Medina (Saudi Arabia) – The Gombe State Pilgrims in Saudi Arabia have been urged to pray for the state and Nigeria in particular during their pilgrimage.
Some Islamic Scholars under the Amrul-Hajj team made the call at the reorientation of the pilgrims in Medina on Thursday.
Sheik Hamza Abdulhamid advised them to abide strictly by the rules by intensifying prayers for their parents, families and all other needs while on pilgrimage.
According to Abdulhamid, such prayer will be accepted by God.
Abdulhamid also advised the pilgrims to guard their Basic Travelling Allowance because it was one of the basic things that would assist them to make a successful hajj.
He called on the pilgrims to take much of ZamZam water, with good intention, stressing that it cured all diseases, among other advantages.[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”70560″]
Another scholar, Sheik Adamu Dokoro, advised the pilgrims to always exercise patience with one another while carrying out their hajj activities.
Dokoro said the reward of accepted hajj was paradise, pointing out that all sins would be forgiven like a new baby coming into the world.
The Coordinator State Pilgrims Board, Malam Adamu Muhammad, told the pilgrims that each prayer was equivalent to 1,000 prayers in mosque.
He, therefore, enjoyed the pilgrims to intensify effort toward achieving more rewards through constant prayer. (NAN)
