Hajj of a Lifetime

I went to perform Hajj in 2008 with Hajj Pros; I want everyone to know that the best Hajj tour to go with is Hajj Pros. How can I say that? Well let me share a few thoughts that remain with me regarding my Hajj experience.
The Hajj guides are just the best. Mansoor was assigned our guide at the airport in New York and he was attentive to the needs of all members of our group. There was a doctor with us (as well as a few nurses and a nurse practitioner). The staff was very attentive and even provided wheelchair assistance for me to make sure that I was able to complete all of my Hajj rites. Even on the arrival back in New York, Brother Mansoor made sure that I received all my luggage. I am truly grateful to Allah Ta Baraka wa ta 'aala for my Hajj experience and the brothers and sisters that He sent to help me along the way. May Allaah Ta 'aalaa grant them and us all Jannatul Firdaws. Aameen

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaithu,
Hajj Pros Family,   My wife Qiyamah and I would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the guidance and leadership that we received from Hajj Pros during our Umrah and Hajj trip 2008. We are very thankful to Allah (swt) that we were invited to and completed a major pillar of our faith, insha'Allah.

  I was able to learn very valuable information from the lectures and materials that were given during the workshops. There was a lot of hikma in the decision making on the part of leadership. It was very impressive and motivating to see such young African American Muslims, such as yourselves so knowledgeable in the deen, and fluent in the Arabic. You all provided such an excellent service to not just our community, but to all communities. You represent a new generation of Islam, and we have prayed and continue to pray for your continued success and reward. 
Thank you for taking on our group at the last moment, we know that it must have been very challenging.

  My wife wanted to add:
  I struggled tremendously with the multiple tests I was faced with on hajj (as I'm sure everyone did). It was extremely challenging for me at times, but one of the things that kept me going and helped me to endure between performing the hajj rites aside from the support from my husband was the weekly talks that were given.  The thorough information and dalil I received from you, Sr. Shahidah was very comforting, The calm and peaceful disposition of both you and your husband, I think, trickled down on all of us and followed us right out to the floors of the Kaba. This was evident in the difference between our group and some other groups.

  I have to highly commend Sister Aneesah for her beautiful disposition and patience with us and in particular with me. When I didn't know or remember exactly what to do or say when we entered the Masjid, or visited the grave of the Prophet (saas) or anything else I would pull her to side and ask her if she could go over it with me, or show me what to do, and she would always help me out. That meant so much to me because I knew that I would get it done correctly, which was my main concern in respect to completing my rites to my Lord. 

  I learned a lot from Sr. Kariema as well. I cannot always verbally express or articulate myself well, but in short she helped me to be more comfortable just being myself. Brother Mansoor shared the same energy and spirit as yourself and your husband...very calm and peaceful. He gave us very good advice and direction. We were not at all intimidated to ask him questions or to make his self available for us when we wanted to do something "extra" outside of performing the rites. He was very open.

    We have a strong desire to go back to hajj again in the near future, insha'Allah Allah will bless us to return in the next few years with Hajj Pros. Jazakum Allahu kahryan for your efforts and beautiful service that you provide our communities.

As-Salamu-Alaikum,

What I would like to say cannot be written by words. For, my heart is unable to express in this brief writing its gratitude, appreciation and love for the wonderful experiences that I had while on Hajj. An experience that was graced by the hard work of HajjPros. And should Allah bless me to be able to go again, HajjPros is the way to go.

Both of the Executives of the HajjPros Corporation are brilliant in their execution of tasks. They were superiors in their services regarding the accommodations, information and preparations. From the very beginning I was of importance to them. They handled my affairs with care and consideration.

HajjPros took me to all the places that I have always wanted to see as a Muslimah. I felt protected,well informed, and empowered by the HajjPros Corporation. And while with them, Allah blessed me to Touch the Black Stone, Stand uninterrupted at the Maqam of Ibrahim, Touch the Yemen Wall, Read Quran and offer Prayer at all of the Historical Masjids, Go on a tea with Dignitaries and eat on the Red Sea. Allahu Akbar!

I watched most if not all actions, as I always sat near them as they conducted the business of transporting us to every imaginable place in Mecca, Medina and in between. And all that they did, they did in excellence. Their characters and work ethics were on display during times of difficulty and during those times they worked in excellence.

They demonstrated fluency in the language of Arabic as well as the customs and gesturing of the country. Thus making our transitions from every point easier than most others. The key point to realize is that what HajjPros was doing for us, 3 million other people are having done for them. And as a participant and a spectator, HajjPros was always in a good position, even during the difficult times, we were always in a good position!

