Mabrookh... for those who received the approval and going to perform HAJ this year, insha'Allah.

As instructed to do "All the procedures only through online", I'd applied for HAJ on the first day of registration opening and also informed to other brothers in QatarLiving (http://www.qatarliving.com/node/3454471)

Subsequently, knowing the fact that the Saudi government had cut down the visa's from 13000 to 1500, I was checking the Government website for HAJ every day and waiting to receive SMS. Meantime, it was too surprising to know that many people are proceeding for HAJ without even receiving the above SMS or any sort of confirmation from government website. The common answer I'd received from them was, they had pushed the service providers to get "Approval" !!

While I am convincing myself that "There is no invitation from HIM this year" I would like to register my concern that the procedure for HAJ is still unclear and confusing to many applicants, including the service providers(Hamla)

Any thoughts?
