    MOH Saudi Arabia is requested to OPEN DOORS for Umrah/Hajj pilgrims. By Allah's blessings Saudi Arabia has the ability to tackle COVID Pandemic by urging people to follow SOPS during their stay. People come to seek mercy, forgiveness and health in Holy Makkah & Madinah.
    I REQUEST HIS HIGHNESS MUHAMMAD BIN SALMAN to please rely on ALLAH'S mercy and once again restore UMRAH operations till end of Ramadan. Jazaa Kallah Khaira.

    Mr Bone saws Mbs and henchmen are now taking over the Allah Ta’ala's job of choosing the Hujjaaj. Now a bid'ah has been included in the Faraaidh of Haj. Convid Vax. Don't stress. Soon the saud self imposed monarchy will be no more. Their zulm will have to come to an end". Pharoah thought he was Allah, eventually died and after his death he is still despised.

    So now they are playing the role of Allah?

    Allah has promised safety when visiting His house (the Masaajid). Surely He will make arrangements for the protection of all who come to Baitullah?

    While it is advisable to take precautions (masks and NOT the satanic social distancing measures currently being practised the world over) the Haraam vaccinations should not even be given any thought to.
