What you write Honeycomb makes so much sense. It IS understandable that not all pilgrims can come at one time. Alhamdulillah we are sooooo many .
Wassalaam,
To cater for the increasing numbers of hajjis, why do the Saudis not knock down the near-by hotels and re-build them further away so more pilgrims can be catered for?
I feel the Saudis "bend over backwards" at time of hajj so they can make the ummah realise that they are the custodians of the two masjids, even though they bought blood to the 2 masajids!

Brother Deen, that is what they are already doing, there are are 2 projects that they started to market for them and i think they started building this one I remember its name the other I don't recall it
Tower of Zamzam
http://www.zamzamtower.com/ar/
http://www.makkah-development.gov.sa/hcm.../2-3-1.htm
The above need translation
As u see they started and any one can buy this from any nationality for a certain period of time in a year benefiting from it up to 25 years. So they are working on it and dont forget that doing such a thing will take a lot of effort and time and money. We must be patient, and if we did not benifit form it Insha'Allah the next generation will
There is the english site for those who don't speak arabic

that is what I was trying to tell Rehmat but as usual he took the conversation to another aspect of not allowing Khutbas calling for Jihad, it seems that he/she likes just to raise points in disagreement. I wonder if he /she ever attended a Khubta at any of the sacred masjeds. I tried looking for links to khutbas of many in which Sobhan Allah the Imams used to get very hot to the limit of openly cursing Jews and other aggressors against Muslims every where. Then thought to just get out of the argument in the name of Allah
The khutbas in Mekka and Madinah always talk about Jihad, maybe he/she does not
understand Arabic .
