Ok: now I'm back at least 48hrs ago and
observing the comments of Mina incident
of
public in general. I'm sorry to say but our
people assumptions regarding Mina
stampede is
really false and they are just creating two
impressions 1) discouraging people to
perform
this unique religion ceremony keeping
blame
on Saudis, 2) spreading hatred among
Muslim
hood.
Let me tell you the series of events;
1. Starting from Crane incident the media
took a front seat especially foreign like
BBC,
Economist and Times of India etc and
criticising the USD60bn expansion of
Haram
Sharif. My point was which nation have
ever
prepared for incidents like tsunami, flash
rains & floods, storms etc. I was the
prime
witnessed while the Crain fell down and
believe me or not it was Act of God.
Everything came up in matter of seconds
and
flew away whatever came in its way. The
Crain which fell was the world second
largest
and installed outside of Haram but it
cannot
sustained the wind pressure and electric
lightening and believe me or not the
mega
Crain fell like a piece of paper in air. Since
I
told you it was act of God even then the
prayers doesn't stop and handful of
people
kept doing Tawaf and I was one of them.
On
Saudis side they didn't let people to panic
and
they close the doors for only half & hour
and
clear all bodies and injured people from
venue.
They didn't impose any emergency and
let the
people to continue their worship.
2. Mina incident: the arrangements at
Mina
were more than efficient this time. Over
100,000 Askaris/volunteer placed at all
the
places. Thousands of cold drinking waters
tanks and toilets installed on every few
meters. To counter heat , they have put
extra
post of water sprinkle with every lamb
post
throughout the streets, thousands of
mobile
water, juices and cold drinks trucks were
there
to feed all Hujjajs, plus they have
operated
the trains & busses to transport people.
Importantly, they have also put the strict
vigilance on the illegal entrants to avoid
the
congestion. Despite every thing again the
Act
of God started to work. The weather all
started to become hot from 37 degree to
48
degree on the first night of Mina there
was
again wind storm came with thunder. But
this
time the winds were hot and water
pouring was
cold Subhanallah. On the very next day
Arafat the most hot day witnessed. All
air-
conditions at camps turned liabilities and
started to through hot air and by day end
it
made people exhausted. There you come
the
journey from Arafat to Mina. Myself
witnessed the aftermaths of heat
thousands
of people starting to faint even at night
time
even our five-star bus gear system get
corrupted and bus get stopped. We had
to walk
for our destiny too. The stampede
day....over
3million people walk on one direction but
unlike
previous years this year the heat waves
are at
all time high. With past two days of
fatigue
and heat wave it was hard to make way to
Jamarat. I believe where stampede
happened it
was due to heat, suffocation and people
lost
patience due to heat. And it all
happened.
Those who are putting conspiracies like
Irani
people were responsible for stampede, or
convoy movement of prince, or the
mistake of
Askari over there are just misleading the
entire Ummah and helping non-Muslims
to
counter us.
I bet the way Saudis are facilitating
Hujjajs
no body even the super power like US can
do
it. Imagine what's the need of spending
USD
60bn for Haram expansion. The power
plant to
provide entire mosque power is
18,000mw
that's more than power we produce in
entire
Pakistan.
While I must recommend to all Muslims
to treat
this as Act of God. And my faith is that
now
Allah is testing all Muslims that whether
Muslims will be scared of all these
difficulties
or go ahead with the Hajj in the years to
follow. In due course, I believe the
jealous
international media will keep shaping up
our
views by pointing wrong and baseless
arguments and do their best to put
differences among muslim hood. So the
ball in
our court.
