The Chief Imam of Area 10 Mosque, Abuja, Sheikh Yahya Al-Yolawi, on Friday reportedly advised intending pilgrims to settle their debts and leave their wills behind before travelling to Saudi Arabia.
The Abuja-based Islamic scholar, while delivering Jumma’at sermon titled ‘Essential tips for Hajj Preparations’, said the need to leave a will behind was because the journey to Holy land may be the final journey for some pilgrims.
He explained that it was an invitation from Allah to the most famous acts of worship, adding that hajj was a unique and extra ordinary journey in the life time of all pilgrims.
Al-Yolawi said, “An intending pilgrim should settle his debts and leave behind him a clear record as well as writing all his wills or what he intends to pass to his family.
“Journey to hajj requires high level of patience, because it was always accompanied with difficulties ranging from fatigue to physical and social abnormalities as well as intolerance from other pilgrims.
“One should not allow Shaitan (devil) to hijack him and spoil his hajj out of ignorance or annoyance. This emphasises on the importance of piety as first ingredient of one’s journey to Mecca, which means to maintain good relationship with your Lord by devoting yourself to obey him.”
According to the cleric, the intention behind one’s journey to hajj must be for the sake of Allah alone as, whoever, performs any act of worship in order to please people or gain popularity has done wrong.
While admonishing pilgrims that they should ensure that their sources of income are clean and legitimate as that would please Allah, the cleric said, “Prophets Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: learn your rituals from me, for I do not know whether I would be performing Hajj after this Hajj of mine,” (Muslim Hadith no 1297).”
On taking photographs, Al-Yolawi warned that it was wrong to take photographs for whatever purpose while observing hajj rites, saying that such action could contradict pilgrims’ sincerity of performing hajj for the sake of Allah.
He, however, prayed to Allah to continue to protect Islam and safeguard Nigerian pilgrims as they take off to Saudi Arabia, saying, “May the Lord accept their Hajj, prayers, grant their supplications and bring them back to us in peace and safety.”
Ran when they say that name cos they ready to blow the bomb……… Ray Kachi pls run
Islam in what way? Dude get life and stop being a brainwashed fool
Just a cheap way of downgrading Islam
Then I still don’t understand the rationale behind this headline. This is absurd. The imam was even giving a good advice to them, such that even we Christians can work with it. For those who don’t read, pls read:

There’ something I think I understand about religion. The same way Christians believe in GOD & in His words.., is the same way Muslims also believe in Allah & His words. No 1 can tell who is going to Heaven or not. You can’t tell me all Muslim will find their selves in hell…cos I have spent time with them & most of them are really nice people. Christians if You were born into Islamic family, I bet u’ll also believe in Allah & be against God’s word. Same thing applies to the Muslim. So, which ever God u’re serving, serve him well, live a righteous & Holy life…& don’t argue with any religion. God bless you!
Dats where u make the mistake because tbis isn’t real kaaba that’s in mecce
We all gonna die , it doesn’t matter who goes first young , old , rich or poor , may their souls rest in peace
PLEASE respect ur selves n ur religion. ur faith lies in ur heart b it muslim or christain has nothing 2 do with Heaven how u worship, blieve, faith in Almighty God matters alot dont comit more sins by judging. nver 4get judge no 1 so as nt 2 b judge
WHY I CONVERTED TO ISLAM – Emmanuel Adebayor
I GOT 13 VALID REASONS WHY AND HOW MUSLIMS ARE LIKE JESUS ( PBUH ) AND TRUER FOLLOWERS OF JESUS THAN MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE :
1. Jesus ( Pbuh ) taught that there is only One God and Only God should be worshipped as taught in
Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29. Muslims also believe this as taught in the Qur’an verse 4:171.
2. Jesus ( Pbuh ) didn’t eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , and neither do Muslims as taught
in the Qur’an verse 6:145.
