A flight for the holy Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage is the stream of dream of each and every Muslims.

For Allah, when our hearts go there

Were we turn our face during prayer and in grave yard

Were the history smiles, now to lit the world

When we send thousands of thanks for his support

And mercy around the Ka’aba wall,

To shed tears.. ,Were many shed blood of faith

The pilgrimage is once in a life time obligation for those who have physical and financial ability to undertake the journey. It is essentially a reenactment of the rituals of great Prophet and teachers of Islam.

The first is after the completion of Ramadan, the Islamic month which Muslims fast daily from down to sun set as a part of an afford towards self purification and betterment. The second takes place during the time of the pilgrimage, Eid ul adha and the first Eid ul Fitr. Getting a fortune to complete Ramadan and Hajj is very treasure ad pleasure.

By him, house the loving pilgrims visit,

Responding with Ihram at the appointed limit

Uncovering their heads I total humility

Before one to whom face bow in servility.

They exclaim in the valley

<<We have responded to you. All Praise to you and the kingdom too!>>

He invited us and they answered, with love and pleasure.

When they call upon Him, came the divine treasure..
