العجينة حجاج بيت الله للخير العجينة حجاج بيت الله للخير العجينة everyone is responsible for their own actions and no soul will be burdened with the actions of another person as I mentioned before the best part of the Hajj was the Arafat but then again you cannot take lightly why the Muslim part and the Minna and Rami of Jamarat والتواف كل أسpect of the Hajj was significant after Arafat it was the when the Maghrib time comes after the prayer it was the walk to Dadafah and one of the scenes that I saw on that walk was this road full of people wearing this two piece of cloth the air arm just plain white simple unstitched cloth and you see these people just walking down the street to Mazdalifah millions and millions of people where your eyes cannot even see the end of it and you will think that these guys are actually walking down for their judgment it literally felt like it was judgment day and people are just walking a straight path and they're just going to Allah and be judged that was the experience that I got in Mazdalifah this is Mazdalifah we've come to do walk where you stay in this place and collect stones to throw on the Sheytan it's not exactly as I expected I did expect more sand, there's pavement but people are spread across the area sleeping where they can all united in one cause there are tents there but most of the people are on the road sleeping together united everybody's in white we can't tell which country where they're from I'm the unity today is the final stage of the pelting of the Sheytan small, medium and large is to not only get rid of our sins but all the habits that cause these sins so that we never ever do them again Insha'Allah once we reached Mazdalifah we basically just had to sleep over there and it's actually a badad to sleep in Mazdalifah and before we sleep we had to pick up the pebbles small stones to hit the Jamarat the Sheytans the three Sheytans in the Jamarat now you may think that it's just picking up the stones and hitting the Sheytan it's way more than that it's basically arming yourself with ammunition against the Sheytan of current times it's thinking in your mind that what if the Sheytan comes today what will your what will your action be what will you do how will you react to it and when you're hitting the Sheytan you're thinking that what are you getting rid of so once in Arafat you have been forgiven but what about your next life and what about the time that you will spend after the HUD picking up the stones was like picking up a vice that I had or somebody else had some that I was looking to minimize or completely completely throw out on my life was maybe a temper a temper sometimes in discussing with other people and putting forward statements it can be quite heated although I'm not one to be hot tempered but occasionally you know the Sheytan gets the better of us you would think that this is just words but when you're there and you're actually hitting the Sheytan at that time it's quite a powerful experience when you're hitting the stone you do feel like you're getting rid of it and the desire of that it's so strong in your heart is that you know that you will do it and if you won't do it if you're not able to do it you will try your best to do it you cannot forget it and I know we're still humans we're not making mistakes but the point is to try so this is the last stages of our Hajj journey this post-Halak as you can see has been shaven off and we've pelted the Jamarat again last stage is Bukuf we're just resting having a good conversation by Islam and it's coming to an end it's a sad time because we've been very close to Allah and the test will be now to keep that closeness when we go back to the UK Canada, Tanzania all our prospective locations and to keep our prayers in check read them on time with Allah's zikr and thought with us at all times because the west is very very testy over here everybody's reading the wars it's a nice brotherly unity environment and it's a little bit easier because the places we're in are very holy all of them we've been blessed that all the prophets that have been walking around these lands and that's why there's an aura a feeling of holiness about them and so I'm going to miss that yeah right now we're in Jamarat actually we're now where we hit the Jamarat and I believe this is the most excited excitement part of the Hajj it's because that when you go the first time when I went to the Jamarat and I'm hitting the Shaytan you're thinking you're just hitting a stone wall but you're actually hitting your inner shaitan in yourself and you can actually feel it that even though after an aura you think that your sins have been forgiven but you have to prepare yourself you have to arm yourself to stop from doing anything wrong that you were doing before and this was the perfect time to do it and let it out on the Shaytan in yourself and stone the Shaytan to whatever your biases are to whatever you were doing wrong before that you will not do it again so for example when you think of greed and you hit the Shaytan thinking that I'm not going to be part of this greed anymore and you're subject yourself completely to Allah and not anymore lustful desires or could be any other desires that are not Halal in case of Islam we don't know if this is our last hour I mean we still have a couple of hours here to spend in our recoup from Tazor and I'm still wondering if I will be able to finish this Haj but Insha'Allah I'm looking forward to it and this is a spirit where everyone should keep they should try to do this Wajib Haj as soon as possible I've noticed that these last 3 days they've been quite taxing on me although in a good way but I didn't know what to expect but these last 3 days have really grateful for my life back home in Canada we've got working water and nice bathrooms over here most things are kind of makeshift and it's really put things into perspective and also makes you remember they have and have not peoples or countries of the world per se and just now I can put into perspective how easy my life in Canada is compared to these 3 or 4 days that have been I don't want to do but Insha'Allah I'm happy that it's the last last day or so I will be missing the barakah that is present in this tent and Insha'Allah we can only pray that our hardships and our hardships is accepted firstly I've already decided I'm going to speak to my friends I haven't done Hajj that they must book their next flight the next year immediately because before I came on this trip I read somewhere that spending the £3,000 £4,000 on anything else is pointless it's a big sin so what you should do if you're buying a car for £6,000 put £3,000 aside and go to Hajj this is a must so I will tell all my friends to do this it's the spiritual reawakening of your soul your soul has no food and nourishment in UK in America, in Canada, in Kenya anywhere the most important place is the holy Kaaba and the precincts around the holy house which we pray towards where the angels do their own tawaf above this area so the reward for this is something separate the reward to your soul is the most important thing do not delay this Hajj if you're religious I know you will make it somehow but please do not delay it nobody knows nobody has seen tomorrow I can assure you of myself that I will be able to live tomorrow and see the day or night this is one of the most important pillars of Islam it's wajib on you that you completed I have seen people regretting it not doing it early and I've known people in this group that are actually doing it for their parents and they would wish that their parents would have done it themselves and it's only people realize when it's too late that we should have done it so my message to you is please do it as soon as possible because nothing is guaranteed and actually Imam Ali says to delay is to lose there may be someone who is next year next year but next year might not come so it's very important to see if there's time and if there's funds and if there's an opportunity to seize that opportunity to essentially make yourself a better person whether that in this case it's performing the Hajj it's fulfilling an obligation of the religion and I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for Hajj I knew generally what was required of me but you know part of it is also taking your physical strength and taking your emotional strength and using them together to accomplish this very important part of the religion and I would say to anybody who is thinking of delaying the Hajj not to do so simply because you don't know if you're going to be you don't know if there will be an opportunity for you to perform or do what you want to do it's best to put your best foot forward and do it as soon as possible
