@Yasir:
I think nobody would be going for Hajj following the film stars.. It is surely Allah’s call to them (the lucky ones) at His home… It is a huge blessing so everyone is and will go to seek Allah’s pleasure not following stars since they themselves are just normal human beings like us.
Anyway.. It is really good to see both Afridi and Amir Khan at this huge occassion together! May Allah also shower His bounties and call us for Hajj and Umrah every year. Ameen!

Some persons who had been on Haj Pilgrimage 40 years ago have told me that there are some requirements to take up this once in a lifetime pilgrimage. They observe strict rules for 40 days (not sure, could be 30 days) prior to taking up the pilgrimage. Before going on the pilgrimage, they pay off all their debts and also write their Will to distribute their property. Also, they believe that a person should not take up Haj Pilgrimage more than once in their lifetime as they believe that they should give others also a chance to go on the Haj Pilgrimage. When they come back from Haj Pilgrimage, I have seen that they are totally different persons. They become very humble and good in all walks of life and never get angry for anything. You will know a Haji when you talk to them.

Islam dont allow boasting to talk about prayers like that.It is a public matter of Personal matter. I have Christian and many friends from other faiths and they never boast about any of their prayers in public and they make it a Personal matter. Just imagine if the same stuff will be going on in Hazrat Muhammad’s time then this coverage of Celebrity Hajj will be like that or not. Also Maulana Tariq’s Jameel Islam is something else and i listened to him once and believe me His Islam is a new Islam that is did not existed 1400 years ago and that only exists in India and in Pakistan and even he has Hadees Books that even Saudi Ulema dont know from where from they were invented in the first place. So before calling Maulana Tariq Jameel a Scholar kindly study what is going on with his Teachings.

@Bookie: Based on your argument Since Hajj costs money so this means all poor are out of reach from chosen one from Allah. This implies Rich are chosen Ones while Islam is not for the Poor at all. My neighbors who are all time corrupt do Hajj on an yearly basis while my another neighbor who is a father of three girls is a government teacher and he will never Afford the Hajj in his life time. So what this means.?? that Corrupt Custom officer is a Chosen one while that teacher is the cursed one because of Poverty???? So does this suggest Islam is only for the Rich and anyone coming back from Hajj however how much corrupt he or she will be called a Haji Sahib or Haji Sahiba and then we will start calling them chosen ones that would lead to natural bias of Character assessment only based on Hajj.?

@Raj – USA:
Hajj is a very spiritual and humbling experiene. Living in two piece cloth, a wordly VIP man prays along side a commoner, bows his head on the same dirth and reminds himself that his worldly status is unworthy if his deeds arent. One of my teachers, when returned from Hajj, was a changed man alltogether;very Humble and concious of his behaviour. But again of us are unforrtunate in a sense that we miss the true spirit of Hajj. Its more than a ritual, its a learning expereince all together..

Have you noticed the kind of responses you invited by your comment, specially from
@Midhat and @Green Oval.
Don’t they appear to be more educated,cultured and civilised than you (judging by your comments).
Don’t bring shame and embarrassment to yourself and Indians like me.

@deep: and I hope and pray Aamir does have that born again moment.its better for him and every Muslim to surrender our will to the Lord whom we claim to believe and follow.its better to please him rather than pleasing the public at the expense of betraying him.Hajj is great and most spiritual journey.If your a Muslim than you should Pray to be on path of righteous and beloved of Allah.only that will help all of us attain salvation rather than glitz and glamour of bollywood.

This is good news that our brothers has gone to mecca to perform the annual pilgrimage, but salute to the Bosnian Muslim man 47-year-old reached Saudi Arabia this week to perform the annual pilgrimage after traveling nearly 5,900 km on foot from his Bosnian village.

@Khurram Awan:
People like you can easily be misguided. You are one of them who know nothing but live on others bones. You might have heard about Moulana Tariq Jamil from any extremist as extremists dislike him because his message is the Message of Islam that is PEACE. He presents Authentic Hadith. I am scared if you watch Sacrilegious Movies, You might change your mind about Islam as you do not have personal observations. This is what PTA has banned Youtube because you guys do not have mind to differentiate with your senses ‘What is wrong what is Right’. Respect Scholars and always present Proofs. Saudi Scholars might have said, but who they are? which sect they belong to? (Sects are reality :-( ) Explain it. Do not mind it buddy. Be positive.
