Tilawat and Azan video Live from Macca - Arabic

The Saudi Regime's Inability To Administer Hajj Hajj is a great occasion for all the Muslim Ummah. The question is, where is the spirit of Hajj? By building tall buildings around Ka'ba, have the Saudis done justice to this great worship of Hajj? Has the Saudi regime been able to ensure the safety of the pilgrims? Remember the Mina incident? Why does this regime not let Muslims express disassociation with the arrogant powers of the world who have suppressed Muslims even in their own countries? Should this culprit Saudi regime be allowed to stay custodians of Macca and Madina?

When he was in Macca Malcolm X or Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabaz wrote a letter to his loyal assistants in Harlem... from his heart. --- Here is a related excerpt from Dr. Ali Shariati-s famous book HAJJ - Chapter-The Delay in Mina--- There is a two day stay over in Mina to think about your ideology and what you have done. On the 'Id day and after the sacrifice, the ceremonies are over. You must stay two more days or even three more days, if you can, in Mina. You are not supposed to leave Mina in these days - not even to return to Mecca! Why? Satan is defeated, sacrifice is offered, Ihram is removed and 'Id is celebrated! Why should more than a million people remain in this valley for two or three more days! This time allows them to think about Ha]J and understand what they have done. They can discuss their problems with people from other parts of the world who have the same faith, love, needs and ideology. Muslim thinkers and intellectuals who gather here and freedom-fighters who fight colonialism, oppression, poverty, ignorance and corruption in their homelands, get to know each other, discuss their problems, find solutions and ask for each other's help. Muslims from all over are supposed to study the dangers and conspiracies of the super-powers and their agents who have infiltrated Muslim nations. They should make resolutions to fight against brainwashing, propaganda, disunity, heresy, false religions ... and many other diseases threatening the "unity" of Muslim nations. They should offer a common and worldwide struggle to introduce Islamic facts and support the cause of freedom for colonized nations and those Muslim minorities who are under the torture of fascist regimes as well as prejudiced political groups. Through a system of cooperation and understanding and an exchange of views and feelings, the Muslim communities would be strengthened in their struggle against their common enemy. A better understanding of true Islamic doctrine can be brought about by solving some of the theological differences that exist among Muslim religious groups! http://www.al-islam.org/hajj/shariati/

Muslim pilgrims staged a protest ceremony Thursday in the Iranian tent in Arafat in Mecca Saudi Arabia in renunciation of the arrogant superpowers of the world.

An Iranian man who says he was kidnapped and interrogated for 14 months in the US over Iran's nuclear programme, has returned to his home country where he was reunited with his family. Shahram Amiri says he was abducted by US and Saudi agents at gunpoint while on a pilgrimage to the Saudi city of Mecca last year and flown to the US, where he claims he was physically and psychologically tortured under questioning. The US government has denied all the allegations, saying Amiri was not held against his own will in the US. Speaking to Al Jazeera in Doha on Wednesday en route to Tehran, Amiri said: "For 14 months I was put under a number of pressures in the US. And in reality the freedom to communicate with my family and to express myself in an ordinary fashion was not granted. "Behind the scenes this was very politically motivated."

For over 1,400 years, Muslims have been performing the pilgrimage, or Hajj, to the sacred site of Mecca. In modern times, approximately two million Muslims make the pilgrimage to Mecca each year, a trip required of all Muslims at least once in lifetime if they are financially and physically able. During the Hajj, Muslims from all over the world come together for a few days to participate in common rituals, joined together by their shared faith in the most holy places of Islam, the city and surrounding areas of Mecca. As the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (p) and the site where he first received Qur'anic revelation, Mecca is a place of great spirituality and tradition. Since only Muslims may enter Mecca, it is a place that few Americans will get to see, which makes this piece especially interesting. Following writer/producer Michael Wolfe, the film documents his second trip or Hajj for ABC News' Nightline. One of the more than seven million Muslims in the United States, Wolfe is a convert to Islam, born to a Christian mother and a Jewish father. Speaking live from the Ka'ba, the Great Mosque in Mecca, in an interview with ABC News' Ted Koppel, Wolfe takes viewers step-by-step through both the physical and spiritual aspects of the pilgrimage, explaining the origins and meanings of the various rituals.

Three million Muslims have made their way to Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Worshippers have been climbing Mount Arafat, the hill of forgiveness on which Prophet Muhammad is believed to have delivered his last sermon.

