Someone sponsored me and my family for hajj, so we got the best, and really, with all that luxury it didnt feel like hajj at all. Food was wasted, women traveled with all their jewelry, men smoked after dinner.

What kind of hajj is that eh? I feel like I have to make it again.
 
:sl:

I honestly don't see what the problem is. I am by no means an expert on hajj, but I don't see what's wrong with wanting to stay in a hotel rather than sleeping on the floor in a tent.

I can hardly sleep in the heat, add sleeping on the floor and I'll probably get no sleep at all... add the locust I've been hearing about and I know I won't get any sleep! How am I meant to get the most out of my hajj if I can't even rest to keep my energy up?
 
Whining during umrah/hajj is wrong

being wasteful during umrah/hajj is wrong

having a nice place to stay isnt

having air conditioning isnt



the prophet sallallahi alaihi wasallaam always chose the easier of two paths, im NOT saying the more comfy (as he was offered a kingdome on earth which he refused) but im saying he would choose the easier path...

less fitnah that way



sa7?
 
well...there are pampered Malaysian pilgrims...

For normal price, it's RM 12,000.00 per person...you register today and you can only perform hajj in 2014.

But for those who want to perform hajj in this year and only registered this year.... there is a special package of minimum RM 35,000.00... the pilgrims will have better room, better service etc than those who paid RM 12,000.00...

And those who are pampered Malaysian pilgrims, from what I've heard thay have to pay RM 100,000.00. They would have the best of the best rooms, service, private vehicles, chauffeurs, butlers etc. Even their tents in Arafat, Muzalifa, Mina is covered by grass (this is what I've heard from a friend of mine...cannot verified though... but the RM 100,000.00 super-special package does exist for Malaysian pilgrims.
 
nobody is saying anything about staying in hotels. we/they are saying stayin in a big rich show offy hotel and forgetting what your there for is wrong.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but during hajj you shouldn't be able to differentiate between a prince and a pauper
 
:sl:

Huh? Tents are in Mina, which has no hotels. Hotels are in Makkah, which has no tents. The nights aren't hot in Mina, and won't be until Hajj is in August / September which is a way off. Even then, there are air conditioners in the tents, so you won't feel the heat while you're asleep. There are foam mattresses in the tents if people wanna use it, and the rugs are pretty nice. I don't think the locusts are a problem, never heard of it anyway. If they are, the Saudis would do somethin so the hujjaj don't suffer anyway...

Precisely sista!

The fact that a person is even in the holy city, should be more than enough an uplifiting experience. One that makes you forget all the 'hardships' that you are enduring.

Agreed. And depending on the type of person you are, you might look back on those hardships and be like, wow, that was an aweeesome Hajj alhamdulillah!
 
:sl: peeps,
fishman, my bro i agree with you.
theres a difference between a need and a want,
theres the basics a person needs,
and luxuries a person wants,
it just seems a person can't have (sakoon) peace,
unless hes in a marriot or a hilton hotel!
