  • Your mother was beautiful! They looked like such a happy couple. Condolences to all who loved them.

    Imagine paying $22000 and being left out in 120 degree heat to die! I hope this lady exposes this so called "travel agency" so they don't continue to do this in the years to come.

    So sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking news. May Allah grant them jannat ul firdaus and give you and your family sabr

    Reminds me of Carousel in Logan's Run. I think the moral of the story is at the end of the day, you're ultimately responsible for yourself. There's a point where you decide to do, or not do... and you have to consider the consequences of risk vs reward.

    Condolences to our sister and may Allah grant them jannahul firdows as they died on a blessed land in a blessed month and I pray Saudi Arabia changes its ways of handling the hajj and hoping this is not something planned for the pilgrims which is for people to even make hajj anymore 😢

    Whoever this travel agency was. They should definitely face the charges. It’s extremely important not to trust just any agency unless you know the reputation and past experiences of other people
