While i was enjoying my swiss made chocolate just now , I was told by a fren, that i m gonna received more gifts from her, wow...thank you in advance.
Ecstatic! Definitely.
Anyway, I've actually forgotten to thank Mr Maz for that bottle of holy water, & other functional gifts he gave, from the holy land of Mecca. He just peformed the 5th duty of the Five Pillars of Islam (The term given to the five duties incumbent on every Muslim).
Every able-bodied Muslim is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.
Insya Allah, with Allah's permission, I will make it my destination too..not so soon..but surely..eventually
Islamic teachers say that the Hajj should be an expression of devotion to Allah, not a means to gain social standing. The believer should be self-aware and examine their intentions in performing the pilgrimage. This should lead to constant striving for self-improvement.
TOTALLY.
