FIRST REMINDER. Friday. 23rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir. How Important is Makkah and Madeenah  to the Muslim world? BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

Allah has made Makkah a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety and a holy sanctuary where pilgrims can gather to perform the rituals of Hajj and ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) in an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility, hoping for Allah’s Reward and fearing His Punishment (Glorified be He). It is also a place where the reward for performing Salah (Prayer) and righteous deeds is multiplied.

As muslims it must be among our most important priorities to visit this country either for Hajj for all those who can afford. You can also plan Umra especially in Ramadan as a visit to gain more rewards and learn more about hajj as well. If your finance or income is good then, do not waste money travelling to any country for visit other than in Saudi Arabia to visit Makkah and Madinah with your kids etc. To visit any European country, America etc is a waste of money trust me unless for business or studies. Visit Makkah and Madeenah for a spiritual experience. Sisters should not travel alone except with their husband or adult relative or in organized group even if for Hajj.
May Allah aid us to be able to visit this blessed country. Aameen.

Please remember today is Friday and as usual perform ghusul before leaving for jumuat, clean your teeth, recite suuratul kahf, recite more salutations to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and go early to the masjid before the Imam comes in please. May Allah accept our acts of worship and grant us our wish only if it will be beneficial for us. Aameen.
