This is the reason why #Sadiq_Khan suddenly went "bald" - he did indeed shave his head, as part of his #Hajj ( it is a ritual known as #Halq and common amongst devout #Muslims )
I did not know this until today (and for years had wondered why my Muslim colleagues who are way younger than me seemed to have thin or no #hair around springtime)

Climate change exposes millions of Hajj pilgrims to deadly heat for increasingly longer parts of the year
Temperatures in #SaudiArabia are rising earlier in the year and reaching more dangerous extremes, making the pilgrimage increasingly hazardous not only in the summer months, where in 2024 more than 1300 pilgrims lost their lives when #Hajj started in mid-June temperatures reached 51°C, but even during the spring months.
In a super-rapid study researchers from World #WeatherAttribution show that for pilgrims who spend 20–30 hours outdoors, often walking in dense crowds, the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke is becoming far more severe earlier in the year, with temperatures now reaching heights in May that were only seen in June to August in the 1960s and 1970s, due to human-induced #ClimateChange.

Three faiths share this story. Today, 2 billion people celebrate it.
Eid al-Adha (عيد الأضحى) closes the Hajj — the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Families gather for morning prayer, perform qurbani, and divide the meat in thirds: family, neighbors, the poor. The redistribution is the point.
In Turkey it's Kurban Bayrami. In West Africa, Tabaski. In South Asia, Bakr-Eid. Same holiday, different everywhere.

On Arafat Day, 2 billion Muslims mark the spiritual heart of Hajj — standing in stillness on a plain in Saudi Arabia, seeking forgiveness. Not spectacle. Pure presence. Islam teaches this hour mirrors standing before God. Other traditions echo this: Judaism's Yom Kippur holds similar weight of honest reckoning.

When is Eid ul Adha?
Eid ul Adha is celebrated on the 10th of Dhul Hijja, the final month of the Islamic calendar, after the new moon is sighted. It marks the end of Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca, and comes about 10 weeks after Eid ul Fitr.

What is Hajj?
Hajj is the sacred pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca. Muslims circle the Kaaba, walk between Safa and Marwa, throw stones symbolizing rejection of evil, and offer a sacrifice in remembrance of Prophet Abraham’s devotion to Allah.

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Bible vs. The Quran: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 156-158.
Last time on Flippin’ Fatwa Friday, we covered three issues, talking about good works, the Ka’ba, and jihad. Today, we’re sort-of back to talking about the Ka’ba, though we’ll more specifically be looking at another big part of the Hajj. Let’s take a look at this:
156. Who, when a calamity befalls them, say, ‘Surely, we belong to Allah and to him, of course, we return (and in his will is our peace).’ 157. It is they upon whom descend the benedictions from their Lord and his mercy, and it is they who are guided aright. 158. The Safa and Marwah (- the two eminences near Ka’ba) are certainly (two) of the symbols of Allah, so he who is on Pilgrimage to the house or performs ‘Umrah (- a visit to Ka’ba), there is no blame on him to perform Tawaf (- to run between) the two (eminences), and he who remains thoroughly dutiful and chooses to do good deeds spontaneously, the surely (he will find) Allah is Appreciative and rewards ever good deed done. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing.
I’ve already talked about the pagan origins of the Ka’ba and the Black Stone, but one of the things I sadly forgot to mention was how the Hajj also includes running between two small hills, the Safa and Marwa, seven times. This verse is the only time where this practice is mentioned, and it isn’t really elaborated on in the Quran.
The pagan origins of this practice aren’t something that can only be found through spending hours flipping through history books or scrolling on Google. It’s readily admitted in the hadiths that this practice stems from Arabian pagans. For example, Sahih Bukhari 4496 says:
Narrated `Asim bin Sulaiman:
I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa. Anas replied, “We used to consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the Pre-islamic period of Ignorance, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah revealed: “Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca) are among the Symbols of Allah. So it is not harmful of those who perform the Hajj of the House (of Allah) or perform the Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between them.”Stange how pagan customs were never absorbed into Judaism or Christianity by God. Why would Allah make a pagan custom something that is mandatory in Islam?
The reason for this has much to do with what I’ve mentioned in previous posts about the Hajj. It was all to gain a following. Muhammad knew that these customs were important to the people groups he knew. It wasn’t something they would give up easily. Thus, he simply absorbed them into Islam to make it more palatable for them.
Until next time,
M.J.
