The Hajj Executive Office
J&K Haj Committee,
Srinagar/Jammu.
Sub:Complaint regarding Haj training.
Sir/ Madam,
With due regard I have to express my concern about the Haj training sessions conducted by your committee. I have recently attended a training programme at Masjid Firdosabad Sunjwan,Jammu, where the trainer made irrelevant statements about Haj rituals and claimed Haj is not acceptable a pilgrim with a short or no beard on his face and exaggerated the importance of 100 rakats of Tahajjud during Haj. Such distortions are misleading and compromise the sanctity and spirit of Haj experience.
The trainers lack in Islamic academic background and aren’t well equipped to impart updated training to facilitate the performance as per the standards of Haj. I, therefore, request you to kindly:
- Review trainer qualifications and credentials
- Ensure trainers are knowledgeable about Haj rituals and Islamic teachings
- Take action to prevent such distortions in future training sessions
- Include scholars with expertise in Fiqh and Hadith to oversee training content
- Provide pilgrims with authentic study materials based on Quran and Sunnah
- Conduct refresher courses for trainers to update their knowledge
- Establish a feedback mechanism for pilgrims to report inaccuracies.
- Lady Haj trainers should be inducted for the training of female pilgrims,
- Ensure use of digital display systems such as Interactive whiteboard with maps of the holy sites.
This will definitely help pilgrims to receive accurate information and perform their Haj with ease according to the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.
Sincerely,
Abdul Qayyum Nadvi,
Intending Pilgrim,
Bathindi Jammu.
