Goa State Haj Committee (GSHC) vice chairman Abdul Rehman Khan told Herald that Hajis will board the first flight to Madina from Dabolim on Monday evening. “The committee has geared up to facilitate the departure from the state to the holy place. The flight will take off at 7pm from Dabolim international airport and proceed to Madina,” he said. Madina is the second holy place of Islam where the last prophet of Islam Mohammed S A S was asked to migrate. Muslim scholars say that He settled there and preached Islam although he had to face stiff opposition, and from Madina, Islam spread throughout Gulf and other parts of the globe. Khan said that Haj pilgrims have been asked to assemble at Masjid-e-Noor at Bogmado near the Airport terminus. “Most of the formalities will be completed here and Hajis will be provided will all travel documents and necessary instructions. While, on Saturday we have asked all Hajis to report at the GSHC office,” he informed. Haj is the biggest gathering of around 40 lakh followers of Islam from across the world. The vice chairman stated that Government of Saudi Arabia has made comprehensive arrangements for stay and performing rituals by Haj pilgrims. Haj Committee of India deputes around 1.25 lakh pilgrims and 45, 000 pilgrims perform Haj through private agencies. “In all, around 1.70 lakh Indian Haj pilgrims will be performing Haj this year,” Khan said. Haj is a five day pilgrim which is performed in and around Makkah. www.oheraldo.in www.sharon-shamazfilmsgoa.blogspot.com http://www.goarusha.com/ http://www.mangalorean.com/news.php?newstype=broadcast&broadcastid=203705 To contact us email [email protected] copying [email protected] also visit http://www.tambdimati.com http://www.graffitisys.com/ http://www.looxcie.com/ www.konkanifilmbook.com http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans
