Arafat at daytime during Hajj 2006

Here is some footage from Hajj that was posted yesterday on Google Video. There's no description besides the title, and the video is in Arabic.

But look carefully, and use the slider to advance the video to scenes of the Hajjis.

You'll notice that the plain of Arafat is teeming with Muslims, alhamdolillah.

And you'll notice that the Ihram, the garb of the Hajji, obliterates the markings of wealth or family status. Every Hajji is an equal to every other Hajji because each has made the journey for the sake of Allah subhanahu wata ala.

Indeed when we leave this life, nothing will distinguish one man from another save his deeds. And no man will be better than another except by the balance of his good deeds over his bad. And no one will enter Paradise, no one at all, except by the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wata ala.

Alhamdolillah, all praise is for Allah. May He accept the Hajj of every Hajji. May He Guide all of us and you to the straight path, the path of those with whom He is pleased.