Therefore, as a result of their works and commitment: My Ummrah was excellent; My Hajj was excellent;The Food was excellent;The Hotel accommodations were excellent; The Classes that were offered to inform us of the rites were excellent; And The Special Guest Speakers were excellent. I had no complaints. And if I did, they made themselves available to address them. They are a "Hands On Team".

I thank Allah for the opportunity to make my Hajj and I thank him for blessing me to go with HajjPros.
So, In sha Allah, when you go on Hajj, go with The Pros.

Sincerely,
Nimat Shaheed

As-Salaamu-Alaikum.

Alhamdulillah, I was able to make Hajj in 2008 with Hajj Pros. Walahi, they are the best! I knew the first time we had a phone conference that this was the right group for me. They really focused on teaching us how to perform the rites of Ummra and Hajj correctly. To have a young brother and sister who had command of the language and sound knowledge of Al-Quran and Sunnah was very comforting and impressive. Brother Sulaimaan and sister Shahidah are extremely patient and down to earth and they know how to take care of business efficiently. Even with all of their responsibilities (icluding caring for their newborn baby), they made all 80 of us feel that we were individually worth their time if we had questions or issues. Lastly, I wanted to mention and thank the rest of the H.P. staff who were wonderful as well. May Allah (SWT) reward you all for a job well done and continue to bless you. When I say "Hajj", you say "Pros", "HAJJ PROS!"

ASA with much gratitude,

As-Salamu-Alaikum,
My name is Bro. Zakariya residing in Mobile, Alabama. I was amongst the believers of Hajj'07 with Hajj Pros. Hajj is a beautiful experience, but also vital pillar of faith that shouldn't be taken for granted. This is why I highly recommend Hajj Pros. Brother Sulaimaan and his wife are knowledgeable (according to Quran and Sunnah) plus they are generally nice people. May Allah reward them, there wasn't a moment in my 23 days in Saudi that I felt that they didn't have my best interest in mine. The customer service was so great that I felt as if I was the only person that traveled with them. But, that's from the business aspect. On a personal level Brother Sulaimaan and Sister Shahidah interacts with each individual to make sure that everyone performs the rights of Hajj properly, makes sure that everyone is comfortable(to the best of their ability), and conduct group meetings to listen to the believers. I honestly can give Hajj Pros five stars.***** And trust me, you will not find this type of service with just any Hajj group.

Hajj Pros Is the Best!
Alhumdullilah, I'm grateful to Allah Subhan Wa Ta Ala that I experienced my first Hajj with Hajj pros. It's deep because I came with another Group. But Allah blessed me to end up with Hajj Pros for the Majority of my Hajj. I was still welcomed with open arms. May Allah continue to bless Sheik Sulaimaan and his wife in their efforts. We as African Americans need brothers who are learned in this field. May Allah reward you for picking up this particular banner in Islam, amin.

I want to commend Imam Sulaimaan and Sister Shahidah on giving me the best hajj experience. Allah is truly merciful and I am grateful to have been invited. May Allah reward you, Thank you for making sure that I was taken care of. I know I had issues at times and am quite indulged. But, the both of you helped me through every experience. I have learned great patience from the Hajj experience. I loved Medina and I truly see why Allah sent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to make Hijrah there. It was quite peaceful. I am forever changed. Allah-U-Akbar. Thank you. As-Salaam-Alaykum.

Best Hajj Yet
Dear Brother Sulaimaan and Sister Shahidah:
We would like to take this time to thank you all for your assistance in helping us perform our Hajj. You all were very knowledgeable and your patience was remarkable and you were quick to point out that our "focus" should be on Allah and not the adversity that we faced. We could not ask for a better guide than Hajj Pros. Even though I went on Hajj in 2003, this was truly my first Hajj. Brother Sulaimaan and Sister Shahidah, we love you and may Allah continue to bless you all in your efforts. We will let everyone know that the way to go is "HAJJ PROS."

May Allah continue to Bless Hajj Pros
I rocked my soul in the bosom of Abraham from Dec. 3, 2007 to Dec. 26, 2007 on Hajj, Pilgrimage to Mecca. My hajj experience has left me with a peace, calmness, and tranquility throughout my total being. It seems as though my focus now is only to please Allah. May Allah continue to Bless Hajj Pros for their exhilarating efforts in ensuring that everyone who accompanies them on the trip; meet the requirements of hajj. The classes held the night before each ritual to explain the meaning and its significance, the sight seeing field trips and expeditions their historical importance were of insurmountable value. Priceless is the leadership provided by Hajj pros. Their command of the Arabic language extended beyond the Holy Quran to the idiomatic expressions of the Saudi neighborhoods. This proved to be very valuable. Hajj Pros led us through the hajj process, the rituals and the experience professionally and tirelessly. They armed us with an itinerary filled with activities that included trips to Medina and other significant places. I thank Allah for inviting me to Hajj and I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience my hajj with Hajj Pros.

