Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

Barrett, Allah subhanho wa Taala says what Allah He added Nursey
hijo btw MedStar la Usabilla
it is a responsibility, it is incumbent for the people
that they perform this hedge for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
and they have to do at least once in their life, then Allah says
Minister da, whoever has the ability to have Sabina, Sabina
whoever has the ability to perform the hajj, wherever has the ability
to buy the ticket and make all of the required preparations and
expenditure undertaken expenditure and go, that's what's important.
Now what I want to mention today is
the Hajj is such a thing that there's so much misconception
about it, it's probably out of all of the five pillars of Islam, it's
probably one of the most oppressed pillars, because if you look at
it, everybody understands they have to do solid on a daily basis.
So even if they're not doing solid, even if they're lazy about
it, they know they have to do it. And they generally do it. So it's
on their mind, people may remind them they see solid being
performed around them. So it's a reminder, shahada to Allah ilaha
illallah to bear witness that's obviously done, right. And
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is Allah's Messenger that's obviously
something that we could people can do very easily. So that's not a
very oppressed pillar, in a sense, then you have fasting when it
comes to the month of Ramadan, mashallah, there's people who
don't pray outside the month of Ramadan, but they do fast during
the month of Ramadan. In fact, Ramadan, and the fast are
considered to be very, very important by many, many, many,
many Muslims, even those who don't pray regularly sometimes. Then it
comes to Zakah. Now is that God, obviously, that is one that is
unfortunately not as well taken by everybody as it should be. And
people don't observe it as much mashallah many, many, many people
do but there are a lot of people who haven't paid zakat for for
years and years, of course, they should be concerned about that
because it's a form and it's eating away at their wealth. If
they don't pay zakat, then it's eating up their wealth, all the
pollution in their wealth remains the dirt of their wealth remains
because that's according to a hadith of Muslim. It's worse equal
Ahmad, an acid is the the dirt of the wealth of people, and hence he
needs to be removed. So you are benefiting yourself your wealth,
and you are fulfilling the pillar of Islam. However, it's hudge that
a lot of people have issues with. And there's a real number of
misconceptions about that. And that's what I want to deal with
first today. One of the biggest misconceptions about Hajj is that
people think they're not pious enough, right. They're not pious
enough to go there and benefit from it. And this is the shaytans
biggest, biggest ploy here that he doesn't want you to go. Until you
know you overcome yourself, people really pressure you and then you
feel really embarrassed and then eventually you go but by that time
you've become old, right? You've lost a lot of your energy, a lot
of a lot of your ability, right? You don't have the your
youthfulness anymore. And then after the Hajj is very, very
difficult for a lot of people. Now what you have to understand is a
number of things. Number one, Hajj is the place to go and become
righteous, the amount of people that are benefiting from going for
Hajj, that are influenced positively that are beneficially
effected Subhanallah the inspiration that they get, it is a
place where you've got 3 million people doing the same thing all
apparently worshipping Allah subhanaw taala trying to get them
to as accepted, you will be sitting there and there'll be
somebody next to you that will crying. And you'd be surprised how
is that, you know, you wouldn't do this in some other place.
Sometimes you need an environment to cry, if nobody's crying around
you and you start crying, you feel embarrassed, right. But when it
comes to Hodge people are crying, I remember there was a number of
documentaries that various media outlets did, like CNN, PBS, and so
on. And the people that they followed, I noticed I mean, you
know, it's very difficult to cry in front of others. But these
people are on camera, they're being followed around. But at the
end, they all break down eventually, if you don't break
down on the Day of Arafah. Right, if you don't break down in the
heart on Subhanallah at the end of the day, that must be a very hot
heart. But even though these people on camera, they broken down
the crying in front of the camera, that is the place the environment
that it creates is an environment of rijo. illallah, you know, to
return to Allah subhanaw taala, to focus to reflect, to really,
really ponder over ourself and to really feel remorse over our sins
that is basically one of the greatest benefits that you will
see because of the environment that it creates. Well that the
environment is there for for a number of reasons. That is the one
place where the mercies of Allah constantly descending because
Allah subhanaw taala has chosen to locate his house in that place.
