- Not knowing if you will return was the common theme of people who went for Hajj in those times. It was only in 1850 that the first steam ship carried pilgrims for Haj. In 1936 Egypt was the first one to start Air Flights for Haj. Before this the travel was by land and pilgrims were generally attacked by Badaoins and their possessions were stolen. Things have changed so much and all for the better. This video captures how far we have come from the ancient times. The number of pilgrims are now in millions and not in thousands. Enjoy and please do watch till the end. Please share and subscribe.
This is the First Documentary ever filmed. This was done by a Dutch Film Maker by the name of Krogers. He lived in Indonesia and decided to do one of his first films on Hajj. An event that he knew was of huge significance to the Muslims. It is not exactly sure who funded the project, but his wife was very supportive. Krogers prepared himself for the trip by getting circumcised and learning about the Arab traditions and learning about the Haj from an Ambassador who had performed Hajj 5 times. He also changed his name. It looks like he was able to get into Mecca in 1928.
Please share with as many people as you know may be they will see their ancestors in this documentary. Krogers died in 1964. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Today in millions but only few with reverence for the holy place. Nowadays people do tawaf in mataf wearing their shoes, busy on video calls and selfies. May Allah guide us.Aameen.
آمين يا رب
Very true, feels really bad.. Mataaf where thousands of great people who have prostrated …
If they had smart phones in 1920’s they would have done same things what we do these days. Still those who have issues. Go to Haram Shareef and ask for help. Allah is all forgiving
it is sunnah to do tawaf with the correct footwear

In the past, Indonesian Muslims who were about to go to perform hajj held a big gathering to bid a goodbye with their loved ones, relatives, and neighbors. It's because the trip was utterly arduous, it takes months to go and back, to the point that they didn't even know they're going to be back to the homeland or not 😢 it was indeed a difficult time. Because of the huge amount of effort and sacrifices, people who did hajj was well-respected by the community, that afterwards their status will be increased and they will be regarded as an imam/a teacher. May Allah allow all of us to perform hajj in the best manner and be a true Muslim who earns paradise. Aameen
Amiin YRA ..
Amiin 🤲
Amiin. If I may add the hajis were treated like that not only because they had been through a long hard journey but also because they learnt more about Islam during their travel and some extended the trip to study under scholars of the holy cities
Aameen!
It took my dad months...he came back with beard . We didnt know him. It was definetley a blessed journey.
Not easy to perform Haj back in the old days especially when you have to travel from faraway lands such as Indonesia and Malaysia, but the rewards are greater insyaAllah for the pilgrims
slightly disagree. back then boats were metal at that point so you just slept in a room for a month or so and landed in jeddah. that's not super difficult compared to african brothers who had to travel across africa through egypt or through a port in east africa. i boat trip wouldn't cost a fortune either since one large boat could fit thousands of people

@xondeez757 both are hard
This video really helped me to figure out an inspiring story of how my grand grand father and grandfather performing the hajj in 1920s. The ship sailing from Surabaya to Jeddah took a month. We are proud of them. May Allah reward them with Jannah.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes this gives us some insight into what our ancestors went through. Comparing it with today. Please share on your whatsapp groups so that more people can appreciate.
Amen
these meant that they spent Ramadan in a ship on the way to mekka
ameen.
Ameen ❤
My Grandfather took a camel from Damascus to Mecca around the same time of this video. It’s really remarkable
Subhaan Allah. Today it's like a vacation in a five star hotel. May Allah accept their Hajj then and of those who are preparing for it Ameen.
Excellent video.
Better than a beach/resort vacation lol

Doing Hajj in the conditions in 1928 would be a life changing experience!
For those that were confused about the burial at sea, the journey by ship was over three weeks and the death was on the ship. In Islam, we bury our dead quickly, and if a person dies at sea and it is not possible to bring the body back to land before decay, or if burial at land becomes impossible, burial at sea is allowed.
Only few get to visit the place because it a long journey but now God has made it easier for us may Allah make us be among those that can visit His holy house 🤲
Not God but kuffar science made the journey shorter
@@ghostbansurvivor6229God gave man the intellect to be able to create vehicles, they were also predicted in numerous ahadith. And everything happens through the wisdom and allowance of Allah therefore Allah made the journey shorter.
@@Raihankhan741 But why were Muslims not given the intellect to create vehicles? So allah only gives tech to Kuffar but flying donkeys to the ummah?
@@Raihankhan741 definitely🥰
Allahumma aamin
My grand-grand dad used to go to Hajj on their Camels from nowadays Tatarstan (in Russia). All he took with himself was dry bread and water.
A lot of Muslims from Soviet Union came to Mecca and Madena a settled there
That's amazing may Allah grant him jannah

