Camera usage in public in saudi is not allowed ..I dont know why ? may be the women picture
My purpose is to take pics so the people who never come here or cant come here can see the inside beauty of these holy places..I am also bit scared to use mobile camera there..but there are many person who are taking pics there even with the regular cameras ..
as time is passing by the saudi is gioing to more libral..I m sure police saw many guys there who are taking pics of haram itself and they didnt say anything..
Outside both haram there are people who are taking instant pics and sell them in 5/10 riyals..
Theres nothing wrong with taking pictures. I think saudis do it for security reasons, but the way they go about is totally lame. I mean they have a live camera showing the Haram, almost 24/7 on thier saudi channel, why would they be against cameras?
shahbax: Yeah, i'm sure they'd need the forgiveness after the amount of violence they show, on thier way to kiss the Holy Stone.
nahin yaara, its not da question of cryin coz ur a sissy…trust me, I used to run away from da thoughts of visiting their, but u wouldnt believe da circumstances I went in, & what I turned out to become…!
Da moment u enter Harram shareef, a fear of a larger magnitude takes ove u, coz ur in front of da Almighty Himself, where u can bow from any corner facing da Kaabah. Its not da kapkapi inside of u thats holdiong u back, is da primal fear of u returning back with da thought in mind that if u will be 4given or if u will continue to commit sins(no fingers pointed), Im not a good Muslim either, no1 is…if we were better, we would have unity, & with that we wouldnt have Afghanistan,Kashmir, Chechnya, Iraq, Bosnia, Uzbekistan…etc…!
Dude, Im not counselling u either, its just that I can understand u a lot better than other guppies around here & judging by da post, u really are honest…!
For all those who think that da muttawas dont allow cameras for security reasons, is bull…its coz taking pictures of ppl with da Haram has become more like a picnic for some folks, who forget their original intention of visiting there…They dont behave luke jaahils, they are humans too, imagine 20 million ppl visiting ur city for almost a month & millions travelling every year, 24 hours, with absolutely no break…have a lil logical reasoning ppl, they are performing duties, they have been ordered by higher authorities & there are ppl from every country, every city, every village u can imagine…& nobody is da same…!
Yes I will agree they are rude, but this should not deter u from visiting makkah, its da Almighty’s home…!
