What am I hoping to achieve?
When I’m lying awake in bed at night thinking about Hajj (which is most nights now), I feel an overwhelming sense of emotion. A part of me keeps thinking that the days are going so slow (my countdown is showing ‘72 Days till Hajj’), but then another part of me feels that I need each and every one of these days to partake in some sort of preparation.
Many of our friends and family members have been before, and everyone has advice or words of wisdom to share with us.
But everyone has the same underlying message, enlightening us on mental and physical preparation, and urging us to open our hearts to a spiritual awakening.
