Luring pilgrims

A couple of years back Hajj pilgrimage was facilitated by a few private travel agencies whose number is increasing day by day. On 3rd June 2010 a huge advertisement by a travel agency has shown various facilities of traveling and lodging provided for Hajj and Umrah aspirants in holy Makkah and Madina. The agency has shown pictures of the pilgrims enjoying luxurious stay arrangements and eating delicious  dishes etc.
As per Holy Qu’ran the Hajj obligation is entirely for seeking blessings of Almighty Allah and as a result hoping for His forgiveness. Besides Hajj and Umrah have higher spiritual value than that of physical prayer, so how it suits to show the comforts for luxurious lodging arrangements for enjoying delicious foods etc.? People don’t go to a picnic tour or for business.
