Re: [mukto-mona] Haj photo-ops of Khaleda

Hajj is not mandatory; it is recommended for once in a life-time to those who can afford.

>>>>>>>> For every capable person (male and female with physical and financial capacity) it is 100% mandatory to perform hajj at least ONCE in a life time. Member Roy I do not expect to you (not Muslim person) to know this (Albeit most Bangladeshis know as it is very basic in Islam) know about Islam, KINDLY stop talking about stuff you do not know.

If you want to talk about political leaders, feel free.

If someone thinks he/she can buy a seat in the heaven by going to Hajj multiple times, he/she is a fool

>>>>>>>> It is mandatory to perform it ONCE and if someone does it more than once, it is just an option only. Not a requirement of Islam.

I could appreciate it more if Jana-Netri would send some poor people from the slum for Hajj with the money she spent for her own Hajj so many times. That would definitely accrue much more credits, in my view.

>>>>>>>>> Good point.

You should learn to criticize your leaders, when they do wrong. Otherwise, you will get bunch of garbage from them.

>>>>>>> Thank you for the reminder.

Shalom!

Therefore, when someone does it multiple times, just because he/she can, it becomes redundant and useless visit. If someone thinks he/she can buy a seat in the heaven by going to Hajj multiple times, he/she is a fool. That's why I am counting how many times the 'Jana-Netri'  of one of the poorest countries in the world goes to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj. I hope you understand my point now.

 

I could appreciate it more if Jana-Netri would send some poor people from the slum for Hajj with the money she spent for her own Hajj so many times. That would definitely accrue much more credits, in my view.

 

Why are you comparing Hajj with burglary/corruption? I don't understand your argument. Please clarify? These are two different issues. Isn't it?

 

I am amazed by thoughts of well literate people, like you, who are unable to think straight. You are mixing up ideas in order to defend your political leader. You should learn to criticize your leaders, when they do wrong. Otherwise, you will get bunch of garbage from them.

Why are you wasting your time trying to find out the number of times Khaleda Zia performed Hajj? Are you tracking the number of times the (chief!) burglars burgling in Bangladesh?

When a political leader goes to a foreign country on a personal visit, it's usually part of a nefarious mission. Recently, wheelchair bound Mirza Fakrul went to Singapore; he is now bouncing on just fine; I lost track - how many times Madam Zia went to Singapore.

 

In my view, every year going to Mecca for Hajj is arrogance, if not sinister act, considering millions will never be able to go there even once in their lifetimes.

I'm thinking of the multiple times our political leaders go to KSA to perform Haj and umrah. The idea advertised is: more photo-ops at Haj the more religious, and more 'Muslim' you prove yourself to be. Especially memorable are pictures of Begum Khaleda Zia and Al Haj Falu wrapped in their ahrams and false piety.

"Muslims are required to perform Haj only once in their lifetime. Those who perform it repeatedly may actually be at sin, because they are crowding other Muslims who have paid their life's savings, and came from distant parts of the world to perform Haj. Just because they may be financially capable, and healthy, does not give them the right to do so. Why don t Muslims just follow Islam teachings?!" T. Tawfiq
