First,my late little brother picture can't be displayed right now.May be next time,sorry...
Ok,now we move on to a big event on the earth;the annual pilgrimage to Mecca-the hajj-is the fifth pillar of Islam.It is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to perfom it.Nevertheless,more than two millions people go to Mecca each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those of different nations to meet one another.Although Mecca is always filled with visitors,the annual Hajj begins in the twelfth month of the Islamic year (which is lunar,not solar,so that Hajj fall sometimes in summer,sometimes in winter).This year in winter.Pilgrims wear special clothes: simple white garments which strip away distinctions of class and culture,so that all stand equal before God.The rites of the hajj,which are of Abrahamic origin,include circling the Ka'ba seven times,and going seven times between the mountains of Safa and Marwa as did Hagar during her search for water.Then the pilgrims stand together on the wide plain of Arafa and join in prayers for God's forgiveness,in what is often thought of as a preview of the Last Judgement.This called wuquf which fell tomorrow.On this monday,December 08; all Muslims will celebrate Eid-al-Adha or known as Hari Raya Aidiladha for us in south east asia.Eid-al-Adha is celebrated with prayers,qorban and the exchange of gifts in Muslim communities everywhere.What amazed and impressed me is the view of such the most beautiful sight in Mecca right now like pilgrims circling the Ka'ba which look like atom with its electron and when we see this spectecular view from sky,we can see galaxy motion alike.Subhanallah....
