Re: Hajj and your kids.
i agree ..a lot of my friends have been abroad ..tours to europe , US even middle east in dubai n sharjah but none of them have ever been to KSA for umrah or hajj..that is a shame. when one is well settled with the kids doing well and no financial constraints the first priority should be to go for umrah or hajj.
ive been to lots of place since i was young but the experience of umrah in makkah and the stay in madinah .i have no words to describe the beauty of everything :) and only those who have been there and have their souls revitalised with imaan can tell what i am talkin about haina niksik
n best of luck with the kids. you have decided totally the right way n i hope you do take them for Hajj or Umrah (Inshallah) because that would be totally a wonderful experience on its own :)