And subhanAllah that is the most amazing part here. There are parts
around the house of Allah that carrabba Right which have great
blessing, great acceptance of Da under the miserable Rama by the
door of the Kaaba by the, by the militarism, the Blackstone, just
that entire area. So the fact that you've got this entire environment
of Raju Illa, Allah, of, of return to Allah of this entire
reflection, piety, righteousness, you know, of selflessness in a
sense of sacrifice, all of this is happening, all of this is washing
away at our sin at washing away our sins. And then you've got this
immense mercy that's coming down, you know, tell me who's not going
to become righteous there. Right? That is the place to go and become
righteous. And that's where Allah wants us to go these he must you
Luxor is a Nephal. It's, it's a, it's something that if we do, we
get huge amounts of reward. But if you don't do then you won't be
questioned about why you didn't go to Machu Luxa as a visit. And when
it comes to the Kaaba the Hajj, then that is a different story.
That's a fault, we are obligated to go there if we have the means.
And in England, most people have the means, however, going back to
going back to the point about the environment, and what we benefit
from being there is that
aside from all of the environment that's created, the other benefit
is that there are so many doors that are accepted that it's a
place for the acceptance of your door. So if you're worried that
you're not going to be righteous, you're not going to be biased,
that's the place to go and make your DUA and make some commitments
down there. It's very easy to make that commitment because you know,
you're in a change of scene, you can say, when I go back to
England, when I go back to the US when I go back to this country or
that country, then this is what I'm going to do. Right? This is
the kind of changes I'm going to make. I give you some stories
there are some very interesting stories. When I went on on my
first hedge, I had a number of brothers with me from America was
all guys that went as a group and Subhanallah what happened is there
was one of our brothers. He had he told me later he told me later
only after he got back he says two of my daughters during Hajj were
accepted is that one of them was a he had a cholesterol problem. He
made a lot of dua right for that, and I didn't know that, you know,
this is what he was doing during Hajj because everybody makes their
own private doors, you know, this a very personal kind of thing.
However, when he got back home, he said that Al Hamdulillah one is
that Allah subhanaw taala has, has given me control now of my
cholesterol problem. And number two, which was something very
manifest very clear, was that he was married to a Mexican convert
and she was finding it very difficult. The sister very
difficult to wear a hijab and cover her hair. And this was
something that really hurt him a lot, you know, something he really
wanted. When he came for Hajj. This is the dua he made. When he
goes back home. He lands at LAX airport, Los Angeles airport, and
then his wife comes to pick him up and mashallah she has a hijab on
and since that day, she has been wearing a hijab. He's making dua
down there, it's being accepted down there. Another example that I
will give you is that there was a person who work from India or
Pakistan, you know, you've got lots of these workers from India
or Pakistan who work in Saudi. So this person went for Amara, right?
It took some time off from his work or whatever, we can do it in
a way he was exactly whether he was in Jeddah, or whatever. He
went for an ombre. He went for he went to Makkah, actually, he went
to Morocco. I don't know if he did our own route or not, but he got a
chance at the militarism, the militarism is the part between the
door and the Blackstone, he got a chance to go and do the audit.
That's where the profits or loss on went and he put his chest and
his and his cheek there. And he made dua to Allah he cried, that's
the place to do that. It's just, it's a that that is the cradle of
your mother. Basically, if you can get there, it's just like you've
gone into the lap of your mother, and you're just crying your heart
out asking for whatever you want. It's an amazing place. If you get
a chance to go there. Obviously, there's a lot of rush that is
there. But it's it's possible to get a chance there more than is
probably to go and get a kiss of the cab of the Blackstone. But
anyway,
he got there and he made a dua to Allah his daughter was at Oh Allah
make my son a half is of the Quran. His son is young, you know,
seven, eight years old, whatever age he was, I can't remember the
exact age. Now he makes his dua, he goes back home, right? He's
sorry. He goes back to his residence. And you know, in those
days is not mobile phones, no cell phones, what he had, what happened
is that, you know, you have an answering machine on your phone
and there was a beep on the answering machine that somebody
had called the left a message. It was a message from his wife. So he
called the back in India or Pakistan. Right? And subhanAllah
SubhanAllah. She tells him one of the things she tells him is that
you know, mashallah, I've just gone and taken our son and just
dropped him to the half to the local half is to become a harvest
Subhanallah he makes a dua here and his door is accepted down
there pretty much immediately, and he gets the Basharat and glad
tidings of it immediately. So do as a maid Donna, I remember there
were there's been cases where, you know, I've had people ask me
questions before Ramadan, Nigeria and tell them you know, make give,
make some time off for me. There was one, one period where you
know, things weren't going very right there were some obstacles in
my path. And suddenly I realized that things are happening much
more easily suddenly these obstacles are removed.
