Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Any Complaints about Hajj

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.