3. Jesus ( Pbuh ) greeted with the words “as salaamu alaikum” ( Peace be with you ) in John 20:21. Muslims also greet each other this way.
4. Jesus ( Pbuh ) always said “God Willing” ( Inshallah ), Muslims say this too before doing anything as taught in the Qur’an verses 18:23-24.
5. Jesus ( Pbuh ) washed his face, hands, and feet before praying. The Muslims do the same.
6. Jesus ( Pbuh ) and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their head to the ground ( See Matthew 26:39 ). Muslims do too as taught in the Qur’an verse 3:43.
7. Jesus ( Pbuh ) had a beard and wore a throbe. It is Sunnah for Muslim men to do the same.
8. Jesus ( Pbuh ) followed the law and believed in all the prophets,
( see Matthew 5:17 ). Muslims do
too as taught in the Qur’an verses 3:84, and 2:285.
9. Jesus’ mother Maryam ( Pbut ) dressed modestly by fully covering her body and wearing a headscarf ( hijab ) as found in 1 Timothy 2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and Corinthians 11:6. Muslim
women modestly dress the same as taught in the Qur’an verse 33:59.
10. Jesus ( Pbuh ) and other prophets of the Bible fasted up to 40 days (see Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings 19:8, and Matthew 4:1-Muslims do so also during the month of Ramadan.
Muslims are required to fast the full obligatory 30 days ( See Qur’an 2:183 ), and others take it a step further by fasting an additional 6 days to increase their rewards.
11. Jesus ( Pbuh ) taught to say “Peace to this house” when entering it
( See Luke 10:5 ), and to also greet the people in the house with “peace be unto you”. Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and taught. When we enter our homes and the homes of others we say “Bismillah” and also greet with “as salaamu alaikum” ( Peace be upon you ) as taught in the Qur’an verse 24:61.
12. Jesus ( Pbuh ) was circumcised. Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in Islam, so Muslim men are required to be circumcised. According to the Bible in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old when he was circumcised. In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the Prophet Abraham ( Pbuh ) that it is an
“Everlasting covenant”
( See Genesis 17:13 ). In the Qur’an verse 16:123 Muslims are required to
follow the religion of Abraham. The Prophet Muhammad ( SWS ) said, “The Prophet Abraham circumcised himself when he was eighty years old.”
( See Sahih hadith Bukhari, Muslim, and
Ahmad ).
13. Jesus ( Pbuh ) spoke aramaic and called God”Elah”, which is pronounced the same as
“Allah”. Aramaic is an ancient, Biblical language. It is one of the Semitic languages that also include Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian language of Akkadian.
The Aramaic”Elah” and the Arabic “Allah” are the same.
The Aramaic “Elah” is derived from the Arabic “Allah”, and it means “GOD”. “Allah” in Arabic also means”GOD”, the Supreme GOD Almighty. You can easilysee the similarity in their pronunciation so this concludes that the God of Jesus is also the God of the Muslims, of all mankind, and all that exist.
Now tell me who is the real follower of jesus ( Pbuh ) ? Obviously Muslims. Now I believe am a true follower of Jesus PBUH

In islam ure ask to write your will while travelling including hajj.
Lol I love d imam though d consensual meaning is what people don’t really understand is simply telling u to prepare dat u don’t no if u will come back from holy land,but who are dox killing people in dat land alah or devil
Since when did you people start keeping cool??
Hmmm Islam I don’t have time for you people
You are right my sister but Muslims use to kill why is like that?
Ur brain is on leave
The moment you realized that the name Christianity is not in the Bible. My man you are lost!!
The moment you realized that the name Christianity is not in the Bible. My man you are lost!!
The moment you realized that the name Christianity is not in the Bible. My man you are lost!!……. Jesus was never a Christian!