Masha Allah things are happening very easily. And I was quite
surprised I said what happened because it was like a marked, you
know, I could see it, it was very clear that mashallah things had
become suddenly very easy for me, right and whatever difficulties
were they were being removed. So I really thought to myself, well,
what's happened here, somebody's door has been accepted. And I
realize it's hedge time, although I didn't go hedge. You know, I
wasn't in hedge that year. But I thought to myself that it must be
one of the brothers because I just done a hedge seminar before that,
right, which, you know, I recommend to people or request
people that they make dua for me. So if somebody's making the offer
me, somebody's making the offer me, and I see the benefits of it
here. So you know, I can completely swear by this, that you
get benefit from going for Hajj. And it really, really, really
helps you. So if you want to make changes in your life, don't wait
to make them here and then go for Hajj. Yes, you have to have a
certain frame of mind. But it's that's the place that you will
benefit from now, let me tell you something, Hajj is not getting
easier. What you have to realize, yes, they got a massive expansion
project. And the Harlem is becoming, you know, 10 times its
size and all the rest of it. You see from the pictures, and the
hotels, you're getting these massive, massive, luxurious hotels
that are coming up. However, that doesn't mean hygiene is going to
be easier. I tell you something, you know, you can pay for a five
star package, you can pay for a five star package, but your five
stars is only going to be restricted to your hotel room, and
maybe down to the lobby. Because once you come out of that hotel
number one, you sometimes have to wait for the elevators, right?
Yes, they could be many, many elevators, but it's not like you
can just come out of your room and get into the home straightaway.
There is no no five star like that, you know, you can have a
five star hotel. Now that your five star hotel is only going to
last you until the lobby until the door as soon as you come out of
there. Even if your hotel is in front of the door of the Kaaba for
you to get in Hajj days from outside of your hotel into the
Haram by the Kaaba is going to take you a lot of minutes, it's
going to take you a long time because the crowds are such that
although on a normal day, it could be a three minute walk, maybe five
minute walk. But to get through those crowds literally just
packing the place that the outside courtyard is going to really
you're going to have to really negotiate all of your energies to
get through into the Kaaba. So yes, people say the hotel is five
minutes away, but believe me, that is an in on the days of Hajj, that
becomes a lot more complicated. It is not five minutes. So fine, you
can say that I'll do a five star hotel will pay for the package and
whatever. Yes, there are some $20,000 hedge packages out there.
And they give you everything from a you know from your five star
hotels to Inman or they give you Al Jazeera they give you you know,
satellite TV, you know, buffet dinner, satellite TV Wi Fi, right?
Okay, I can understand Wi Fi, maybe present it? Why do you need
that for? So what kind of a hedge Are you paying for? You're paying
for your own destruction, waste of time, essentially. So there are
packages out there for the people who want to pay, who want that
notch higher who they think, you know, they're above the rest. But
that's not the point. The point is, the point is that hedge is
only getting more difficult, and it is getting more expensive.
Unfortunately, it is getting a lot more expensive. I remember in 2001
might have cost me $1,800 $1,800, including ticket from America,
that's where I was at the time 1800 That means double the flight.
Because you know,
America to Makkah to Judah is the double probably the double the
distance from here, right, because we come halfway in between from
England. So including ticket it was $1,800. Right. Now, today, the
cheapest hedge package sharing, you know, quad rooms, six in a
room seven in a room, whatever is about the cheapest hedge bracket
I've seen is around three to three and a half 1000 If you're lucky,
right.
However, hedge is getting more expensive. And there's no doubt
about that. Unfortunately, lots and lots of money is being made in
the process, which makes it very expensive for people. So hygiene
is only getting more expensive. So don't think it's gonna get
cheaper. I hope it does. But you know, don't expect that. But it is
not going to become easier because the distances are becoming
greater. And the reason I mentioned that is if you look at
the Haram, it's expanded now GABA is in the middle of that for you
to get from the door to the Kaaba, right is a lot more complex,
especially if you're in these new in the new complexes in the new
expansions. It takes a lot more time to get there to go through
the crowds, a lot more people are gonna go the Saudis are going to
open up to a lot more people, so don't think it's gonna get easier,
right? I hope it does. But you know, don't expect that. And
believe me, I have seen people in my group that I go with, right,
you've got old people after a few days, some of them get knocked
out. Only the very fit older people are able to really go
through otherwise then they have to get their son, their daughter,
somebody else to go and stone for them to take them to push them in
a wheelchair. And it's not a pretty sight. I mean, do you want
to be carried around in your head? Do you want to do it yourself?
