Hajj Sermon 2021: O believers, fear Allah Almighty by obeying His commands

The limited-scale Hajj owing to the pandemic is underway in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Five-day pilgrimage, this year, is confined only to residents of the Kingdom.

Pilgrims in Saudi Arabia begin performing Hajj from Sunday after arriving in pilgrims in Mina.

The believers today performed the Rukn–e–Azam of Hajj Waqoof e Arafat.

Sheikh Dr Bandar Baleelah  delivered the Hajj Khutbah at Masjid Al Namirah, Arafat and and led the Hujjaj in combined Dhur/Asr Prayers.

 In the Hajj sermon, Sheikh Bandar Bin Abdulaziz Baleelah, urged people to follow Prophet’s (PBUH) teachings regarding pandemics, saying that the Prophet (PBUH) had asked people to not go to an area where there’s a plague.

“The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that people should not go out of the area where the plague has spread and people from other areas should not go there,” he said.