As salaam Alaykum

The Hajj journey was well worth the prayer, strength and blessings required to complete this pillar. I admire you and your wife for the effort that you put forth to make this Hajj experience as smooth and pleasant as possible. I also admire your efforts to keep costs minimized so that the Hajj experience is more affordable. I was proud of your efforts to assist and adopt "orphaned Hajjis" to help make their Hajj experience more pleasant. As our guides on this sojourn, I thought it would be helpful to provide feedback regarding the trip. As our guides; you took on a spiritual as well as paid responsibility to provide us with a Hajj experience.

As Salaamu Alaikum My Dear Sister and Brother - Shahidah and Sulaimaan, I do hope all is well with you and pray that Allah accepted your hajj.

I have been truly blessed to have met you two beautiful young people. You helped to make my hajj experience even better because of your sincerity and unfailing devotion to the deen. It takes special people to come along and want to do this work. You and Shahidah are showing yourselves as true "servants" of Allah. May Allah continue to increase you in knowledge and faith to do the work inshallah of making it as comfortable as possible for Muslims to make the "journey of a lifetime".Sulaimaan you "rocked" as the Khatib for Jumah prayer on Arafat. I loved it!!!!! That's what I'm talking about - my young African American brother over there giving the Jumah prayer. May Allah reward you both in this life and the hereafter.

Ma Salaam,

Sidi Sulaimaan, As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.

This is a brief note to once again thank you for letting me be a "guest" in your Hajj group from Cairo to Jeddah. As you may recall, I'm the brother who was a Dar El Salam customer, but who was traveling a day late because of a weather-related delay. Anyway, tonight (insha'Allah) I plan to host several brothers in my home to talk about my Hajj experience, including preparing for Hajj and selecting a Hajj travel agent. Of course, I intend to mention your service and to note the personalized attention that you give to the pilgrims under your charge.

Sincerely,

With The Name Allah The Merciful Benefactor The Merciful Redeemer As-Salaamu Alaikum

Dear Brother Sulaimaan & Sister Shahidah, I could never thank Allah enough for the excellent services you provided for us on Hajj this year. The level of knowledge you provided us with, the level of patience you continued to show us through out our entire stay, the level of compassion you showed for each and every member of our group far and above exceeded any expectation I could ever imagine. Sister Shahidah, I thank Allah for giving you such a kind and gentle sprit. They say that Allah sometime send Angles during Hajj, I feel like that was what you were to me.

Peace and Blessings

*****As Salaam Alaikum.  Congratulations on this fabulous website!    For whatever reason before I felt as though the Hajj journey for me would be a distant future happening.  Now that I know of Hajj Pros and I personally know the team, I feel a lot comfortable with making this journey a near future one.  This is exactly what the Islamic community needs.

Love your sister,
Wanda

*****ASA Sulaimaan & Shahidah:

I pray that everything is well for you.

Again, I want to say to you how grateful we are to Allah for your leadership during the Hajj. Being home and reflecting on our struggles and rewards I can sincerely appreciate the concern and commitment you exhibited. The Syrian students were awesome. I can agree with Imam Muhammad when he said at the last Islamic Convention that "our future is in good hands". (Al-Hamdulillah!!)

May Allah continue to bless Professional Hajj and Umrah Guides and all the good that you do.

Salaams,

As Salaamu Alaikum!!!
 
  I wish that we were still at hajj.  I don't mean going through the drama.  
I mean hanging out and enjoying each other's company.  I hope that we 
get to see each other again.  
Please make dua for me, my family and my bag.
 
                                                 your brother in faith,

**********As Salaam Alaikum fellow Hajji,

I draw tremendous significance from the people Allah placed me with on this blessed journey. I tremendously appreciate your friendship and being blessed to make the Hajj with you.  May Allah reward you for all your assistance.  I thank you for your leadership.  You and Shahidah are doing an excellent service for Allah and providing an urgently needed service to our community and our people.  You will never get the thanks and support you truly deserve for offering your sincerity.  This is because only Allah is truly a witness to it.  Know that Allah will reward you with the khairu jaza' yaum al-qiyammah.  Don’t get frustrated when doing the work that is always oversimplified, unnoticed, and underappreciated.  Remember who it is you serve.  I am extremely blessed and honored to have made the Hajj with you and look forward to the next opportunity we have to share in service to our Lord together.  May Allah reward you with the best of this life and the next.  Amin

Tariq