Look, don't think hydrazone wanting this is another
misconception.
If you can really do hydroponics in your life like this is you live
in the West, we are so different don't have your Indian Pakistani
mentality. Right. I'll tell you what the differences, the poor,
you know, our poor brothers and sisters in these other countries,
if you look at the rate of the earning their salary compared to
what a hedge trip cost, that is so much different to what our
packages and our salary ratio is. And so I was in South Africa
recently, what I discovered is that in London, if you live in
London, and your package is to your your salary is about
20 25,000, which is like a basic minimal package that everybody
gets, right, any professional gets a 20 to 25,000 pounds, how much
does a house cost in London, anything decent is going to cost
you at least 400,000 minimum. And it's not even in the center
anywhere close to the center, right? 400,000? What is the ratio
of 20,000 to 400,000? How many years? Like if you didn't spend
any money at all, and you kept all of your 20,000? How many times is
20,000? Going to 400,000?
Right? It is a huge amount? What do you know what it is?
Is that 2020 times 20? Is 400. Yes, okay. That would mean you
have to save up a minimum 20 years, but that's impossible,
because you need to miss your rent and you know, everything else. So
can you see that many mum? It actually goes beyond that. 2030
What's the point then? Right. Whereas if you go to South Africa,
for example, in many of these other countries, the amount you're
making, like even if somebody makes, let's just say
500 pounds a month, right, which is 100 pounds is about
$20,000 20,000 rents, right? Because one round is 20. Right? So
100 is 20,000 rounds. So 200 500 would be
500 would be how many rounds 500 would be 1000 10,000 rounds,
right? Because sorry, not 100,000 rounds, 100,000 rounds. So if you
if you spend that it's much more easier, because they're the
cheapest house than the from my calculation down there the
cheapest decent kind of house, you could, if you saved up for seven,
eight years, you could get a house there. But here, you can save over
20 years and you can't get a house. However, when it comes to
hedge, it's different. If you say the basic package is three and a
half 1000 In this country, in India, Pakistan is not much
cheaper, it is still two and a half to 3000. Unless they get
subsidized, right. But otherwise, it is still the same amount
because Saudi charges the same you know whether you're an Indian
Pakistani, unless you want to be really far out, or it's still
expensive. So the ratio there is big, very different for people in
India to survive, you know, who make literally what, 200 pounds a
month, if they're lucky, right? 200 300 maximum, unless they've
got a got a very good job. But the majority are saying they have to
literally save up for us for as long as we have to save up for a
house. In fact, probably more than that. That's why for them they get
one Hutch. That's why when they go, they go for six weeks, they go
for eight weeks, they stay there two months, because they want to
really maximize on that time. When it comes to the UK people, America
people anywhere in the west where you're making a decent salary, the
average price still 3000 4000 pounds $5,000. Right, that's what
it is. You can easily save up in one year to do that. Because if
you've got 20,000 and as long as you're not overly spending and
you're budgeting properly, you can save, you know, 3000 pounds, I'm
assuming, right? Unless you got massive debts or whatever the case
is, and you've overspent yourself, if not one year, and then three
years, you'll save up 1000 each year.
In four years, you can do it. I guarantee you that the majority I
really would say that a lot of the people in England who haven't done
their hedge hedge has been necessary them for years and years
and years.
But they don't do it. And you are sinful for delaying, especially if
you die without performing the hedge.
Especially if you die without performing the hedge, then that's
a massive thing because you've died without a pillar of Islam.
You're in your house of Islam, your structure of Islam is not
intact. One side wasn't there at all. There was one corner missing.
You had the four as I said, you know your shahada solid Zakat and
your soul were all there but then the Hajj is missing. This is one
of the most oppressed pillars people just don't do it as much as
they should do. So you must understand that go for Hajj, go
there, ask Allah take the benefits. And then after that if
you need to go again Hamdulillah you know we have the in this
country we've got no excuse our limit. In India, you've got 100
You've got 180 million Muslims, approximately 170 to 180 million
Muslims. It's not a small number. Hi Joanie allows about 3,000,002.7
to 3 million Muslims from about 2.7 Muslims and so if I remember
correctly, that's the only amount they allow from outside the rest
of the locals.
