Saudi arrest of 'Hajj militants'

Saudi arrest of 'Hajj militants'
Hajj in Mecca
Between 2.5 million and 3 million people attended this year's Hajj
Saudi Arabia says it has arrested a group of men suspected of planning attacks on holy sites during the just concluded Hajj pilgrimage.

Few details were released but the sites in Mecca were not thought to be among the targets.

The men were arrested in several cities ahead of the Hajj season, sources said.

The Hajj has a history of disasters but this year had no major incidents. Every Muslim able to do so is expected to attend the Hajj once in their life.

Stampedes

Saudi interior ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki told the Associated Press news agency: "Security forces have foiled a plot to carry out a terror attack on holy sites outside Mecca.

"The group was arrested three days before the Hajj season."

Mr Turki called the suspects a "deviant group" - a term authorities often use to describe al-Qaeda.

Between 2.5 million and three million people attended this year's Hajj, which wound up on Friday.

One of the key participants was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The Hajj has suffered a number of disasters, many from stampedes during the "stoning the devil" ritual.

At least 345 pilgrims were crushed last year and 251 in 2004.

Bismillah ir rahman ir raheem
asalamualikum warahma tullahi wabaraka tuhu noble brother/sister

I hope our message reaches you while you are upon the best state of health and emaan in this blessed month of Ramadan, in which it is encouraged that we engage in daw'ah to Allah as much as we can. And what could be the easiest way to do act of calling to Allah than just posting a blog or sending an email. We are not intending to SHAM in HERE by posting COMMENTS... but..

We at albaseerah.org would like to request you to help us spread this message of our Hajj 2010 by posting this link's blog:

*** http://albaseerahorg.multiply.com/journal/item/126/_Finally_Huge_Discount_till_Aug_30-_Save_600.00_-_Hajj_2010_Starting_at_4799.00 ***

to your blog[s] and also by posting to your group[s]/contact list. And indeed your reward is with Allah and you can anticipate the huge reward based on the below hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam who didn't speak from his desire rather by the command of Allah.

It comes in Muslim (1017) from the hadeeth of Jarir bin ‘Abdillah -may Allah be pleased with him- that the Prophet -sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam- said: Whoever introduces a good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he will have the reward like the one who has done it, without their rewards being diminished in the least.*

And he has attained by this a mighty reward from Allah the Most High, for indeed he -sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam- has said: Verily if Allah guides by way of you one man it is better for you than the red camels. Bukhaari (3009) and Muslim (2406) [Taken from: Towdeeh al-Ahkaam min Bulooghil Maraam by Ash-Sheikh ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur Rahman Al-Bassaam.]


Therefore, we hope O sister/brother that you seeking the pleasure of Allah in this blessed month of Ramadan you will just simply copy paste above given link's blog post to your blogs and also send it to your groups and contact list as an act of worship seeking nearness to Allah. May Allah reward you with good in this Duniyah and In the Akhira for cooperating with us upon Birr - righteousness - and Taqwa - piety as Allah has ordained.

Jazakum Allahu khayran kathiran wa baaraka Allahu feekum fidduniyah wa filakhira
was-salamualikum warahma tullahiwabaraka tuhu
