However, on another note, (I am not in a state of Ihram) I wonder what kind of muslims take advantage of other mulsims. My mother and father are on Umrah and Hajj and booked through a UK Luton company called Go4Hajj and Umrah Tours – or something like that.

My folks paid £8,400 for the pair for a 3 week Umrah and Hajj package as they are getting on a bit and we (the children) wanted them to be comfortable as possible in the heat of Madinah and Mecca.

I was flabbergasted to find out that that the tour company have reneged on everything they promised to the 100 or so pilgrims. They were promised good hotels and instead they end up in bad hotels with broken AC and have to share with others. Whilst the pigrims are in a state of Ihram and dont want to have heated exchanged with this company, I am preparing for an eye for an eye on this one. After the pilgrims get back I am going to make it my life’s dedication to highlighting people and companies that take advantage of muslims and especially pilgrims such as this tour company.

It is amazing that people can con a pilgrim. My heart really cries for human kind and muslims on this.

I hope that the above sister’s pilgrimage goes smoothly.

Muslim.
