Decorative Hajj

Hajj is a wonderful life-time experience for Muslim people, a journey in the footsteps of prophet Ibrahim toward God, where all people wear the same pure white cloth. The very first second of entering the Masjed Al-Haram, where Kaaba is located, is extremely overwhelming. Every procedural activity has an insight into the fundamental characteristics of a human being. Hajj is a time to revise the way of thinking.


It is important that one would be benefited from this trip such a benefit that can never happen anywhere else. Unfortunately, in recent years, many people take Hajj a vacation as a religious tourist and the only thing that they bring back with themselves is a luggage full of souvenirs. Parties after that where people rather share their shopping experience destroys the true spirit of Hajj. And again a normal unchanged life starts over.

How wonderful and meaningful your selected picture is!
I always wonder how people can come out of this peaceful place masjed al-haram and spend their time in other places?!

I took the pic from the cover of a book called "No god but god". Well, I don't really think that spending time in other places would harm if you keep the spirit and convey it to other people

It's not harmful but if you expereince the peace of mind in that small place relative to disgusting city(probably it's not nice to name that city(mecca) disgusting but it is really what I felt there)you would also wonder how spending time for other purpose than main purpose of journey is possible..I think when you don't spend time in a peaceful place to think about your aims the spirit never build up.
By the way that's my experience ,It might not be true for all
