Today in millions but only few with reverence for the holy place. Nowadays people do tawaf in mataf wearing their shoes, busy on video calls and selfies. May Allah guide us.Aameen.
If they had smart phones in 1920’s they would have done same things what we do these days. Still those who have issues. Go to Haram Shareef and ask for help. Allah is all forgiving
Not easy to perform Haj back in the old days especially when you have to travel from faraway lands such as Indonesia and Malaysia, but the rewards are greater insyaAllah for the pilgrims
slightly disagree. back then boats were metal at that point so you just slept in a room for a month or so and landed in jeddah. that's not super difficult compared to african brothers who had to travel across africa through egypt or through a port in east africa. i boat trip wouldn't cost a fortune either since one large boat could fit thousands of people
This video really helped me to figure out an inspiring story of how my grand grand father and grandfather performing the hajj in 1920s. The ship sailing from Surabaya to Jeddah took a month. We are proud of them. May Allah reward them with Jannah.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes this gives us some insight into what our ancestors went through. Comparing it with today. Please share on your whatsapp groups so that more people can appreciate.
Subhaan Allah. Today it's like a vacation in a five star hotel. May Allah accept their Hajj then and of those who are preparing for it Ameen. Excellent video.
In the past, Indonesian Muslims who were about to go to perform hajj held a big gathering to bid a goodbye with their loved ones, relatives, and neighbors. It's because the trip was utterly arduous, it takes months to go and back, to the point that they didn't even know they're going to be back to the homeland or not 😢 it was indeed a difficult time. Because of the huge amount of effort and sacrifices, people who did hajj was well-respected by the community, that afterwards their status will be increased and they will be regarded as an imam/a teacher. May Allah allow all of us to perform hajj in the best manner and be a true Muslim who earns paradise. Aameen
Amiin. If I may add the hajis were treated like that not only because they had been through a long hard journey but also because they learnt more about Islam during their travel and some extended the trip to study under scholars of the holy cities
Only few get to visit the place because it a long journey but now God has made it easier for us may Allah make us be among those that can visit His holy house 🤲
@@ghostbansurvivor6229God gave man the intellect to be able to create vehicles, they were also predicted in numerous ahadith. And everything happens through the wisdom and allowance of Allah therefore Allah made the journey shorter.
Please whoever is reading my comment please pray for me and my family we are going through a tough time Please please please.May Allah cure us😢😢😢😢 ameen
For those that were confused about the burial at sea, the journey by ship was over three weeks and the death was on the ship. In Islam, we bury our dead quickly, and if a person dies at sea and it is not possible to bring the body back to land before decay, or if burial at land becomes impossible, burial at sea is allowed.
Now imagine the trials tests and difficulties faced by our beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM and All the Prophet's (peace and blessings of ALLAH swt be upon them) and their companions (May ALLAH swt be pleased with them ) INCOMPARABLE and what they used to do Praising ALLAH ( S.W.T) . But we Muslim's huh what we do even if a small trial or test hits us . MAY ALLAH ( S.W.T) FORGIVE US.
Those were the days! - When it was a big chance that they may not come back. - When the journey itself was much longer than the Hajj pilgrimage. - When the term 'Hajji' meant so much more. Now we can just get a plane ticket. And the ride is now shorter than the Hajj itself. Not that it means any less at all now, but we should look at those in the past with awe.
Muslims in the past, especially in africa where maliki jurisprudence is widely followed, they had to start the voyage to Hajj if they can walk and move. That's it ! So poor ones just starts the trip even if they don't have any money. But they stop on the way to work a bit and earn some to spend it the days they were traveling. A lot will take them years to accomplish the Hajj. There are stories of families moving with kids to hajj and throughout the voyage kids became adults. May allah accept from them ameen.
ya allah, we have it so easy!!! all a muslim has to do is pray 5 times a day, fast ramadan, pay zakat if one is able, have good manners and go hajj if possible. (while ofc avoiding haram) wallahi its so easy! but our nafs and shaytan has made the haram seem beautiful... may allah forgive us all
It's ridiculous that the Black Africans shown just outside Jeddah (including the bare breasted woman on film) were labeled as "bedouins" when they were more likely slaves.
