#Hajj to Mecca

[americaisthetrueoldworld]

Prophet Muhammed was from the Americas

Prophet Muhammed was from the Americas is a necessary post to demonstrate that Maurs/ Mu’urs and Islam are indigenous to the Americas since people want to make Islam, via, the double O European Moors, as the invaders, when we know that the Dum Diversas (papal bull) of 1452 authorized Christians to take possession of Saracens (Moslem Maurs) and pagans (Hebrews) and subject them to perpetual…

Al-baqra (196:199)

And complete the ḥajj and ʿumrah for Allāh. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charityor sacrifice. And when you are secure,then whoever performs ʿumrah [during the ḥajj months followed by ḥajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during ḥajj and of seven when you have returned [home].

Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is severe in penalty(197)

Ḥajj is [during] well-known months,so whoever has made ḥajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of iḥrām], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during ḥajj. And whatever good you do - Allāh knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allāh. And fear Me, O you of understanding (199)

Then depart from the place from where [all] the people depart and ask forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful

Around 1.8 million Muslims were expected to travel to Saudi Arabia for the religious journey, where temperatures this year reached 51.8C in the shade.

At least 550 people have died during the Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in the scorching heat, it has been reported.

Temperatures reached at least 51.8C (125F) in the shade in the Saudi Arabian city, as huge crowds of Muslims undertook the annual religious journey - one of the five pillars of Islam.

"Hajj is a difficult task, so you have to exert efforts and perform the rituals even in the conditions of heat and crowding," an Egyptian pilgrim said.

Pilgrims used umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun, as Saudi authorities warned pilgrims to stay hydrated and avoid being outdoors during the hottest hours between 11am and 3pm.

Stampedes, tent fires and other accidents have caused hundreds of deaths during the Hajj in the past 30 years. Some 240 people reportedly died last year.

This year's pilgrimage began on Friday and as usual coincided with the religious holiday, Eid al-Adha.

Dozens of deaths have been reported during this year's Hajj, with the AFP news agency putting the total at 550, citing diplomats.

Some 323 of the dead were Egyptians, most of whom perished due to heat related illness, AFP said.

A 2024 study by the Journal of Travel and Medicine found that rising global temperatures may outpace strategies to deal with the heat. A 2019 study by Geophysical Research Letters said that as temperatures rise in arid Saudi Arabia due to climate change, pilgrims performing Hajj will face "extreme danger".

A Saudi health official, speaking on Monday before many of the reports of deaths were issued, said authorities had not noticed any unusual fatalities among Muslim pilgrims amid the extremely high temperatures.

The ministry had so far treated more than 2,700 pilgrims who suffered from heat-related illness, he added.

What is the Hajj?

One of the largest mass gatherings in the world, the Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime duty for able-bodied Muslims who can afford it.

Every year hundreds of thousands of Muslims journey to the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and of the religion of Islam.

The Great Mosque of Mecca - Masjid al-Haram - is home to the Kaaba. It is Islam's holiest site and the direction in which Muslims all over the world face when they pray.

More than 1.8 million pilgrims were expected to take part this year, according to the Saudi General Authority for Statistics.

“In India, one of the country’s worst-ever and long-running heatwaves, which finally relented in mid-June, left more than 40,000 people with heatstroke, with over 100 dead. Temperatures approached 50°C, with a night-time low of 37°C, reportedly the highest ever recorded in India,” Climate Central said in a statement. In Saudi Arabia, at least 1,300 people have died from heat-related illnesses during the Hajj pilgrimage. In Greece, the Acropolis in Athens had to be shut due to temperatures above 43°C – very high for this time of year. Among the tragedies brought by the heatwave, six tourists died. The eastern coast of US experienced an intense heatwave. In New York, health officials reported a 500-600% increase in heat-related emergency visits, Climate Central said.

