And I ask for prayers from the BTT Forum which I respect so that my mother's dream of performing the Hajj can come true.
I am religious but I don't see visiting the so-called Holy Land as something paramount to me. When the government of my country allocate millions of dollars to sponsor these pilgrimages, I see it as a waste of funds. The money could be used to engage in development programmes in the country. For me, I don't think I will ever save because I want to engage in religious obligations like pilgrimage. I would prefer to give the money to charity than to go for such an adventure.
As long as you are a muslim, it is always their dream to go to Mecca to see the holy land, and I am on support of it, as long as that is their tradition. I have a lot of people down here that goes to Haji, and when they come back, they will become and Alhaji, or Alhaja, with golden tooth. I have always wonder how that place will be during such event. One man food is another man poison, and this is why sacrificing for a religious trip is something I admire a lot. I just hope that OP, will be able to use the planned amount to accumulate bitcoin consistently, so that in ten years time, his mom can accomplish her heart desire.
