ISLAMABAD: Around three million Muslims from all over the globe Thursday performed the Haj, one of the most sacred and cherished religious obligations, in the prescient of the Holy Kaaba at Makkah-tul-Mukarma, Saudi Arabia.
They converged in Makkah in a dignified manner by wearing “Ahram”, reciting the praises of Allah Almighty and offering various supplications to Him with their hands raised, in accordance with the practice of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Local and international TV channels telecast live Haj transmission from Makkah, covering Manasik-e-Haj including Waqoof-e-Arafat, Khutba-e-Haj and prayers of Zuhar and Asr. Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh delivered the Haj sermon from Masjid-e-Nimra. In his address, the Mufti praised the oneness of Allah Almighty and highlighted various aspects of life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
The Mufti said the current situation of the Islamic world could be changed only if the Ummah gets a sincere and pious ruler. He urged the Ummah to follow true teachings of Islam and footsteps of the last Messenger of God to achieve success in the world and hereafter.
He said Muslim Ummah is facing a number of challenges and enemies of Islam are hatching conspiracies against our religion to defame its followers in the world. The Grand Mufti said Islam is the religion of peace, harmony and brotherhood and it has nothing to do with terrorism and extremism. He underlined the need of greater unity among Muslims to tackle the challenges confronted by Ummah.
