AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR HUJJAJ-E-IKRAM FOR USE OF MOBILE PHONE (CELLULAR) IN AL-HARAM AL-SHARIF’S
Respectable Umrah Pilgrims
As’Salâm Alaikum Wa’Rahmatullâhi Wa’Barakâtuh
By the grace of Almighty Allah you shall soon be traveling for performing Umrah. Surely you shall take care of the sacredness of Harmain Shareefain ( Makkah Al Mukarama and Madina Al Munawara). In this regard we request you to remove Musical Ring Tones from your mobile (Cellular) phones before departure and during Umrah try to keep your mobile phones on Vibrators/Silent. By this you shall be avoiding any disturbance to your worship as well as to the worships of other pilgrims and furthermore the sacredness of Harmain Shareefain shall not be harmed. We hope that you shall put heed to this request and shall convey this message to other pilgrims as well. May Allah Subhanawatallah accept your Umrah. Ameen
Was’Salâm Alaikum
May Allah Subhanawatallah will give you the best reward for this
