DIVINITY

Assalamu alaikum,

Unfortunately no one can be told what Hajj is like; you will have to see it for yourself. The grandeur of the Ka’ba, the sublime nature of the Rawdha, the talbiya at Arafat (Labbaik allah…), the tranquility of Mujdalifa, the ominous feeling surrounding the Jamarat…indescribable!

A lot of conditions must be fulfilled before Hajj becomes Fard on a muslim. I believe a great majority of people readng this have not yet attained this state, neither did I. My mother paid for my hajj…however that is not important.

We all spend thousands on Christian Dior perfumes, Nike sneakers, fries at KFC and root beers at A&W. And of course my early trip to stamp exhibitions and some of your vacation to exotic locations. Please the next time you think of a traveling destination, give the Holy Ka’ba a thought. It takes a little more than one lakh for an Umrah package at Mecca. Ten days stay, not luxurious but it will quench the deepest thirst of your soul. Take Bhabuk's money back guarantee for it. Don’t wait for the calling, just respond to it, for verily Allah has already invited you all.

Please pray that Allah accepts the Hajj of this sinner, and if I have ever wronged you people, please look into your heart and see if there can be forgiveness. Whatever wrong I have done against Allah, he may forgive; but whatever wrong I have done against you, only you can forgive.

Best wishes,
Bhabuk
