"And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -" ~ Qur'an 22:27

HERE WE COME O LORD

Hajj

 This week, millions of Muslim pilgrims from across the world will chant - Here we come, O Lord as their response to the millenniums-old Divine invitation to accept the One Loving God as the Creator of all. 


 During Hajj, Muslims commemorate the life and legacy of Prophet Abraham. They also celebrate the timeless Abrahamic history, the universal Abrahamic teachings and the socio-political dimensions 
embedded within the rituals of Hajj.
