London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan shares photo from his Hajj pilgrimage
Sir Sadiq Khan has travelled to Mecca for a "life-changing" Islamic pilgrimage.
The London Mayor shared videos and photos from the Middle East on his Instagram account where he told his 212K followers he was "truly honoured and blessed to have performed Hajj".
The annual Islamic pilgrimage sees as many as 1.7 million Muslims travel to Saudi Arabia from all over the world to visit the holiest city in the religion.
Making Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of the Islamic faith which requires all adult Muslims who are physically and financially able to make the journey to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. 🤲🤲🤲
Anyone giving away herb plants? I need rosemary, coriander, basil, chives, mint, etc my stores are useless.
Mukit, why you don't want to get married to someone else's ex-girlfriend?
Lemme answer this question that no haters asked me yet. Instead, they tried hard to make me feel down which is quite impossible. I understand, some of you struggle to think on straight line. So, I will try my best to keep the answer simple and easiest.
For example, I've changed my mind and become a so-called open minded man with the excuse of university degree. Simple logic, you are a university graduate, so, you must be open minded.
Yes, finally I become open minded. I met a girl either online or real life. After few days chat when both are compatible to each other, finally she revealed that she had haram relationship! How many? Let's be respectful, even in imagation. Let's think, she had only one boyfriend. That was quite serious relationship, for example 5 years long. During these five years they were very happy couple though it's haram. They used to live together, hangout, support each other, in a word perfect couple, they were just made for each other. At the end, either both side family didn't accept or they both lost interest on each other after five years of enjoyment. It happens naturally.
Since I am an open minded man, so, I replied, don't worry, past is past, forget it and let's create a beautiful future together. We got married. After marriage, she proved she is a perfect and good life partner. Everyday she tries her best to keep the family smooth and perfect. So, we are living together happily. Happy family.
One day, I and her decided to go out, having some shopping, and dinner at a lovely restaurant. Everything is going perfectly, no complain, no frustration, just happiness. While sitting together as happy love bird, suddenly out of nowhere a man approached to us with a little smile on his face. After getting closer he is like, what an unexpected surprise! Is that you, Sara (fake name)? The man is her ex-boyfriend.
She felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but she is smart, she got it back together and naturally said hi without making any scene. And in the next second she brought a boundary between her and her ex-boyfriend saying, meet my husband, pointing at me. Since I am an educated open minded man, we shoke hand and exchange few greetings happily with smile.
After few minutes of talk, he asked Sara, btw, can I have your new number please, I would like to discuss with you about something? She is a good wife now, she looked at me asking my permission.
What would I suppose to do in that situation-
should I allow her to give her number to her ex-boyfriend?
Or
should I forbid her?
If I allow her, don't you think it will be, oh you are not feeling jealous at all, that means you don't love your wife, means you have another secret girl. Or, If don't allow her, don't you think it will be like, oh you are a ridiculous narrow minded, you have no respect for woman, you doubt your wife, your an oppressor, dominating husband, you are treating your wife as slave.
Okay fine, since I am an open minded educated man, I stopped thinking like other people, so I told her, yeah you can give him your number, at least once he was a special man for you. They exchanged number and smiled to each other and he left.
After few days, my wife asked me to go out alone that her ex-boyfriend invited her at coffee shop to discuss something privately.
Questions: should I allow her?
If I allow her, you know how will I be like? Or if I don't allow then I will be tagged with hundred of negative adjectives.
Still I allowed her, she went out happily and came back with more happiness. And she told me, she is gonna meet him again next week to discuss something else.
Final question, do you really think the happy family I imagined at the beginning will exist anymore?
If I keep letting her to meet her ex-boyfriend then I will be the stupidest man ever in theworld. And if I don't allow her, then I will be a doubtful husband, narrow minded man, oppressor, dominating, ridiculous man bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla---------
No no no, I don't want such kind of drama in my life. I've already spent my 33 years life alone without having any embarrassing situation. So, if I die at the age of 63, since most Muslims wish to die at the age of 63 as our beloved Prophet PBUH left this world at the age of 63. If I take it as standard life limit for me, then I have just 30 years left, less than half of my life.
Then why would I get married to someone else's ex-girlfiend to ruin my rest of the life?
I spent 33 years alone and if I don't find a girl without haram relationship, then I will spend my rest of the life alone too. At least I will not have any regret when I die.
Just want to say something don’t judge me
First I’m 26 years old I’m student in uk
As I’m human being same like others 🤠 while I tried to approach anyone that I have crush or like someone not in negative sense
Point is they asked me this question which visa do you have 🤠
When I said student there behaviour changed suddenly 😁
In my work place I notice another thing especially our Dasi so called British 😁 they think they are better human being in this world and …they don’t like Asian especially immigrants not everyone this point of view that I notice in my circle
Ok move to next point
So as I said I’m human being same like other normal people if I like someone I tried to approach they reject me straight away after this question are you student 🤠
So it’s mean if I like someone I need another visa to tell her my feelings I’m 26 years old boy like other I can like someone and I have feelings as well
Don’t do this ladies 😁