Non-Muslim here. Still fascinated by the footage. A time capsule of the Arabia of the time, not just Mecca itself.
Yes indeed
Those were the days!
- When it was a big chance that they may not come back.
- When the journey itself was much longer than the Hajj pilgrimage.
- When the term 'Hajji' meant so much more.
Now we can just get a plane ticket. And the ride is now shorter than the Hajj itself. Not that it means any less at all now, but we should look at those in the past with awe.
I am here in Makkah right now. Mashallah it’s beautiful
My granddad did his Hajj on a donkey starting from a village in Algeria took him 6 months to arrive and 6 months back
Oh could you interview him about his Hajj and put it on TH-cam?
That would be so beneficial for all of us!
May Allah Subhana Taala accept their Haj in challenging condition. Retd Soldier, India
Taken by Dutch film maker his name Krogers who lived in Indonesia... thats my country ❤ Alhamdulillah how difficult people in past
Muslims in the past, especially in africa where maliki jurisprudence is widely followed, they had to start the voyage to Hajj if they can walk and move. That's it ! So poor ones just starts the trip even if they don't have any money. But they stop on the way to work a bit and earn some to spend it the days they were traveling. A lot will take them years to accomplish the Hajj. There are stories of families moving with kids to hajj and throughout the voyage kids became adults. May allah accept from them ameen.
My aunts and uncles( originally Nigerians) became Sudanese along the process
@@cirina3 amazing thanks for sharing.
@@cirina3seriously? That's the most amazing thing I heard in many days
Thank you for sharing this video.
How lucky are we today to get so many facilities like airplanes.. cars.. hotels with AC.. train... Thank God for your kind mercy... Bless all those Saudi people for investing in Mecca...
Indeed.
That’s so true Alhamdulilah.
SubhanaAllah
A journey of a lifetime.
May Allah have accepted from them all
I teared to watch this video. Ya Rab, bless those who went for Haj in such a challenge. Even today it may look easy, but with the huge crowds and families, it is still a challenge. May Allah help all those planning for Haj. Pls Dua for me. Tks
Now imagine the trials tests and difficulties faced by our beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM and All the Prophet's (peace and blessings of ALLAH swt be upon them) and their companions (May ALLAH swt be pleased with them ) INCOMPARABLE and what they used to do Praising ALLAH ( S.W.T) . But we Muslim's huh what we do even if a small trial or test hits us . MAY ALLAH ( S.W.T) FORGIVE US.
This is why the hajis were highly respected back then
still are now if your heart isnt sick
@@Mezeiny true, but i think he´s reffering to the effort the people back in the days went through.
In sha Allah we will all make hajj if only things were still this simple I'm 27 and would love to live in a time like this when people weren't stuck on their phones trying to get the best selfie etc. Not to mention the price that leaves most of us unable to even ever afford
you didnt watch the video right? currently going to hajj is the easiest ever been, in the past going to hajj meant probably leaving your life behind and probably never coming back. but yeah so hard..
Hajj is the only thing in Islam that is mandatory ONLY IF you are able to get to it
You say this as if you can't do this now. Nothing is stopping you from not paying for planes or transport to mecca and making the journey on foot. And may Allah reward you for that.
It's difficult but the Loyalty of Muslims ❤ it's just wow The light and purity of Imaan😍
My grandpa traveled to mecca from North Africa in bus in the 70s
so what? you want to use him for social media likes ?
70s was 100000000x different then the 20s
✌️🤲❤Malaysia-singapore 🇲🇾
So interesting, I wonder how long the trip took
Mashallah in a bus, I wonder how much time did it take Subhan Allah. May Allah reward him.
ya allah, we have it so easy!!! all a muslim has to do is pray 5 times a day, fast ramadan, pay zakat if one is able, have good manners and go hajj if possible. (while ofc avoiding haram)
wallahi its so easy! but our nafs and shaytan has made the haram seem beautiful...
may allah forgive us all
Haraam is also alot easier for Muslims living in the West
Ya Allah please allow all Muslims to perform hajj in our lifetime 🤲🏽
may allah reward them and hujaj today, some brothers in the comments are talking about today hujaj like they are sinful people. may allah reward KSA for their amazing work today making hajj easy with many help.
Feeling very fortunate after wathching this unique Hajj of long ago(1928).Nowadays we have so many fecilities in hajj Alhamdulillah !
Masya allah tabarakallah. I just came back from the old port in Jeddah. Its Al Balad , the building looks the same and now Saudi is restoring the buildings. Everybody must go to AlBalad and have a feeling of the old times Haj
