hidden_treasure · **Re: hajj experiences -** 01-07-2006

assalamu alaikum,

I remember seeing all the people making sujood (prostration) to Allah, and it was completely silent...that alone made me cry...Allahu Akbar..to know that we are all here (in hajj) worshipping the same Creator..submitting to Him alone.

Then, i saw all my brothers and sisters who were from different backgrounds, and of different colours, dressed so beautifully, with the traces of nur(light) on there faces...smiling and greeting one another with salams.

Women, covered in black from head to toe, as if they were precious pearls being safeguarded by there husbands who seemed to be there body guards.
Little old men crying, and making dua for Allah the Most High to forgive them for there life full of sins....sharing food with loved ones, or strangers on the premises of the Prophets masjid....

I swear im sad everytime the hajj comes and goes, as i wish i could go again, and be one of these blessed pilgrims....

Jeness18 · **Mecca -** 02-06-2006

Has anyone made a pilgrimage to Mecca? What was it like? I'm soo curious... I sound like such a gooser...but I'm learning about the Five Pillars of Islam in History now..and I thought...hmmm maybe someone could actually describe it.... get back to me whenever... ANSWER MY OTHER QUESTIONS at the Introducing myself post! Because my analysis is going to mainly be based on your posts...make your voice be heard...instead of those people like my history teacher...relating your religion with Terrorism...help me make my class understand!!!

Thanks...

Byeeee!

Greetings,

I myself have never gone, but inshallah (god willing) one day i will.
From what i know, its an amazing, undescribable feeling. I mean if you just watch it on like tv or something you will be amazed to see how all different types of people, with different backgrounds, different ethnicities are combined into one place and named as one. subhanallah!

everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah, and you cannot seperate differences from one person to the other.

Inshallah someone else can describe it better than I since i havent experienced it yet

regards

subhanallah!the stories of people who go are so amazing!i havnt been either......inshallah Allah will give me the chance to go! but people always say we have to experience it ourselves to know what its like!

Isaac · **Re: Mecca -** 02-07-2006

All i can say is imagine being in the what to muslims in a sense is the centre of the world in the largest gathering on earth. Imagine people from all colours, nations, people with differenet languages, people youve never even seen, people from places youve never heard or even thought existed. Imagine seeing young, old, rich and poor all in dressed the same. In the pilgrime to Mecce there is no diffrentiaition between rich and poor, arab or non arab. People you never seen before will treat you like family. You never wana leave, it beomes ones home. To conclude, its truely amazing, its truly the house of God.

akulion · **Re: Mecca -** 02-07-2006

I went when I was very young on Umrah (which unlike the hajj can be done all year round)

As far as I remember it was a really new yet exciting experience for me.

Insha'allah one day I intend to go for pilgrimage

It should be an amazing experience - woo hoo!

sibghatullah · **Re: Mecca -** 02-07-2006

I went for hajj three years ago and it was really a wonderful experience.......
I actually went with my maternal family i m tellin this beause i have no idea how i get to reach there it seems just like Allah called me and iwent, what actually had happened that when they were makin plans for hajj i just said i also want to go and was not really serious about it but they applied on my behalf too and it was accepted and tthis made me realize that really Allah's call is important for it and it was really shocking for me that my grand parent's application was rejected..............

Being at muzdalafa and spending night on the ground full of stones without any top makes you feel like you are nothing just a little creature of Allah.All your proud feelings come to an end.

Falafel Eater · **Re: Have you done Umrah or Hajj?? -** 02-19-2006

Yeah, Elhamdulilah, i managed to do a lot of Umrah, but no Hajj, I dont remember how many Umrahs i have done.. around 15 or 16 times

arehat · **Re: Have you done Umrah or Hajj?? -** 02-19-2006

Alhumdullilah i have performed Hajj and Umrah. It is a one life time experience and a very emotional one. To spend Ramadhaan in mecca is something extra special and the barkat of it.

May Allah rant evry1 the opportunity. Ameen
