[quote]Let me first pray to Allah (SWT) that:

[size=1][blue]We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our actions.  Whomsoever Allah guides then there is none who can misguide him, and whomsoever Allaah misguides then there is none who can guide him. May Allaah keep us on the Straight Path of His Deen! Aameen[/blue].[/size=1]

To proceed:

I would like to draw attention of my brothers and sisters to the following points for understanding the Islaamic injunctions on the issue and opinions of the experts in Islaamic jurisprudence ([i]Fuqahaa’[/i]):

-	[i]Deenul-Islaam [/i] was completed by Allah (SWT) with the revelation of [i][url="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/005.qmt.html"]Aayah[/i] No: 3 of [i]Surah[/i] 5 – [i]Al-Maaidah [/i] of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem[/url][/i] [[green]...This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion ...[green]] [black]and thus nothing can now be added or subtracted from it. [i]Hajj [/i] is one of the five basic pillars of Islaam. Therefore, the journey for this ([i]`Umrah[/i] being similar to [i]Hajj [/i] has to be given the same consideration) has to be undertaken observing all the precautions and practices prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad ([i]s[/i]allallaahu `alaihi wa sallam). Any change in these will amount to violation of the edict contained in [i][url="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html"]Aayah[/i] No: 36 of [i]Surah[/i] 33 – [i]Al-Ahzaab [/i] of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem[/url][/i] [/black] [[green]It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.[/green]]
-	Intention of all [i]`Ibaadaat [/i] is to seek pleasure of Allah (SWT). If such [i]`Ibaadaat [/i] are not done in the way prescribed by Allah (SWT) and His Messenger ([u][i]s[/i][/u][i]allallaahu `alaihi wa sallam[/i]) then no sane mind can assume that Allah (SWT) will be pleased with such [i]`Ibaadaat[/i].

Regarding comments of brother Atif Rafi about transmission [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem[/i] and [i]Ahaadith[/i] I would urge him to read some good books on the subjects of "[i]Uloom-ul-Quraan[/i]” and "[i]`Ilm-ul-Hadith[/i]”. I am sure after reading these he will, [i]In Shaa Allah[/i], come to the same conclusion as I hold in this matter. I am sorry for my inability to summarise characteristics of the proceedings undertaken for putting in writing these two sources of Deen-ul-Islaam [cf. Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad ([u][i]s[/i][/u][i]allallaahu `alaihi wa sallam[/i]) delivered by him on the occasion of [i]Hajjah-tul-Wida`[/i]]. The only difference is that the chain for individual transmission in the case of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] finished with the Companions of the prophet ([i]Ridhwaanullahi `Alayhim Ajma`een[/i]) with its being put down in writing in the book form ([i]Mu[u]s[/u]-[u]h[/u]af[/i]) during the caliphate of  `Usmaan Ibni `Affaan ([i]Radhi-ullah Ta`aalaa `Anhu[/i]) while in case of [i]Aahaadith[/i] the chain of individual transmission continued for several decades after the period of [i]Khilaafat Raashidah[/i], covering the generations of [i][i]Taabi`een[/i][/i], [i]Taba` Taabi`een[/i], and a few subsequent ones, till compilation of the famous books of collection of authentic [i]Aahaadith[/i], such as, [i]Sa[u]h[/u]ee[u]h[/u] Bukhaari[/i], [i]Sa[u]h[/u]ee[u]h[/u] Muslim[/i], etc. [i]Ijma`[/i] mentioned by brother Atif Rafi most probably relates to the six authentic books ([i][u]S[/u]i[u]h[/u]aa Sittah[/i]) of [i]Aahaadith[/i] and not to the actual chain of transmission.
