| AAwRwB, I believe there is a hadith that says something to the effect that Muhammad (saws) stated that performing Umrah during Ramadan is like performing Hajj with him (saws). Does this mean performing Umrah during Ramadan fulfills our Hajj obligation? Considering this year's tragedy, I was thinking it would probably be a good thing if some of us could fulfill our Hajj obligation in this way (i.e., performing Umrah during Ramadan). Wassalam. |

| wlm daud, it would be nice if it did ;) cause that's what i performed this year.. umrah during ramadan. inshallah it will be accepted. but umrah no matter when does not fulfill the obligation of hajj. the hajj is meant to be at one time together. it wouldn't be the same if it was many times during the year. umrah however does give you alot of the reward. i do not think we should be daunted by this year's tragedy, it is sad but what an excellent way to die.. in makkah on the hajj and you entire paradise free of any sins. those ppl could have died at home in a car accident, or earthquake or heart attack or anything else but their time was up and they were given the best death possible. may Allah allow us to die in such a way as well. ameen. |

| Reading this reminded me of this thread: [color=purple] "I am amazed at your state. The skies are irradiant because of you, but you have ceased to be. How long will you lead a life of ignorance and degradation? It was from you that the world received its mental and spiritual illumination. You served as a minaret of light during the dark night of the past. The 'luminous hand' (of Moses) was present in your sleeve. But, today, you have shut yourself up in a narrow shell and seem to have forgotten that you can break it. You were present before the world was created and will remain after it has ended. You are afraid of death while death itself should be afraid of you. Death is not lying in wait for you but it is the other way round. Man does not die with the departing of the soul. he dies when faith goes out of him and belief deserts his heart." The world you see, but Selfhood you can't, How long in your ignorance will you sit? With your ancient flame illumine the night, The hand of Moses is sleeved in you. Set forth your foot from the circling skies; Greater and older than these you are; You fear death, O imperishable man! Death is but a prey that before you lies. Life once given, none can take; It is for lack of faith men swoon and die; Learn to be a sculptor, even as I, And haply anew your Selfhood make. -Iqbal |

| Assalaamu alaikum, Jannah from which book did you get this from? The poem appears to be secrets of the self. I have a translation of the poem but it doesn't have the description/narrative. |
