Uganda Muslim community members, especially those inKampalahave expressed disappointment over revelations that ill motivated people have been making sausages in pork and sell them in Muslim based communities like near mosques.

The ill motivated people have been selling these sausages made out of pork at a very low price in the process attracting many low income Muslim earners to access them.

The sausages were not only made out of pork but they were discovered to be poorly-processed and harmful to the health of people eating them.

The doctors inKampalatold us that the sausages were discovered to be containing bacteria like salmonella and E.coli. E.coli causes diarrhea, headache, nausea and vomiting and on the other hand salmonella may cause typhoid. The Executive Director of Kampala City Council Authority, Jeniffer Musisi has already asked the council to close down all businesses using pork in making sausages.

Paying Hijja is a must to every Muslim around the world. The Muslims who go to Mecca for Hijja first arrive at Jidah (town in Saudi Arabia) for clearance.

Sheikh Muzaata Bate, one of the Muslim leaders in Kampala says that from Jidah, Muslim pilgrims go to Mecca  or medina before they visit other places.

While Muslims are in Mecca or Medinah, they are required to put on Ihram (Hijja clothes). Women are supposed to put on white Ihrams while their counterparts the men put on unsown Ihrams.

Muslims also visit Minah city and sleep at Arafa on the 8^th day of the month of Dhul. Muslims are also required to fast for at least a day while at Arafa before they go to Muzidalifah city and also have a night there. Muslims also kiss a black stone, throw stones at Jamarat (a place where they believe Satan lives) and later they walk around the Kaaba seven times.

Able bodied Muslims also have to run the distance between the town of Marwah and Safah and whoever finishes the running as to laugh loudly in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim who was told to sacrifice his child but later God gave him a lamb to sacrifice. Hijja cerebrations last for 12 days during the month of Dhul.
