Embracing the Journey: A Personal Reflection on Hajj

​Embarking on the Hajj pilgrimage is a transformative experience that tests one’s faith, endurance, and humility. The journey begins with donning the ihram, a simple white garment symbolizing purity and equality before God. Standing on the plains of Arafat, pilgrims engage in deep reflection and supplication, seeking forgiveness and spiritual renewal. The act of casting stones at the pillars representing Satan in Mina signifies the rejection of evil and a commitment to righteousness. Throughout the pilgrimage, the sense of unity is palpable as millions from diverse backgrounds come together with a shared purpose, reinforcing the bonds of the global Muslim community
