YMA at Hajj 2008

 The YMA Marking its 5th Annual Hajj Trip, the YMA has taken part in the most spiritual journey of any human being. This Spiritual Journey is not only part of the Islamic faith, but a pilgrimage to Mecca that signifies one’s peek submission to Allah [swt].
The YMA, under the leadership guidance of Samahat Al-Seyyid Hassan Al-Qazwini, has taken groups of increasing numbers on this annual trip. The English speaking Imam leads the entire group (last year 53 joined) through the week long journey. His great knowledge of the Meccan geography and his love for the holy Prophet [as] and his progeny truly inspires English speaking Muslims of all ages.

The YMA is proud to be able to help those English speakers through this unforgettable and unimaginable experience of a lifetime. The YMA partners with a group who has granted access from the Saudi Government. Last year, the group stayed together in one building and had their private kitchen and prayer /lecture hall. The YMA took daily trips around the cities of Mecca and Medina and had a dedicated bus. The YMA was able to provide literature and logistical support to all whom went with them. The partner provided transportation, lodging and meals.

The YMA, under the leadership of the Imam, plans to continue this
event for the coming future. Along with the journey itself, the YMA
facilitates free Hajj courses, sponsors one Muslim to Hajj, and holds an annual Hajj celebration for the returning pilgrims.
