Dilemma of tourists from Saudi Arabia's veil to Europe

         When an Arab was asked where his favorite summer vacation spot, the man replied firmly, "Airport!" June-september is summer in Saudi Arabia. For four months, the temperature in the country surrounded by desert rose, can reach 60 degrees centigrade. These conditions make millions of citizens of saudi arabia in droves to attack the airport. They stand in line to buy tickets for a vacation extends to countries with colder weather, Where is saudi arabia citizens on vacation? Arabic Saudi tourism commission noted as much as 12 percent of total Saudi arab citizens who choose to vacation europe and the united states, the rest as much as 50 percent of Saudi citizens on vacation in the middle east countries outside the Gulf countries, and 32 percent travel to Gulf countries.
         But this year the locations of tourists from saudi arabia especially womenfolk to European countries would be problematic. Two French parliament last week approved the rules and penalties to ban women wearing the hijab and the veil in public places. This decision was reinforced by the decision of the upper house of France and the French senate on July 31 next siding.
If ratified, the French became the second country that prohibits women veiled dieropa after belgium, as many as five million French citizens embrace Islam. Of this total, only five thousand Muslim women who wear veils.
          Avoiding things that are not desirable that the two clerics of Saudi Arabia and Mohammed al-Ayed Nujaimi a-Qarni allow Saudi women in the french open their veils, they also recommend that the tourists had crossed out the french air from the list of holiday requests. The second statement was contained in the clergy daily Al-Watan Kuwaiti origin. According to al-Qarni vacation is not the primary need is basically a person with such actual female tourists Saudi Arabia does not have to go to a State which does not guarantee its people religious freedom. If a Muslim is prohibited to use a veil covering the face, or they risk experiencing harassment, they better open the hood alone, "added al-nujaimi as quoted reuters.But both are open fatwas binding opinion. Al-Nujaimi and Al-Qarni was not included in the board of the Saudi Arab clerics, although it is of the opinion that this one is both highly acclaimed, Facing the threat of French number of Saudi citizens was his intention to cancel the country's famous Eiffel Tower. According to Saudi Arabian citizens of France had gone too far meddle in the affairs of their beliefs, others called it french is a violation of human rights by agreeing to open the veil in public places.
          "During the veil does not threaten a State Security, the French have no right to forbid it. I do not trust issue with the veil has become a threat there, "said Waleed al-Khair, lawyers and human rights activist in Jeddah to the National.
          Mohammed al-Qahtani, manager of IT in Abha, Saudi citizens do not need to add a fatwa prohibiting clerics they travel to countries that prohibit the veil. However, he asserted, that Saudi citizens who are not covered, such as one might imagine many people in the West.
"Religion is the only asset owned by Saudi Arabia, Arab citizens have no other value higher than that of Islam and we will protect it from abuse" said al-Qahtani.
          Montasser al-Rashidi, a citizen of Egypt who served as public relations personnel in Jeddah, said he often travels to paris. But because of this rigid rule that he decided not to set foot again in Paris.
          "I've never been discriminated against Muslims in paris, and I look forward to this new policy was not aimed towards" that he said as quoted by Middle East Online. A number of Saudi women also thinks the French government should not impose the ban, because among Islam itself is still a debate whether to wear the veil and the veil of religious rules or not. Also in Saudi Arabia now has a lot of women who did not wear veils or cover her face when appearing before the public.
         Whatever it is, the rules in France are now facing. A number of Saudi women in order to inflame the spirit of similar conditions apply for the citizens of Europe who went to Saudi. This means that European women who visited the Middle East also must be at least wearing a veil covering her head. Yomen Loqman, editor of a newspaper, said every citizen should respect their customs. "When it comes to Arab citizens of Saudi europe they should respect the culture and laws here. So, we will also do the same thing "he said.

Praying in the holy land would be granted

 Do you pray? Every human being has ever done that, but maybe people often feel that the prayer which they do not often heard by Allah SWT. Or we feel our requests are ignored by the Almighty. As a Muslim, should not be thinking like that. Allah Almighty knows every demand of the Muslims. Allah is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, so do not think that we human beings are ignored Each request must be optimistic that the petition be accepted. Similarly, those who pray, hoping all the wishes will be granted. Allah has promised in the Qur'an that the prayer is being said to Allah SWT will be given "Pray to Me, I will answer you" (Sura Al-Mu'min: 60) Moreover, if the prayer was delivered by the place and time is efficacious. Like in the holy land, because almost all the holy places there, because almost every day used to worship some places that are believed to work in Makkah, such as Jabal Rahmah, Padang Arafah, throwing jumrah place, the space between the Black Stone corner lines up to the door of Ka'ba, Safa , Hijir Ismail, behind Maqam Ibrahim, Zam-Zam well, roudhah Masjid Nabawi (the medina) and more. While a good time to pray at this shrine pilgrimage diijabah throughout the season, namely Shawwal and Dzullhijah, "Time to pray in the holy land is at any time Whenever you can, not only to pray at the prayer times only,. But the whole" day, all prayers during the hajj must diijabah like the promise of Allah SWT. For example, the prayer for world interests, the interests of the hereafter, family or other prayers. Prayer-delivered to Allah and also  not have to use Arabic, but can also be in English, French, German, etc. Whatever the sacred ground of prayer is said, no prayer should be read, if the congregation can read Arabic to understand the meaning of prayer and the language, it would be better . But if not, pray in a language that is understood, such as local language for "God is Able to comprehend and understand anything we are trying to" But, he added, with a prayer given by the absorption depends on each individual. But, surely, when the quality of our worship is good, although the words and good intentions, it has been included prayer.
