A number of people have been asking how is hedge? Somebody goes
for hedge? Generally people ask how is hedge? It's a very
difficult question.
What are you supposed to say?
Somebody invites you to their house. So you invite somebody to
your house. And you're a noble individual, you go out of your way
to make them feel. At home, you're very good host. You give a lot of
hospitality, and you honor your guests. And then you specially
select your guests. They've been invited specifically.
Then they come to your house, and then then they start sitting
around and complaining. And they go back and they complain. Just
picking on small small issues, how are you going to feel?
going for Hajj Allah subhanaw taala has invited you there. Out
of the 1.7 billion or so Muslims
around the world.
And with the quota and the limitations that they have in
these several years because of the work 2.8 million Muslims were
there apparently out of which only about half? Or just more than half
maybe 50 60% were foreigners, the rest were people from from Arabia
itself.
It's an absolute honor, there's no way you can complain about
anything. It'd be absolutely foolish to complain about
anything, there is no complaint. I mean, genuinely there is no
complaint. Just the fact that you've been able to go there is
such a big deal that
how can you come back and complain about anything? It's done. You
just have to ask Allah accept it. Because that's the whole point of
it.
It was my third hudge.
But
I met a friend of mine there who has been coming for the last 1015
years.
And I was fearful of one thing. So I asked him the question while
sitting in the Haram, I said, Does it ever become just a routine?
Because he comes with a group to lead them in their religious
rights and matters and be of religious guidance. So does it
ever, because that was my fear that if I go too often, is going
to become just a routine, and you stop having value for the place.
And then it actually becomes a burden on you because you've got
that opportunity and you don't take it. So that was my fear.
That going forward, that might be the case. So I asked him, does
that happen? So he said, No, not really. But he's a very pious
individual. So you know that I think that helps to keep the
focus. It's very important to keep that focus. But there's no way you
can complain about anything. There is no complaints there are no
complaints. I mean, if there is anything that happened that was a
bit difficult,
or any problems
in comparison to the fact that you've been invited the out of 1.6
billion Muslims in the world
that just always anyway,
nothing there.