Subhan Allah how everything is different now. Great video thank you for sharing.
They say that the Hajj is your personal 'fight' due to how difficult it can be. Makes you wonder what it was like before the 1920's! Nowadays it is more of a business with luxurious packages offered to those who can afford it, moving away from the original meaning for the Hajj. Personally, I think it should be the same for all, no matter how deep your pockets are.
WoW moi mon grand-père avait offert à ma grand-mère le pèlerinage en 1963. Le voyage durait 1mois par bateau pour aller de Dakar(Sénégal🇸🇳) à l’Arabie saoudite🇸🇦 et elle avait confié ma mère qui avait 2ans à sa sœur. Ça fait du bien de voir des vidéos du hajj dans le passé, cela nous donne une idée de la chance qu’on a aujourd’hui d’effectuer le pèlerinage avec plus de facilité.
It's not just the journey but able to go itself is extremely hard because we were then occupied by the Dutch and Portuguese. I remember the Sultan of Aceh wrote to Usmani Turk, asking for help because the Dutch won't let our people going Hajj (the letter was said to be delivered to the hands of Sultan Abdul Hamid II right after he outright rejected Theodor Herzl appeal for land. He is the founder of Zionism).. The Turks responded and sent aid and put pressure on the Dutch on their trade. Thank goodness it worked and people were allowed to go again.
WHAT A HARDSHIP THE UMMAH HAD TO ENDURE IN THOSE TIMES, MAY ALLAH ALMIGHTY FORGIVE, PARDON ALL THEIR SINS AND HAVE MERCY UPON THEM. AMEEN
aamiin 🤲🏼
The same story all over far & wide our parents would tell us about relatives going from Bangladesh they would fare families goodbye not guaranteeing their return may all off their hard efforts be accepted Ameen Ya Rab
Wow just Beautiful a time machine to the Ottoman Empire How Beautiful its Look in the time. May Allah give`s rahma to the old person that dies in the video🤲
1928 was 5 years after the collapse of the ottomans
@@aaaaaaaaa3515 Yeah this is correct but what I mean is just the place and the look of the time from this video because a few years ago it was the ottoman empire.
Ottomans paid little to no attention to the two holy mosques while spending unprecedented amounts of resources to build eye-catching mosques and infrastructure for the western tourists in Istanbul
@@Kingcrazy86 Glad that they've lost control of it, they had little to no interest in it after the rise of global nationalism which inevitably led them toward secularism. It was also full of grave worshippers and had different sects praying in their designated area of the haram since no one knew the true mathab.
@@aaaaaaaaa3515 But the infrastructures and everything during that time were done by Ottomans.
What a beautiful time
Beautiful time?
This is not long after the Saudi Wahabi traitor backstabbers revolted against their Caliphate the Ottomans!!
Not really, life is quite harsh back in those days
@@TheWorld-of7ddthere is more to life than “ease”. The people had less, but were more fulfilled + didn’t have to deal with the BS we’re dealing with in this time (LGTV+, constant distraction, etc)
th-cam.com/video/vlHnW4rMQX0/w-d-xo.html Please watch and share.
@@Adeltaarabt17 Ottomans had just fallen, Muslim lands were under colonization, and Muslims would join ww2 few years later on both sides. One side alongside their colonizers for the promise of a free land and other Muslims against colonizers to push them out of their lands.
It was not an easy time.
Everyone has died now 😢 return to Allah is sure, your don't have much time
Imagine, since 1928 while Indonesian was still under Dutch colonialism, we already sent thr pilgrim to Mekah
May الله grace the pilgrims of yesteryear with Haj Mabrur despite the huge hardship they endured the still made it to the Holy Makkah for the sake of الله.
Only 100 years ago and it is unrecognisable - we live in the end times.
Thats what Muslims even 1400 years ago already thought
People did hajj back in them days and was certified as Haji that was like a tremendous accomplishment and achievement.
Nowadays haji doesn’t mean the same.
Firstly the effort they had to endure was tremendous,for that reason alone hajj was no joke ,people meant it and went back sinless and died as haji on the gravestone 😢
My Allah will give them that the lofty place in Janna,Ameen
Jannah Firdous inshallah
MasyaAllah, may Allah reward all the people who have done hajj during this time greatly.
And thank you for sharing this vid. I always wondered how the people tht had died on the ship were taken care of. Now i know😊
Assalamualaikum. Thanks for sharing this. I made Hajj in 1997. The area around the Haram, has been built-up (e.g. giant clock tower, huge shopping malls, etc. ). I hope to make Hajj again, before I die, insha'Allah!🤲🏽❤️☝🏽🕋
Thank you for sharing! Not easy to see some things, but wonderful to watch anyway!

