asalaamu alaikum, i am confused about the deadlines for applying to umm ul-quraa, can someone explain this to me using examples? example, if i applied in the summer 2010 (before Hajj), i would get considered for October 2011. ok, but if i applied after hajj, like now, 2011, i would get considered for February 2012. am i right? what about if i applied this summer in 2011, why am i considered for October 2012 but not for February 2012? can someone just break this down for me... im really confused
