  6. May Allah grant them paradise. There is no place better on earth to die than the blessed cities of Makkah and Medina. Millions of people would pray at your Janazah asking Allah to forgive you of your sins & certainly one of them would be a beloved person to Allah. Look at the picture above, those white dots on the ground and the roof top are human beings. A place where you have about 4million people both young and aged it's natural some of them would die. What is most important is that may our soul meet its creator in a blissful way.

    2. Jesus is the only way the truth and life! No matter how many people pray if they have no relationship with JESUS sorry they will face judgement. Mind you, there is nothing like muhammad. That guy will face judgement and give account of the so many life he has misled and still misleading. Repent and make JESUS your Lord and ppersonal saviour now before it becomes late.

    3. You know I wonder what goes through people's minds. Are u people calling Jesus God or son of God? If he is God then who ruled the world while he was dead before resurrection or who ruled the world while he was in his mother's womb. If he is God then Joseph is the step father of God. Likewise if he is son of God that means God Mary married a mere man 'joseph' after God. My holy Quran and the old testament of the bible tells me Jesus is a prophet of God just like Adam, Moses, Muhammed, etc and we only worship one who has created us and not any prophet but we believe in all the prophets and their messages including Jesus (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (we believe in the book revealed to Jesus but not in the new testament, how can some men review the work of God. The Quran that was revealed by God over 1435 years ago is not, cannot and would never be reviewed by men because that is one of its miracles mentioned in the book itself. Even the evil Boko Haram & ISIS that claims to be Muslims do not say they have a revised book but they read the same Quran upside down or they dnt even know how to read it all as discovered recently by the Nigerian military) Jesus in all the bibles never claimed to be God. May God guide us all aright. And make us true followers of Jesus who would believe in one true God and who would follow the steps of Jesus and Mary in both actions and thoughts. Mary always wore her hijab and Jesus also kept his beards. The Quran in the verse named after Mary 'suratul Maryam' spoke about the miracles Jesus performed that were not even in the bible. Like how Jesus spoke in the cradle etc read and be enlightened.

  10. There is never a time Nigerians will go to pilgrimage to Saudi and come back without any record of death, am wondering if some people will intentionally went there to die so that they will be buried in medina.

    1. Possibly. 2008 when I went, there was a woman trying to put her head on hajral aswad and she was so squeezed so I try to free her, guess what she told me that she rather die than not to put her head. I simply leave her.

    1. Yes we agree because life is temporary and death is what takes us to the permanent abode. How prepared and u? U or myself might just be next. Why not worship your creator now when you have the chance. There is only one true God and u and I know it.