Subhanallah look how Allah swt made hajj so easy for us and yet we still do not go. May Allah swt permit us to perform our hajj
People don't have money akhi.
Don't say stuff like this; not everything in life is straightforward
Today things became easier by the grace of Allah (swt) giving Hajj access to many who would not have been able to handle what past muslims physically handled. In general humans used to be tough and real like steel and now we are being flakes and tolerate no hardship.
Easier? The tax is too much .....
the fact that the Holy Ka'aba is not even a perfectly square building, yet throughout history it has received the most visits from people around the world proves that it's a truly sacred mosque. I wanna go there again.
Amazing❤
Inshallah will try to perform kinda hajj in my life whenever Allah calls me to his kabah shareef and beautiful Madina tayyibah❤❤❤ especially without phones
May Allah grant you speedy recovery and recuperation.
Itu leluhur nenek moyang saya....banyak dari Jawa Barat..........kalau mau ibadah Haji...ramai eamai naik kapal Laut ke Arab...bawa beras bawa bawa bekal yang banyak......
Makes me appreciate man made transportation that can get me there. All praises being to Allah alone.
All praise goes to men for inventing modern transportation... Best Thing Allah was Able to come Up with was Camels
MashaAllah TabarakAllah....
May the peace of Allah be upon them all.

I am so glad that it is easiernowdays ALHAMDULLILAH and may the shaheeds be granted Jannah tul firdaus of ALLAH S.W.T wills Ameen.😊
Great Mashaolloh 😮
If I could I will love to do Hajj like them (1928). Nowadays everything is so luxury (especially the hotels, foods). Its like going for a short vacation.
Edit out the uncovered women
Subhanallah❤❤❤Old but Gold
0:55 Those are not Bedouins, they are African Pilgrims who settled in Mecca. They can’t afford to go back to Africa after fulfilling Hajj since they’ve spent all their savings. You will find many different ethnicities in Mecca and Jeddah to this day.
MAA SHA ALLAH OLD HAj
Absolutely beautiful.
Subhan Allah that man died after he completed the Hajj the journey was harsh but he made it Alhmud Llah

It's ridiculous that the Black Africans shown just outside Jeddah (including the bare breasted woman on film) were labeled as "bedouins" when they were more likely slaves.
Back in the old days that going to preform hajj was a trip that was tremendous as my parents go to school back in the 1938
The faith of Muslims is amazing. Allhamdullilah
Thanks to Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 is now very easy and able to manage masses in millions of people.
ماشاء الله ❤❤❤
the People you see in the video are all already in their grave😢
😭
Ok.trims master
MashAllah ❤
In my country, in the time of my great grandparents, afaik, every time someone go to pilgrimage to mecca for hajj. There will be a kind of thanksgiving party but in restrospect that the one going to mecca is considered "going home to his creator" since it would take minimum 6 month of journey to mecca, by sea
But why include that naked women's pic
And also the ending scene where supposedly women are going for a bath
It doesn't seem to be men. Need to be deleted
Agree 👍
I was so confused seeing her. I was like is this real? I'm not even dirty minded. But why is she sitting naked in front of a guy? I mean back than they didn't know anything about camera but still she is still in front of people 😩
@@jojos9788 I think they are badi3
what, didn't notice
Subhan Allah this is the real Hajj.
May Allah forgive those who perished in these clips and grant them jannatul firdouse and all ummah who came before and after them 🙏
Thanks
Thanks for sharing such an old video. The person who was buried in the sea must have died on return journey on boat.
Please remove the part where the body is being washed as this will probably be taken down otherwise
The girl who sitting half nude you saying its Saudi shame on you who uploading that and mix that type video with hajj
This is not seen of hajj they are enemies of Muslims who add video of nude girl with hajj video time 1 minute on video
Subhanallah we truly have it easy nowadays.
Alhamdulillah...

I remember as a kid the hajj people was gong in three month hoever they could get in mekka so beautiful

Everyone you see in this video has returned back to Allāh and are most likely forgotten.
Our life is so short, we have to turn to our Lord and follow the Sunnah of our messenger (peace be upon him) even if the people go against us.
Agree
Machaallah ❤❤❤
I wish I performed hajj in those days like my great great grandfather did.
Masya Allah.. Allahu Akbar! Those who go haj are truly blessed; and in the past, their efforts and sacrifices were even greater.
Btw, I saw at least one Indonesian man in the ship where the deceased was taken care of. It is because of his 'kopiah' or Indonesian fez. It must be double harder for Indonesian people to go haj in 1928, where we were still colonized by the Dutch.
