The rites of Hajj




Millions of Muslims from around the world have gathered in the Saudi city of Mecca in anticipation of the start of Hajj - the annual Muslim pilgrimage that re-enacts the actions of the Prophet Muhammad 1,377 years ago.

Taking part in the pilgrimage at least once in one's lifetime is a major obligation for all able-bodied Muslims of financial means, and between two and three million people participate in the six-day ritual every year.

Hajj occurs in the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, called Dhul-Hijjah, between the eighth and the 13th days of the month.

While the specific rituals carried out by Muslims today date back to the Prophet Muhammad's "farewell pilgrimage" in 632 AD, travelling to Mecca was a sacred annual rite for Arabian tribes centuries before the advent of Islam.

According to Islamic tradition, the Kaaba - a black silk-clad stone structure at the heart of the Grand Mosque in Mecca - was built by the Prophet Abraham in biblical times. Hajj is meant to be a commemoration of the trials Abraham was put through by God.

Corrupt Leader



The Leader was hopeness the followers, in the shoulder and his handback there is a heavy burden to bring the situation to be better. Due to heavy duty, not surprisingly, if a leader is selected and taken from the best, best from the others.


So that is how the problem happens when that time runs in a leader changed course and views to be misguided. Will there is still hope to survive as a permanent leader?

Natural selection to prove that such leaders will be killed prematurely, forcing the authority of any tooth and will also fall in front of people with all shame.


The Fakeness

Is the preferred foolery in the lead, education S-1, S-2 S-3 even though the style will work with the misguided "falsity" is. Falsity is that leadership is not based on sincerity and togetherness, as they feel as a leader, a lot of fun with the leaders lost no time to see the suffering that has been subordinate to render a building business and their needs.

This omission continues due to negligence as the owner and ruler, lied by abundant wealth, luxury car, luxury homes, bank accounts abundant, beautiful wife and a woman who was ready to call.

To support the needs of all came the other must have the "falsity" can reinforce (in spite of all), the position. With any reasons “there is no the other ways”, or forced.

Histories

History has taught and prove how much the story of destruction because of blindness and falsity in the lead, but the basic human heart and soul is weak, it is continually repeated and repeated generation after generation.

Then when people use the weapon "aji-mumpung" again regardless of the price-up and reputation?

Are there any hope in this time and have a generation of leaders willing to work for the welfare of the people and followers, is there any still a leader who is able to make his power as a field of worship and welfare? ....

our heart that is able to answer, because happiness is but if we can be grateful and enjoy what we have achieve and we have gained, ... ..
Not from what we force the form of falsity, sex-lust of power, neither the property ... ....
