Blessings of hajj:

Abu Hurayrah related that the prophet(saw) said:

One who performs hajj without marital relations or committing any sins returns from hajj as pure as he was on the day he was born.

Ibn mas'ud related that the prophet(saw) said:

perform hajj and umrah one after another, because both remove poverty and sins just as a hammer removes rust from iron, gold and silver, and there is no reward for an accepted hajj except paradise.

the purpose of this thread is...a simple question..... is anybody performing hajj this year?

serioulsy some of u are aware of me...how am attached to hajj....a question that hits me several time...when will i be called to my lords place? something is stuck to me, that cannot be easily removed.....

every now and then, waking in the morning..i wish i was there....okay i'll stop am getting to emotional.....well its my destination and my goal inshAllah....

even thou, my dream is egypt or as a family were planning to go abroad...saudi arabia comes to my mind and my heart, as its locked in forever!

so inshalah tell moi how many of u from this forum are planning to go hajj this year? as i'll feel comfortable....pray for me there when u reach there inshalah...and for the ummah inshalah....

travelling to mina, spending the night in muzdalifah, half of the day in arafat,jamarat, arriving in medinah sharif...... woah truly amazing journey..subanallah........climbing the mountain noor and sur...ya Allah...everyday..i wish i was there....

anyway this year am not going...but inshalah i'll see the live hajj coverage on islam channel...and i wont move from my seat...proper glued....

But inshalah next year my mums planning to go, for time being i'll save some money inshalah....

Abu Hurayrah reported that the prophet(saw) said:

One who performs hajj and one who performs umrah are Allah's guests, if they invoke Allah, He responds to them, and if they seek his forgiveness, He forgives them.

erm...rite 8 viewed the thread without responding the poll or answered the question......i see

My eyes are on u............lol......

I wanna go to hajjj!!!!!!! Wish i could go...

Jazakallah khair for the info sis!!

inshaAllah next year, inshaAllah...

I know that Muslims are supposed to be the only ones going. Do non-Muslims ever go to see what it is like?

Non-muslims arn't allowed it's the purist place on earth, btw this isn't discrimination.

I don't think that it would be discrimination. I bet non-Muslims go. How would a person be able to tell? I'm not saying that non-Muslims should go, I was just curious.

well non-muslims cant enter the limits of makkah ... they are not allowed ..thorough paper check is done ... if people lie for the sake of getting in they have to get their papers(passports etc ) changed etc .. thats a big problem ....

inshaallah i will soon go there.... after getting a job

shahada must be stated in order to be admitted, lol would you state that you believe in the one and only Allah and Muhammad is his messenger, to see makkah?

we (me & my parents) are planning ... pray Allah fulfills our plan for the hajj this year.

Personally I wouldn't state the above just to see Makkah. I do think that if for some reason I had a deep burning desire to visit Makkah I'd lie and act Muslim.

its not that easy. you have to have proof whether it be your passport or, if not then a official header from a masjid confirming you are muslim.

a controlled demolition group went from england to demolish some buildings in makkah. even they could not enter makkah but had to do this via video help.

okay..is anybody else going hajj dis year? or th following year.....

inshahallah.. we will.. i wana gooo.. cant wait!

i probably wud do umrah 1st.. and the hajj.. not sure.. my family want 2 go, hav 2 wait 4 ma sis 2 grow up a lil