A Plan for the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijah

The Best Days of the World

1. Intention

Make the intention for your deeds to be sincerely for Allah ﷻ during these days, and have the conscious intention to expose yourself to the blessings of Allah ﷻ.

Whoever is sincere towards Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will be sincere towards him (meaning He ﷻ will fulfill his wishes).

2. Repentance

Make a table of all the sins that you want to pledge to Allah ﷻ that you will stop doing them.

The Conditions of Repentance:

1. Abandoning the sin completely.

2. Feeling remorse for what has already happened (of sins).

3. Having the firm intention never to return to the sin ever again.

3. Praying

The Five Daily Prayers (in their Fixed Times)

Leave everything behind you as soon as you hear the azaan and get up and pray.

"The best of deeds is prayer during its earliest time."

Remember, you will be doing what our Lord ﷻ loves the most.

4. As-Sunan Ar-Rawaatib

12 Raka'ahs everyday.

(2 before Fajr -4 before Zuhr and 2 after it - 2 after Maghrib-2 after Isha)

"Whoever prays in a day and night 12 raka'ahs voluntarily, Allah ﷻ will build a house for him in Paradise."

Imagine🤍🙏🏻

5. Night Prayer

Any even number of rakaahs, and end them with one rakaah of Witr and make du'a for everything you want.

"And pray during the night when the people are asleep, and you will enter Jannah in peace."

What more could you want?!

6. Duha Prayer

Two to eight raka'ahs, any time between 15 minutes after sunrise till 15 minutes before Zuhr.

It is a daily charity for every joint in your body.

(Also known as Chaast or Awwabeen Prayer.)

7. Fasting

Have the intention to fast the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Messenger ﷺ of Allah ﷻ used to do, especially the Day of 'Arafah.

"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah, l anticipate that Allah ﷻ will expiate (through it the sins of) the year before it and the year after it."

8. Quran

Our goal is to finish reciting the whole Qur'an at least once (during these 10 days):

Day 1 - From Surat Al-Fatihah till the end of Surat Ale 'Imraan.

Day 2 - From Surat An-Nisa till the end of Surat Al-An'aam.

Day 3 - From Surat Al-A'raaf till the end of Surat At-Tawbah.

Day 4 - From Surat Yunus till the end of Surat Ar-Ra'd.

Day 5 - From Surat Ibraheer til the end of Surat Al-Kahf.

Day 6 - From Surat Marlam till the end of Surat Al-Mu'minoon.

Day 7 - From Surat Ash-Shu'araah till the end of Surat Al-Ahzaab.

Day 8 - From Surat Saba till the end of Surat Fussilat.

Day 9 - From Surat Ash-Shura till the end of Surat Al-Hadeed.

Day 10 - From Surat Al-Mujadilah til the end of Surat An-Naas,

9. Zikr

(Remembrance of Allah ﷻ)

Let your tongue be busy with:

100 times at the very least

 ‏سبحان الله

‏الحمد لله

 ‏لا اله الا الله

‏الله اكبر

 ‏لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله

‏الصلاة على الرسول ﷺ

‏استغفر الله العظيم وأتوب إليه

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ‏

“and mention the name of Allah ﷻ on known days” (al-baqara: 203)

10. Azkaar

(Let these Azkaar also be a part of your day)

1. The azkaar of the morning and the evening.

2. The azkaar after every prayer.

3. Repeating the azaan and the du'a after it.

4. The azkaar before sleeping.

Write down some examples of these azkaar on paper and stick/hang them up where you usually walk.

(meaning where you'd see them a lot, just to be reminded of them as much as possible).

11. Du'a (Supplication)

Write down every single thing you've ever wanted and keep supplicating to Allah ﷻ again and again for it everyday (especially in Sujood, between the azaan and the iqamah, and during the last one-third of the night).

And persist in making even more du'a on the Day of 'Arafah.

And watch all your wishes come true after a while in sha Allah ﷻ.

