Frenchman commits suicide at Makkah’s Grand Mosque

image_pdfimage_print

A Frenchman has committed suicide by throwing himself off the roof of the Grand Mosque in Islam’s holiest city of Makkah, Saudi and French officials said on Saturday.

“A foreigner threw himself from the roof of the Grand Mosque in Makkah” to the courtyard below, “resulting in his instant death”, Saudi police told the official SPA news agency.

A French foreign ministry official told AFP in Paris that the dead man was French but gave no further details.

The rare act was not the first of its kind to take place in Makkah, the holiest city in Islam — which, like other monotheistic religions, prohibits suicide.

The body was transported to hospital, with an investigation underway “to determine the victim’s identity, what led to the act and how he was able to commit it despite the existence of a metal fence”, SPA said.

Last year, a Saudi man tried to set himself on fire in front of the Kaaba — the square stone building in the centre of the mosque compound — but was stopped by security forces.

Every year, millions of Muslim pilgrims from across the world travel to Makkah and Madina, Islam’s second holiest site, also in western Saudi Arabia.

Hajj 2017 application & Pre-Registration

image_pdfimage_print

As per an independent survey, approximately 6000 people could not travel for Hajj in 2014. There are few main reasons which are as below:

  • Shortage of Hajj quote by 20% due to Holy Haram expansion project
  • Heavily increasing demand and desire to go for Hajj among Muslims in USA and around the world
  • Less number of reliable Hajj companies with their limited Hajj visa quota.

It is estimated that 2015 will also be another tough year to get on board for Hajj as many people who could not go are in waiting que. Many travel agencies in United states are already pre-sold for Hajj 2015. It is not recommended to wait till last minute to get cheaper deals but to get pre-registered for Hajj with a reputable company.

Labaik Tours, an IATA licensed and accredited Travel agency has started taking Hajj 2015 applications.
