Some Kano State pilgrims in Madina on Saturday praised Gov. Abba Yusuf for arranging decent accommodation for them near the Prophet’s Mosque in Madina.
Alhaji Mohammad Shamsuddeen, a pilgrim from Gwale Local Government Area (LGA), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Madina that the governor’s efforts made a significant difference.
He said this was particularly evident in healthcare, with stationary and mobile clinics providing medical care for the pilgrims.
He said that the pilgrims would observe all the Hajj rituals without any form of stress.
“We’re pleased with the state government’s arrangement for decent accommodation very close to the Prophet’s Mosque,” he said.
Alhaji Ado Isa from Gwale LGA lauded the state government for providing decent meals for the pilgrims, saying: “I’m pleased the state government is identifying with us, enabling us to observe the Hajj rituals without stress.”
He said that the state government had provided decent accommodation with excellent facilities and well-trained scholars to guide the pilgrims.
Alhaji Bashir Disu praised Yusuf, saying he had made significant difference by ensuring a stress-free and peaceful Hajj experience.
He prayed for the governor’s success and the continued prosperity for his administration.
The Kano pilgrims’ satisfaction with the accommodation arrangements highlights the importance of logistics support for pilgrims during the Hajj pilgrimage.
“The provision of proper accommodation and other facilities can significantly enhance the spiritual experience of pilgrims.
“This allows them to focus on their religious duties without undue stress or discomfort,” said Hajiya Hauwa Ibrahim.
The state’s provision of decent accommodation for the pilgrims demonstrates its commitment to supporting its citizens during this significant religious event.
NAN spotted pilgrims from Kano State praying at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madina.
The Prophet’s Mosque is considered the second holiest place in Islam after the Kaaba in Mecca with millions of Muslims visiting it every year to pray and pay their respects.
Praying in that mosque is believed to be highly rewarding, with some Islamic scholars stating that one prayer here is equivalent to 1,000 prayers elsewhere, except for the Sacred Mosque in Mecca.
NAN reports that the 540 pilgrims, who arrived in six flights, were in perfect health conditions and were also spotted visiting other historical sites in Madina. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