Thank you for sharing this video. How lucky are we today to get so many facilities like airplanes.. cars.. hotels with AC.. train... Thank God for your kind mercy... Bless all those Saudi people for investing in Mecca...
WoW moi mon grand-père avait offert à ma grand-mère le pèlerinage en 1963. Le voyage durait 1mois par bateau pour aller de Dakar(Sénégal🇸🇳) à l’Arabie saoudite🇸🇦 et elle avait confié ma mère qui avait 2ans à sa sœur. Ça fait du bien de voir des vidéos du hajj dans le passé, cela nous donne une idée de la chance qu’on a aujourd’hui d’effectuer le pèlerinage avec plus de facilité.
I teared to watch this video. Ya Rab, bless those who went for Haj in such a challenge. Even today it may look easy, but with the huge crowds and families, it is still a challenge. May Allah help all those planning for Haj. Pls Dua for me. Tks
In sha Allah we will all make hajj if only things were still this simple I'm 27 and would love to live in a time like this when people weren't stuck on their phones trying to get the best selfie etc. Not to mention the price that leaves most of us unable to even ever afford
you didnt watch the video right? currently going to hajj is the easiest ever been, in the past going to hajj meant probably leaving your life behind and probably never coming back. but yeah so hard..
You say this as if you can't do this now. Nothing is stopping you from not paying for planes or transport to mecca and making the journey on foot. And may Allah reward you for that.
They say that the Hajj is your personal 'fight' due to how difficult it can be. Makes you wonder what it was like before the 1920's! Nowadays it is more of a business with luxurious packages offered to those who can afford it, moving away from the original meaning for the Hajj. Personally, I think it should be the same for all, no matter how deep your pockets are.
0:55 Those are not Bedouins, they are African Pilgrims who settled in Mecca. They can’t afford to go back to Africa after fulfilling Hajj since they’ve spent all their savings. You will find many different ethnicities in Mecca and Jeddah to this day.
May الله grace the pilgrims of yesteryear with Haj Mabrur despite the huge hardship they endured the still made it to the Holy Makkah for the sake of الله.
MasyaAllah, may Allah reward all the people who have done hajj during this time greatly. And thank you for sharing this vid. I always wondered how the people tht had died on the ship were taken care of. Now i know😊
Today things became easier by the grace of Allah (swt) giving Hajj access to many who would not have been able to handle what past muslims physically handled. In general humans used to be tough and real like steel and now we are being flakes and tolerate no hardship.
Thanks a lot, please share with in your WhatsApp group so that others may also see what challenges their forefathers went through compared to today. JAK.
may allah reward them and hujaj today, some brothers in the comments are talking about today hujaj like they are sinful people. may allah reward KSA for their amazing work today making hajj easy with many help.
If I could I will love to do Hajj like them (1928). Nowadays everything is so luxury (especially the hotels, foods). Its like going for a short vacation.
It would be more respectful to edit and shield the sisters in the video.. please remove it, edit appropriately and reupload.. you wouldn’t do that to your family.. just because it was long ago they still deserve your respect
Wow just Beautiful a time machine to the Ottoman Empire How Beautiful its Look in the time. May Allah give`s rahma to the old person that dies in the video🤲
@@aaaaaaaaa3515 Yeah this is correct but what I mean is just the place and the look of the time from this video because a few years ago it was the ottoman empire.
Ottomans paid little to no attention to the two holy mosques while spending unprecedented amounts of resources to build eye-catching mosques and infrastructure for the western tourists in Istanbul
@@Oktay33_ Glad that they've lost control of it, they had little to no interest in it after the rise of global nationalism which inevitably led them toward secularism. It was also full of grave worshippers and had different sects praying in their designated area of the haram since no one knew the true mathab.
It's not just the journey but able to go itself is extremely hard because we were then occupied by the Dutch and Portuguese. I remember the Sultan of Aceh wrote to Usmani Turk, asking for help because the Dutch won't let our people going Hajj (the letter was said to be delivered to the hands of Sultan Abdul Hamid II right after he outright rejected Theodor Herzl appeal for land. He is the founder of Zionism).. The Turks responded and sent aid and put pressure on the Dutch on their trade. Thank goodness it worked and people were allowed to go again.