12. Supplicating for Others

Assign a portion of your du' a for at least a hundred people. Choose ten people everyday from your family, spouse, friends, teachers, and anyone who has ever benefited you in any way, and make alot of dua for them, from your heart.

And make du'a for all the Muslims:

"May Allah ﷻ forgive me and my parents and the believing men and the believing women and the muslim men and the muslim women, alive and deceased"

13. Charity

Do not let a single day go by without giving out some charity, even if it is just a small amount.

Think of ten needy people that you want to help, or put a little money in a cash box everyday and take out and give away the whole amount on the last day.

14. Maintain the Ties of Kinship

Give a call or leave a message everyday to one of your extended family members.

The message can be as follows:

"How are you t/n? l hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that l am remembering you a lot in my du'as today.”

15. Reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

Aim to do a Sunnah act everyday, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

For example:

- Saying Bismillah (before starting anything).

-Sitting down while drinking.

Starting with the right hand or right side (when doing certain things).

- Reciting the opening supplication (in the prayer before reciting Surat Al-Fatihah).

- Performing Wudu before going to sleep.

- Reciting the prescribed dua after making Wudu.

16. Prohibitions

Beware of wasting the best days of the world and the greatest days of worship in:

Watching TV

Social Media

Backbiting

useless talk

Sleeping too much

Perhaps you may never get these days again.

may Allah ﷻ accept from us all, ameen 🤍

THE HOLY KAABA

The Holy Kaaba, located in Mecca is the holiest shrine in Islam. The Holy Kaaba was originally built by Prophet Adam, then rebuilt by Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail. The Holy Kaaba is elegantly draped in a silk and cotton veil embroided with verses of the Holy Quran in pure gold.

In Islam, Muslims pray five times a day towards the direction of the Holy Kaaba. This direction is marked in all mosques and enables the faithful to know in what direction they should pray. The Quran established the direction of the pray. All Muslims aspire to undertake the Hajj, or annual pilgrimage, to the Kaaba once in their life if they are able. Prayer five times a day and the hajj are two of the five pillars of Islam, the most fundamental principles of the faith.

Upon arriving in Mecca, millions of pilgrims gather in the courtyard of the Masjid al-Haram around the Kaaba. They then circumambulate (tawaf in Arabic) the Kaaba, during which they hope to kiss and touch the Black Stone (al-Hajar al-Aswad), embedded in the eastern corner of the Kaaba.

THE BLACK STONE OF THE KAABA

The Black Stone of the Kaaba, (Arabic Al-Hajar al-Aswad ), Muslim object of veneration, built into the eastern wall of the Kaaba. The Black Stone originally from paradise, was given to Prophet Adam and was originally white but has become black by absorbing the sins of the thousands of pilgrims, who have kissed and touched it.

THE STATION OF IBRAHIM

The Station of Ibrahim is the large stone block on which Prophet Ibrahim stood while building the upper walls of the Holy Kaaba. It is believed that this rock was sent from heaven to Prophet Ibrahim.

One of the miracles of Prophet Ibrahim, is that when he stood on that rock, it became soft and which resulted in making the impression of his feet on the rock. After centuries, those impressions are still on the rock.

Prophet Ibrahim would stand on the rock and Prophet Ismail ( the son of Prophet Ibrahim ) would hand the stones to him. It is located in front of Kaaba, near the door of the sanctuary.

So a lot of people died this year in Hajj because the Saudi government is a piece of crap with no proper management. My mum almost got crushed and came back traumatised from the amount of dead bodies she saw.

Why the hell would you block all the roads and taxi service, then force people to walk in a heatwave?

Where were the authorities to break apart the huge crowds?

Where is the Islamic morality Saudi Arabia? First the whole loving Israel thing, now this.

Great job👏👏👏

Look I know incidents happen during the Hajj from time to time.

Like fistfights or the like. Or that crane collapse a few years back. Among other things.

But this is BAD!

Poor bastards
