other journeys of the world. After reaching the boundaries of Haram, he should be busy all the time with worship and recitation of the Holy Quran and should perform good deeds abundantly because the reward for one good deed is equal to the reward of 100,000 good deeds in Makkah Mukarramah.

Sayyiduna Hasan Basri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated: The Sawm of one day in Makkah Mukarramah is equal to the Siyam of 100,000 days. To give Sadaqah of one dirham is equal to the Sadaqah of 100,000 dirhams. Similarly, every good deed is equal to 100,000 good deeds. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 1, pp. 734)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you observed! One good deed in Makkah Mukarramah is equal to 100,000 good deeds. Surely it is pleasing, but it should also be kept in mind that the sin committed over there is also equal to 100,000 sins. Therefore the fortunate person, who is blessed with the visit of these sacred places, should be extremely careful so that he may not commit any sin knowingly or unknowingly. Alas! Some unwise people are found committing sins without any hesitation, regardless of the respect and reverence of these sacred places. They do not abstain from the sins like unlawful gaze, lie, backbiting, tale-telling, breaking of promise, hurting the feeling of Muslims without any Shar’i reason, etc.

Alas! If we tell one lie in sacred Haram, hurt only one Muslim’s feelings without any Shar’i reason, commit the sin of backbiting or tale-telling only once, so it means we have committed these sins 100,000 times each at any other place, اَلْاَمَان وَالْحَفِیْظ. For the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Wake up and perform many good deeds during the Hajj and make Du’as for the acceptance of your Hajj. Practise and try your best to stay away from useless activities. Some people, who are in the bad habit of using mobile phone all the time, do not refrain from its use and inform their fans about the condition of every moment through social media.
