Hi:} It was me who put the original mention of "three pilgrimages to the mausoleum equal one Hajj to Mecca". Somebody deleted it from the Mausoleum page and now you have disagreed with it here too. I am not a Muslim so its not up to me to say whats true or not.
I got it from a travel website. A lot of Kazakh tourism websites make the same claim see examples. However one non-Kazakh site says it is a "local belief" {in Kazakstan only?) here.
Can I suggest a the alternative wording? "In Kazakhstan it is traditionally believed that three pilgrimages to the mausoleum equal one Hajj to Mecca but other Muslims dispute this, believing that only pilgrimage sites mentioned in the Quran itself are valid". Or can you suggest something better? Jameswilson 00:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
