In The Name of Allah, The All Merciful, The All Compassionate

The Hajj
What They Don't Tell You

About 2.3 million pilgrims performed the Hajj in 2009. About 1.6 million pilgrims came from foreign countries, and the remainder, 0.7 million, was from Saudi Arabia - a slight decrease compared to 2008. The impact of the swine flu threat on Hajj numbers has been marginal.

The population density is about 7 persons per square meter during the peak period.

The Hajj is "a struggle." We must help the pilgrims by sharing experiences. 

Everyone -- the local authorities, the foreign governments and agencies, the tour operators and the pilgrims themselves -- must act decisively to achieve a Hajj free of incidents, Insha Allah.

Take necessary provisions with you for the Hajj journey, but the best provision is right conduct.
[Al-Baqarah:197]

A blessed pilgrimage is better than this world and all it contains. The reward is Paradise. Speaking well and feeding the poor make the pilgrimage blessed.

Muslims should perform the Hajj pilgrimage as soon as they are able as no one knows what lies ahead. [Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud]

Take from me your Hajj rites. [Muslim]

Pilgrims are the visitors of Allah. If they ask Him, He gives what they ask. If they seek His forgiveness, He forgives them. [Ibn Majah]


He who makes Pilgrimage to The House - avoiding indecent and immoral behaviour - emerges from his sins like a newborn baby. [Ibn Majah]

We are all travellers on the same journey - but some travellers have better road maps!

Free Wi-Fi in Hajj

Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) and Bayanat Al-Oula had setup 70 Wi-Fi access points in the holy sites. Users need to set the Wi-Fi card on their device to search for “Bayanat.” No extra settings, like an encryption key or an IP address, are required. The connection sets itself up automatically, bringing mobile Internet connectivity to anyone who needs Internet access. (Arab News, 19 Dec 2007))
