Hajj Reflection #3: Devotion

One of the things I observed was that the pilgrims who had come from various parts of the world seemed very devoted in their worship/ ibadah. The rich or the poor, the able or the disable, the young or the old (and the in-betweens); everyone puts aside worldly differences as they perform their Hajj rituals and allow physical and spiritual factors to intertwine.


Never mind the slight differences in culture, mother tongue, background or the act of solah, Allah is still the central focus and aim.  Nobody argues the main hajj procedures because we are all ultimately devoted to our one and only Lord.

And proclaim among people the pilgrimage; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path.
(Al-Hajj:27)
