do salaam together - after which he pretended to be deaf and walked away - ASTAGFIRULLAH

I have seen many other things - but all I can say is that MAY ALLAH GUIDE THE UMMAH!

Wassalam

What happens to the cloth after they take it out at hajj time and put a new one. Where does the old one go? MY Grandma has a piece of the cloth, and she told they cut it up and give it it out to people.
brother AS, do you know what happens?
