Minaa Needs
Upgrade for Pilgrims
By
Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Time to time we see
stampede at Minaa
during Hajj, which is an alarm for all of us and if anyone has better
suggestion need to come forward and present and forward to Saudi
Government to save lives.
Remember: Hajj is fard only ONCE
in our lifetime for those who are physically fit (NOT Disabled) as well
as financially healthy, and no one should be allowed to go for more
than one Hajj, unless
he is helping his MAHRAM women to reduce overcrowdings/overloading.
One must know his/her Medical/Physical Fitness before going for Hajj to
avoid being burden on others. Also they must start daily practice of
FAST walking
for 5 Kilo
Meters for two months immediately after Ramadan before going for Hajj. Many of us
might not be able to get another chance to perform it again.
At Hajj
you may have to face many
challenges, and that could be a test of patience for you,
so be patience at all times, (Ref. Al_Quraan_005:002,
094). Remember: Hajj is NOT a Five Star PICNIC.
Ministry of Hajj,
Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia http://haj.gov.sa/en-us/Pages/default.aspx
must re-organize
Hajj
using modern technologies to give equal opportunity to all Pilgrims
(Hajees), since in front of Allah all
Pilgrims (Hajees) are equal
except those who are better in Taqwa NOT Money.
Allah knows their Taqwa
from their heart, which you cannot.
There
must be allocated time for all
Pilgrims to perform Tawaaf of the Kabaa, Saee at Al-Safa &
Al-Marwah, and Ramee at the Jamarat etc., to avoid any bad
incidents
due to overcrowdings/overloading, keeping in mind there will be sick
and old people including women and we need to take care of all as much
as possible.
Every Pilgrim to Makkah
for Hajj MUST
have guaranteed equal opportunity to offer at least five times of
Salaat with Jamaat behind Imaam Kabaa inside Haram in Makkah.
Every Pilgrim to Makkah
for Hajj MUST
get guaranteed equal opportunity to stay near Kabaa to offer five times
of Salaat with Jamaat behind Imaam Kabaa inside Haram in Makkah first
and then move far away from Kabaa to give opportunity to others to have
little less rush during this time. Otherwise those who go to Kabaa and
sit there for a long time and of course for doing Ibadah but prevents
other Pilgrims (Hajees) from doing their Ibadah or making extreme
hardship on others, because of occupying all the spaces whenever they
want during whole day and night.
In Minaa as well, every
Pilgrim to
Makkah for Hajj & Umrah MUST have guaranteed equal opportunity
to
have one common standard of tents for all. No Five Star Tents etc.
Number of washrooms must be increased so that people don’t have to
lineups for hours. Special cares need to be taken to clean garbage
DAILY otherwise there are chances to spread epidemic/pandemic deceases
like SARS, BIRD FLUE, EBOLA. Already vast majority of Pilgrims are
getting sick every year, which could be due to Great Mess of Garbage
piles up at Mina. No one should be allowed to wash cloths there except
for emergency. Cloths should be washed later when they go back to their
hotels/accommodations etc. Hajj is for Ibadah only, not to waste time
and create problems for others. All Pilgrims MUST be well prepared for
these days.
All transportations must
be provided
on equal opportunities to all Pilgrims (Hajees) and it must follow a
balanced good standard.
Minaa
needs upgrade using modern
technologies as one unified accommodation for all Pilgrims for Hajj as
well as Umrah, instead of Five Star Hotels & Five Star Picnics.
Modern Tents can be
of solid bricks for ongoing reusability to reduce
pollutions.
“Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk.
Labbayk La shareeka Laka Labbayk. Innal hamda Wan ni’mata Laka wal
mulk. La shareeka lak.”
"Here I am at Your service O Lord,
here I am. Here I am. There is no partner to You. Here I am. Truly, all
praise and favour is Yours, as well as all Dominion. There is no
partner to You.”
