Of course there were problems but soon they will become history,Inshallah
The Government of Saudi Arabia is doing a lot to comfort people and Hajj is getting easy day by day.You can see the Haram Extension Project,i have a few pictures.The Makkah Metro Project will soon be completed.Last year they opened a bit of it and it helped people a lot
We are indeed lucky to have all these facilities.The Hajj a few centuries before was really difficult.My Mother told me that whenever i saw those black mountains around Makkah,i always think of those times when Mumahhad SAW lived there and invite people towards Islam.The difficulties my Beloved Prophet faced and the tough life he spent in this rough and dry area always made my eyes filled of tears.
Lets go back to the old time and have the Idea of Hajj and the difficulties of Hajjaj Karam.
Ok,lets move forward.I have some pictures of the making of "Kiswa" the cover of Kaa'ba.You can see that beautiful black covering wrapped around Kaa'ba.This is "Kiswa".
"It is draped annually on the 9th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day pilgrims leave for the plains of Arafah in their Hajj.
"Every year the old Kiswa is removed, cut into small pieces and gifted to certain individuals, visiting foreign Muslim dignitaries and organisations.
The present cost of making the kiswa amounts to SR 17 million [U.S. dollar = 3.75 riyals]. The cover is 658 sq. metres long and is made of 670 kgs of pure silk. For embroidery 15 kilos of gold threads are used. It consists of 47 pieces of cloth and each piece is 14 Mts. long and 101 cms broad. The kiswa is wrapped around the Kaaba and fixed to the ground with copper rings. [...] Designing of Quranic verses is being computerised. Computerised designing has slowly replaced manual designing and increased the speed of work."
King Abd Al Aziz Bin Saud, concerned for the custody of the Two holy Mosques, ordered the establishment of a factory for manufacturing the Kiswah. The Holy Kabah Kiswah factory was founded and produced its first Kiswah the same year. The present Kiswah consists of Black silk with self embroidered calligraphies, and strips of embroidered calligraphies in the lower part of the top quarter of the walls. These embroideries are in threads of pure gold.

ooh wow ... old times were so graceful .... those people/hujjaj in those pics around kaaba and sitting in the masjid, they are dust and bones now, somewhere deep under the sand....
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
they are dust and bones now, somewhere deep under the sand....
yes but they had passed in the good times, and we are left in this time of fitna. i like our past. what is going now a days in making me much desperate. Yes there is some hope of good time as mentioned in hadith when Essa AS came back.
would u think that old pics are more nice than new ones.........they seems to be more spiritual.
********** The double Roof of Kaa'ba *******************
. Kaaba had double roofs with wooden pillars that were in one row in the middle. They installed marble stones around the roof and constructed a stair near it in order to reach the upper roof.