So if we say just 3 million Muslims, you got 170 80 million
Muslims, that's more than the Middle East put together of all
the Muslims there. Amount, Pakistan 150 million Muslims or
so. So just there we've got over 300 million Muslims in Bangladesh,
right? If you add that as well, that increases, they have quotas
in those countries, how many people can go?
How many people can go here our quota is you can't go more than
once in five years. I mean, in fact, you can because you can go
one, the men, the men can go one year themselves, then if they have
to take the womenfolk, then they can go as a matter of again,
within five years, we've got a lot of opportunity. There's just no
excuse. And believe me the benefit you come back with the two hours
that accepted the right that's why the prophets Allah Lawson said
Therby are all banal Hedgy will aroma Rafi no Humayun fee and in
fuckery.
Go one hedge afternoon, follow one hedge with another, follow one
camera with another because it removes poverty. Now, when you
look at that hadith, rationally, it sounds so
irrational, you're spending 3000 pounds 4000 pounds a hedge package
1000 panaroma package
and your money is going to increase? It's going to remove
your poverty. Can you imagine that? How do you believe that?
Well, that's the part of the test of our faith, because it's about
Iman believe, a Lavina. You know, and I believe this is the
distinctive feature. Lots of other people do worship. But this Eman
believe and to really believe in the unseen you know, we are used
to living in a society which thinks that you put money in a
bank with a high yield interest in a savings account, you buy bonds
and other sick guaranteed securities of that nature, they
call them securities as well, right? And you pay you know, 5000
pounds, $10,000, whatever it is, right, and you get your capital,
your capital is supposed to be secure. And you also get this much
percentage every year. That's what we consider rational I can see my
money growing, it's safe. But we're told gives the cat give
sadaqa give 1/40 of your wealth, give sadaqa spend in the path of
Allah. And Allah says in the Quran, he will multiply seven
times 70 times. Because it's like, you know, it's gonna, it's going
to be like the growth and each one each ear of corn has this many.
And this is the multiplication you'll get. And that just doesn't
sound rational for many people. How is that possible? It was a
student who wanted to go and there were there was a young man who was
going to university, he wanted to go and study the dean, but his
father wouldn't let him go. And the argument was that what are you
going to do for yourself if you become an antonym? Basically, he's
got this Indian Pakistani concept, right of the other limb, who,
unfortunately, some of them have to live on handouts, they don't
get paid enough. And it's the society that makes them like that,
unfortunately, right? So he reckons that his son will be
oppressed, his son will be helpless, his son will be in great
need. So his son wants to go and study the deen. So his son came to
speak to me and said, My father has finally come around and he
wants to speak to a scholar about this. So I said, Okay, I can insha
Allah speak to him. And he said to me, just one thing, do not break
bring up the Tawakkol issue. Don't talk about reliance, you know, on
reliance on Allah, don't worry, you will work you know, and so on.
Because he just doesn't it's not in his frame of mind that's
irrational for him. The Tawakkol is so weak, so poor, the whole
concept of reliance in Allah subhanaw taala is poor
unfortunately, whereas the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, low
contemplate our Karuna and Allah He Hakata a coup de la Rosa Kakuka
Yasuko Playa del hoodoo Remar son what the rule who bid on wonderful
Hadith, the prophet callosum is telling us to observe he says that
if you have the word call in Allah subhanaw taala.
