For those who doesn’t know what ‘Hajj’ actually means, the Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims.

Go to Islam section to do the announcement or should we as Christians be frying eggs because of this

In time of austerity like these, govt should explore the idea of making pilgrimage a wholly private affair.

That is why my noble Prophet and teacher Mohammed (S. A. W) was acclaimed as the best of mankind, he taught us to stand up and respect a funeral procession even if the dead is not a Muslim, Christian or not you are dying one day.