Muslims perform Baraat Az Mushrikeen during Hajj Pilgrimage of 2010

Around two million white-robed Muslims converged Monday at Mount Arafat as the hajj, the world's largest annual pilgrimage, peaked at the site of the Prophet Mohammed's last sermon.

Nearly three million pilgrims on Monday were heading for Mount Arafat, just outside the holy city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, on the second day of the Hajj, the pilgrimage undertaken by many Muslims.

From all corners of the world, Muslims gather annually to perform the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca wearing simple white cloth, leaving behind the comforts of their homes for a brief period. By forgoing their lifestyles, their only focus is to pray to God as his humble servant and ask for his forgiveness and mercy. However, with the change of times the surroundings of the Grand Mosque have changed with the appearance of five-star luxury hotels and shopping malls. These malls offer the material items people crave to have at a time when Muslims are expected to forgo life's luxuries and pleasures. But in the modern 21st century, few can ignore the need for consumer items, regardless of the location. Sohail Rahman reports from Mecca.

A Sunni Scholar talks about Baraat Az Mushrikeen - Urdu

Hajj involves two parallel journeys, namely the journey of body and the journey of soul. Pilgrims of the House of God purify their hearts from what keeps them away from God. The rituals start in the Great Mosque by circling seven times round the Kaaba in an anti-clockwise direction, which is known as Tawaf, followed by two rakat of prayers. Pilgrims often experience a very moving moment when they first set their eyes on Kabba. They walk and run seven times along a passageway in the Great Mosque between Safa and Marwah mounts, commemorating a search for water by Hajar, wife of the Prophet Abraham. Rituals also involve travelling to the valley of Arafat and standing in the open praising God, supplicating and meditating. This is followed by spending the night in Muzdalifa. In the morning, pilgrims head towards Mina and start the first in a series of throwing stones at pillars symbolizing the devil. The pillars stand at three points where Satan is believed to have tried to tempt the Prophet Abraham. Pilgrims also sacrifice an animal to commemorate the incident when the Prophet Abraham was about to sacrifice his son for the sake of God and God accepted a sheep instead. Pilgrims then shave their heads or cut some parts of it. They should return to the Great Mosque at Mecca for further rituals either before or after they complete their stay and stoning the devils in Mina. At the end of it all, pilgrims hope that God accepts their Hajj. Hajj rituals are performed at different locations but the kaaba stands out. It is the holiest place on earth. You can feel the energy here.

When everybody was asleep... Después de años de espera para que le llegue su turno para ir a la casa de Dios (la Meca) le llegará una carta a Bibi Salime, una anciana muy cariñosa y muy querida, diciendo que no puede viajar porque no está bien de salud. Todo el pueblo se pone muy triste y nadie quiere decirle que no podrá viajar por lo que unos chicos del pueblo deciden llevarla por su cuenta a la Meca. http://www.hispantv.com http://www.facebook.com/Hispantv http://plus.google.com/+hispantv http://twitter.com/Hispantv http://hispantv.com/​Frequencies.aspx

It is a documentary about Destruction of Baqi, Aal e Saud and the West. It is in Urdu with English subtitles. This is an analysis of the political scenario of Hijaz. It discusses how the Aal e Saud captured the throne. The British sought help from two tribes one Saud from Najd, and the other, family of Sharif Husain of Macca. The well-known spy T.E.Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia was in charge of the Sharif Husain\'s family, and Captain William for Alsaud. Because they did not want to fight within Mecca and Medina with the muslims as this could ignite the flames of hatred in the Indian sub-continent and in all of the Muslim world. Al-saud belonged to Najd in Hijaz and were trying to capture the throne of Hijaz for the last 225 years. In 1790, they occupied Makkah Medina and Taif. In 1801, Abdul Aziz Alsaud attacked Karbala and Najaf in Iraq. 15000 were martyred in Karbala and 5000 to 15000 in Najaf by AlSaud. Besides they looted many valuables from both the cities. AlSaud also banned Haj for one year for the muslims from the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Mehmood-II sent an army under the command of Ibrahim Pasha in 1818 A.D who destroyed Darayya which was the capital of wahabi looters. The final shutdown of the Ottoman empire was in 1918 with the help of these two tribes. Sharif Hussain was exiled in Cyprus and his four sons were given the rulerships of Iraq, Syria and Jordan.
