Subhaan’Allaah! The millions of believers who might have been sitting on sofas, travelling in cars, using air conditioners and other luxuries back home are seen today as pilgrims – guests of Allah, sitting on rocks under the scorching hot sun, covered in dust, they’re travelling on foot, suffering exhaustion because of the crowding together of thousands of people and bearing many hardships to fulfill the obligation of Hajj which is ordained by The Majestic Lord reminds me of an ayah where The Supreme Lord declares the status of mankind…
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ
O mankind, you are THOSE IN NEED OF ALLAH , WHILE ALLAH IS THE FREE OF NEED, THE PRAISEWORTHY. (Qur’aan 35:15)