Masya allah tabarakallah. I just came back from the old port in Jeddah. Its Al Balad , the building looks the same and now Saudi is restoring the buildings. Everybody must go to AlBalad and have a feeling of the old times Haj
In my country, in the time of my great grandparents, afaik, every time someone go to pilgrimage to mecca for hajj. There will be a kind of thanksgiving party but in restrospect that the one going to mecca is considered "going home to his creator" since it would take minimum 6 month of journey to mecca, by sea

You must cover woman private parts in this video, or completely remove, you can blur video parts with youtube video editor for now without delete video and republish, please do it ASAP, thanks!
Dude the woman in the beginning showing her breast was unnecessary to the video. Along with the last man who died. Would like your last gusl to be shown to the whole world like that? Pls do something about this.
I remember my grandparents used to tell that people back then they went to perform hajj by boat then switching to ships and they would be back from hajj after 3 or 4 months later
@@TheWorld-of7ddthere is more to life than “ease”. The people had less, but were more fulfilled + didn’t have to deal with the BS we’re dealing with in this time (LGTV+, constant distraction, etc)
@@Adeltaarabt17 Ottomans had just fallen, Muslim lands were under colonization, and Muslims would join ww2 few years later on both sides. One side alongside their colonizers for the promise of a free land and other Muslims against colonizers to push them out of their lands. It was not an easy time.
The same story all over far & wide our parents would tell us about relatives going from Bangladesh they would fare families goodbye not guaranteeing their return may all off their hard efforts be accepted Ameen Ya Rab
People did hajj back in them days and was certified as Haji that was like a tremendous accomplishment and achievement. Nowadays haji doesn’t mean the same. Firstly the effort they had to endure was tremendous,for that reason alone hajj was no joke ,people meant it and went back sinless and died as haji on the gravestone 😢 My Allah will give them that the lofty place in Janna,Ameen
Assalamualaikum. Thanks for sharing this. I made Hajj in 1997. The area around the Haram, has been built-up (e.g. giant clock tower, huge shopping malls, etc. ). I hope to make Hajj again, before I die, insha'Allah!🤲🏽❤️☝🏽🕋
Masya Allah.. Allahu Akbar! Those who go haj are truly blessed; and in the past, their efforts and sacrifices were even greater. Btw, I saw at least one Indonesian man in the ship where the deceased was taken care of. It is because of his 'kopiah' or Indonesian fez. It must be double harder for Indonesian people to go haj in 1928, where we were still colonized by the Dutch.
we are so far away from saudi arabia. back then people went to hajj by ship, which takes three months. so they have to save money for the hajj and for the three months trip on the ship. they have to cook food for the three months by themselves while on the ship. may Allah accept their hajj
Itu leluhur nenek moyang saya....banyak dari Jawa Barat..........kalau mau ibadah Haji...ramai eamai naik kapal Laut ke Arab...bawa beras bawa bawa bekal yang banyak......
This is the SUNNAH that muslim should follow . To do haj you should follow what the prophet doing and feel what the prophet feeled . Not like today . The new generation had thrown away the sunnah .
Everyone you see in this video has returned back to Allāh and are most likely forgotten. Our life is so short, we have to turn to our Lord and follow the Sunnah of our messenger (peace be upon him) even if the people go against us.
A time will come (Now a days), there will be three type of people comming for Pilgrimage, 1. Doing Business of pilgrimage. 2. Tourist of Hajj, doing hoteling eating and shopping 3. Doing their own publicity with Hajj Sayings Imam Ali 1400 years ago. History of Islam.
Subhanallah. Life has become so much comfortable since. But even now, you will find pilgrims who save all their life for hajj and are so poor they live in squalid apartments and walk 5km five times a day to pray at the haram. May god accept them.
Those were not bedoins living outside of Makkah. Those were pilgrims that never left but they are illegal so they had to live in horrible conditions and survive somehow.
Good thing to hide their faces so we won’t know who they are! This is close to 100 years ago and I doubt if even one person in this video is still alive.
What a difference this is truly difficult- sad to say I was watching the pilgrims this morning and unfortunately saw a lot of them on I. There phones taking selfies etc - this is a disconnect from the true meaning and reason to be there - there should be only be allah as your focus when you are at haj - that said I still say Allah bless them at least they are there amen