As much as it is right to be relied upon, your token needs to
be up to that level that is suited to Allah of how much he Ric
Tawakkol is required on him. Then he will feed you just like He
feeds the birds. They go in the morning class on empty and they
come back at night. Full bitterness, stomach full. Now this
isn't tell you that you have to sit back and do nothing that's not
the worker. The birds don't do that. They go in the morning, they
go empty. They look for food, but Allah provides them and they come
back. So I look at anybody who's made an effort, they get something
you sit back and do nothing and say this is Torquil that is false
tobacco that is not the workload that is something else. Real
tobacco is you make the effort you keep your focus on Allah that He
will provide and he does and he does he provides he will provide
to those who have to work on and he may even provide to those who
don't have to work on but those who have to work who will have
more barakah in what he has provided them Hamdulillah that
student did find any
Oh and he did mashallah his father did throw out a bit and did melt a
bit and did allow him to go. But look in the West, which scholar is
suffering. But going back to our hedge, going back to our hedge,
the whole point is that though this may sound irrational, it is
based on belief and a Lavina. You know, and I believe that's why
Allah then says hola ICA who the mirror beam will echo human
muffler Hone first part of the Quran we read, these are the
people who are on the guidance of the Lord meaning they know Allah
has guided them and they know the way they know that this is what
you must do, you must believe in the unseen and they are the
successful ones follow the successful ones. Fella is an
amazing words, which means a success after which will be no
failure. So it doesn't mean just have success in this world, but a
success in the Hereafter, because any success in this world
generally is followed by a failure or could do whereas in the
hereafter if you get into Jannah once and you have that follow,
then that is the end of it. So there should be no excuse for Hajj
because we are being sinful by delaying it. Now I know when it
comes to our sisters, I know they are that they have they have an
additional step that they need to do which is that they have to have
a Muharram so even if they have their own money mashallah a lot of
men and women have their own money many women are working right. Many
women are mashallah contributing to our society. They're helping
out, you know, with whether that be childminding, whether that be
child education, whether that means cooking and preparing and,
you know, there's a lot of social services that our women provide as
well now, mashallah is better than sitting at home doing nothing,
believe me, right, you know, to go and do a social service in a, in a
good environment in a pious, righteous environment, because
then you feel like you're giving something right, it removes the
depression and so on so forth, mashallah many of our women have
their money, right. And,
you know, they get gifts, and there's lots of way that women can
make money as well. But at the end of the day, even if they have the
money, that they have to then fulfill this other
condition of having a Muharram to take them and sometimes their
husband is not ready to take them. Right, then they should try to get
their brother to take them their father to take them if they've got
a son that's old enough to take them. So you know, that is a
condition, but they must keep praying to Allah to try to make
that happen. They must try to keep praying to Allah to make that
happen, then if it doesn't, in some cases, you know, some women,
unfortunately, they just don't have the Muharram. Right, or
whatever the case is, in fact, I've seen a case in Syria, where
there was an older woman who'd lost everybody, you know, husband
lost everything, and she really wanted to go for Hajj. So she just
married somebody, just so that she could go to Hajj. You know, they
were she was not in need of married as such. She was old, she
was old. Right? She used to actually come to the class of
Sheikh a deep class that we used to go to this is the story that I
heard about her, she actually married somebody so that she could
go for Hajj. Now she was very old, like a grandmother. Right? But
what I'm trying to say is that I know sometimes that there is a lot
of women who want to go for Hajj, may Allah subhanaw taala make it
easy for them? Because not always do the Muslims oblige. And there
have been so many cases, I get this question I have nobody take
me and my husband doesn't want to go, you know, for whatever reason,
the case is, I mean, another option that you can do sometimes
if somebody doesn't want to go because they don't have the money,
maybe you can pay for their hedge or contribute towards their hedge
to take them These are just ideas. But the main thing is that anybody
who has the ability to go and they don't go, then that is a massive
problem. And I wanted to just clear the misconceptions there
because that is such a beautiful and that's why they say that
whoever performs well in Ramadan, sometimes the gift of that is they
go to Hajj. Ramadan is a time of effort. And Hajj is the time to
realize that efforts, because who you worshiping, you're worshiping
Allah subhanaw taala. If you then get invited to his house, as
recognition for what you have done, then what a wonderful thing
that is, we pray to Allah subhanaw taala that Allah subhanaw taala
grants us that award. And he allows us to go back over and over
again because it is an absolute true blessing to be in those
sacred presence. It is an amazing feeling. And it is an amazing,
amazing place to just soak in the immense mercy and blessing that is
on offer. May Allah subhanaw taala give us that ability. Once you go
once you will realize once you will go once you will realize that
you will become hooked on that you know Subhanallah Yes, you may
suffer some difficulties, right you may not get the right spot in
Mina right, you may lose your bus, you may have problems. All of that
is possible and you got 3 million people on there. But otherwise it
goes like a charm. Yes, there are incidents, but otherwise generally
it goes like a charm. And may Allah subhanaw taala reward the
Saudis for the effort that they do place in which yes mistakes can be
making member can be made and are made, but in general, they they do
a very decent job may Allah subhanaw taala reward them for
them.
alla grande last and may Allah grant them the ability to be more
hospitable than even they are right now. And to make things
facilitate things and to cheapen things or to to to make things
less expensive rather because that unfortunately is a big factor for
a lot of people. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us all
acceptance well here that one Anil hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen
