During the annual Hajj pilgrimage on April 15, 1997, a massive fire ripped through the tent city of Mina (Makkah), killing over 340 pilgrims and wounding over 1,500 others. An estimated 2 million people assembled in Mina on the first day of Hajj. A canister of cooking gas (gas stove) exploded around 11:45 a.m. on that day, triggering a massive fire in the camp. Winds of over 40 miles per hour (64 kilometers per hour) drove the fire out of control, causing it to spread to nearby tents. An estimated 70,000 tents were destroyed in all. The Saudis employed helicopters and 300 fire engines to put out the fire. Trucks fired powerful water jets into the camp, filling the air with black smoke, according to television news sources. Following the Mina fire, King Fahd bin Abdulaziz sent condolences to the families of the dead from Saudi Arabia and overseas on behalf of himself and his country. The majority of the pilgrims, according to diplomats, were Indian and Pakistanis. Following the incident, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahad (May Allah mercy upon him) issued orders to take measures and prevent such an incident from reoccurring. The majority of tents in Mina were made fireproof within a year and a comprehensive fire plan was introduced, since then not a major fire incident has taken place and during small incidents, the fire has been controlled with no casualties or injuries Haramain Sharifain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OMRS2DO4-w 8 Likes 1 Share |

Man need explanation For a lot of things which includes how heaven and earth were created, how man came about, etc. Since some of these can't be explained rationally then the need for religion. To help concretize assumptions 6 Likes |

Muslims can comment on Christian thread without saying "I believe in Jesus the only son of God". But Christians cannot comment on Muslim thread without saying they believe in Allah. This shows you how intolerant they are. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

ValCon888:Perhaps, if Christians learnt to respect others and only engage with educative debates instead of insults and foul words, perhaps then the barriers would be raised. Till then, it will remain as it is. A quick reminder, this barrier wasn't there before. In fact, the religion section didn't have a subsection for Muslims. But when the owners of Nairaland saw how immature and intolerant Nigerian Christians behaved, they created a subsection for Muslims and called it "Islam for Muslims". Yet, that didn't stop the immature islamophobes from entering the session to spill bile and hate. Then they placed the barrier that you must testify before entry. Now look, has that stopped the intolerant and hateful islamophobes from spilling foul and hateful words against Islam and Muslims? Definitely, no. Therefore, why should the owners of the forum consider raising the barrier. In fact, they need to make a thicker barrier. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

RisenJoe: Psalm 84:5-6 New International Version 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. "Baka" is Mecca, even in the Qur'an. Your bibles are not understood by you. Christendom is a scam, thus, Church of Satan. |

Isalm- a unique and natural religion practiced by the Prophets like Moses, Adam, Zachariah, Muhammad, Jesus and many more. I'm proud for being a Muslim. 3 Likes 1 Share |

lobbyist: ...so ignorant to the extent of clear the air with biblical verses about your wrong notion on Islam. Your own ignoramus can't but argue with hate speech and blasphemy. Come up with a convinceable evidence, if at all you have any. Don't you Know the meaning of valley again? Mekka is regarded as the peninsula- an area or land sorrounded by water and the places full of hill, mountain and valley. Argue reasonably with your thumb. 2 Likes |