Prince pls do u have a old Testament Bible, am sure u don’t Cos if u want to talk about Bible that’s the only Bible I believe dat say the truth. The old Testament even talk about the prophet (saw) but none of nowadays church hold it again, may God guide us well
You are right sis
Both Muslims and Christians are killers in dis world no one is perfect . God have mercy on us. Allah have mercy on us ?☝
Let them talk I ready to die 1000s times if I could be their 4 once even if it was in my dream
Strong Imaan…allahu akbar
@ Annas..who told you that Jesus did not die?
What do we mean by Christianity?…and Jesus never said he is muslim rather.
Daud what is christianity?
Kemisola let me ask u a Q. Wot exactly is d Muslims problem wt xtian. One u will hide ur Quran for xtian nt to see n claim dat its too holy to touch n u pple r nt too sinful to touch d bible. Do u even read ur Quran as xtian read dia bible. Pls tell me where is it in d bible dat talk abt Mohammed. Dat book of Deut. 18: 15 u Muslims always refer to its better u go n read it properly n see wot God is telling Moses. Dis r one of d lies dat Mohammed handed over to u Muslims n non of u r make it a duty to find out. Dd u nt read it in ur Quran dat d angel told Mohammed if he didn’t understand wot is been send to him dat he shld go n ask d pple of Torah n injel. So u don’t use Quran to confirm d bible, it is d bible to confirm d Quran. So like wot u r saying u don’t believe d newtestament if ur Quran could make Mohammed to believe both d Torah n injel which is old n new testament den u r u to say u don’t believe. If u want to ve a meaningful argument go n read ur Quran very well
What a load
That was Jesus Christ talking to his disciples na what has that got to do with going to Mecca
Once again if u want any meaningful n resourceful argument read ur book Quran properly n by urself u will see d mistakes many of u r making. If u say u don’t believe in new testament, r u aware dat ur book Quran says JESUS Christ will desend from heaven n which will mark d end of d world. And dis is one of d major collective preaching dat is contained in new testament dat u don’t believe. Ur trial to destroy d bible is to pull down ur Islam faith, bc mostly things dat were contained in d Quran were copied frm d bible
They know nothing.
For lack of knowledge my people are perishing.
Don’t get insulted, but is your job devoted to spreading ignorance? Google the word Islam and you will see the meaning
What a religion
The worst thing to happen to humanity is Islam. Muslim has killed more human being than all the diesesse combined I guess is the global best birth control mechanism
U so called Muslims turn to jesus christ else u will endup to hell
Love Jesus Christ
Prince Ademola Adeniyi, who hid Quran for u? U can download an English version of Qur’an on ur phone or Google what you think it looks or sounds ambiguous to u. There’s nothing hiding in Islam.
Yes… killing is nt the only sin. Fornication & so many other things. Christians also find themselves doing it
I pray for my muslim Faithfuls counterparts wantx to undertake dis spiritual journey. We all know dat death is inevitable bt dying untimely is most disturbing…. Be Watchful of terrorist attacks…. My prayers are with you… God bless ur going out nd your coming back….
Can u find Christianity in ur Bible? Or the word Bible inside the Bible. Bible simply mean Book in Greek work. May Allah help u
Hitler has kill six million Jews no body acuse Christians ,my dear find some else to say . Islam means peace
Hitler kill six million Jews ,Did Muslim acuse Christianity? Jolouse and hate disturb the mind of non Muslim. Because Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet.
Ignorance disturb the Christian faith. Hitler kill six million Jews ,Did Muslim acuse Christianity?
Islam means pieces. This is hand works of Islamic worshippers invaded my Igbo Land , killing and butchered people shouting Allah Akbar.
You all are doomed,,,,,well who have ear let him hear, says the Lord
Prince pls i dont like dragging issue about religion on social media, mind u, you in no place to tell me am making a mistake about my religion. If your mind is being tortured by ur religion that’s between you and your creator buh u can’t judge me and I can’t do the same to u. Am not a religion tout. All I know is that I serve my Allah. Shikena
