Hajj 2010
Performing Hajj isn't easy. For anyone who isn't familiar with the religious rules and regulations, it may seem like one more religious duty,
performed by many Muslims, every year.
Thats all.
I'm affraid, it is lot more than just choosing to perform a yearly religious oblligation.
The time of the Hajj changes every year, as the Islamic calender is based on the moon. So, when the Hajj falls during the summer, the hardship every pilgrim has to endure, becomes pretty unthinkable. Not all pilgrims are born or raised in the Middle Eastern climate. And the summer in Saudi Arabia is not like that of English summer.
Hajj 2010
The pilgrimage boils down to actual TEST of the FAITH of the followers of Islam.
Nothing more, nothing less. Many become very sick, during Hajj. Elderly pilgrims die. My own uncle became very ill, during this year's Hajj.
Yet, he stayed on, finished all duties as required, like a Momin Muslim.
