Umamah Bakharia

Hujjaj have begun moving from Azizia to Mina this morning.

Speaking to Radio Islam International live from the planes of Mina, brother Faizel Mansoor from Groot Marico says the 45-minute bus ride entering Mina was truly beautiful.

“It was beautiful,when we were coming to Mina, right from the beginning you could see only tents,” says brother Faizel.

Mina is a time of reflection and collective advice from Ulama while using this opportunity for greater and positive changes in one’s life.

As the Hujjaj prepares for Arafah on Friday, brother Faizel expresses that it is a different spiritual scene and atmosphere for a Muslim.
