You guys are missing the point here, some people go on hajj to die. They want the holy pilgrimage to be their last journey. They want to die fulfilling their obligation to The Most High, And they want to be buried in the holy city of Mecca. To most people’s fragile hearts and minds, this is a tragedy, to them this is a blessing and mercy.

I don't think anyone is going there to die, that's not true at all everyone who go there want to go back to their family, they just comfort people who have a love one die there by telling them that they went straight to haven and it's good to die there but no one wish to die there.

@@marissa._ No, you’re not killing your self, a lot of elderly people simply go there in bad health, knowing that they may not make it back, but they are ok with it. They have come to the realization that death is a part of life and they weren’t meant to be here forever. What better place to go than the land where the holy prophets walked.

I didn’t even want to comment and give Fox any attention. But millions of people go and survive every year, it’s not a “death march” a walk to school in America is a death march. If anyone is unhealthy or it becomes too hard on them, they are exempt. The ignorance and Islamophobia is so blatant.

Non Muslims please hear me out, we Muslims see this as a blessing. Passing in Mecca preforming the pilgrimage is the ultimate blessing for us. I pray that I go that way and buried in Mecca. It’s like a catholic passing in the Vatican. It’s an honor so the Muslim world 🌎 including the people that passed away aren’t afraid or upset! They’re actually lucky!
@denisepaul99 5 күн бұрын
I am a catholic and I don't wish to die in the Vatican nor anywhere far from my home. Going to the mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam. There are no pillars in Christianity. It is true that there are the 7 main sins and there are the ten commandments which are the ways of life. But the Vatican is not a place of pilgrimage. It is the residence of the Pope. Catholics go on pilgrimage in Israel, in France, in Italy and in Portugal, countries that have given us Catholics, some saints.
