00:00Alhamdulillah, you know, I've traveled to Saudi Arabia on many occasions. I've been for Umrah, I've been to Riyadh, but
00:07this experience of hajj, it's really something else. I really have to commend the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the custodians
00:16of the haram for what they are doing for the Muslims from around the world. They pour their hearts out.
00:22I think you're here of Arabian hospitality, but I think you really want to feel Arabian hospitality, you've got to
00:27be here for hajj.
00:28This is Arabian hospitality. Everywhere we go, you know, everybody greets you with a smile. Everybody's looking to assist you.
00:36I think, again, you know, really want to commend the custodians of the haram because the amount of people that
00:43have been employed to look after the hajjj and making just making our trip really, really a wonderful experience.
00:50I think the objective for us to come here and make this journey is really to come in and pray
00:55and fulfill our obligation for the hajj. And with everything that has been taken care of for us as visitors
01:03to the kingdom, it makes our journey of fulfilling what we need to fulfill the purpose makes it easy for
01:10us.
01:11We don't have to worry about any logistics. Everything is taken care of for us.
01:15You know, alhamdulillah, I think looking at the different, you know, nationalities from around the world, you can see, alhamdulillah,
01:22how Islam is spreading.
01:23Because I think if I look back at the times that I've been here for Umrah or, you know, meeting
01:28people in hajj, you can really see the true humanity and true Islam, which is people from, I've met people
01:35from Montenegro.
01:36I've met people from Kosovo. I've met people from different parts, Eastern Europe, South America, you know, my fellow competitors
01:43from North Africa, Southern Africa, South America.
01:46I mean, every part of the world you can think of, alhamdulillah, you know, you can meet the different people
01:50and everybody with a common purpose.
01:53The first thing everybody does, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, peace be upon you, and thereafter the conversation starts.
02:00So we are really grateful and alhamdulillah, again, my deepest gratitude to the custodians of the haram for doing what
02:07they're doing.
02:08And may they continue, continue looking after the hujjaj, and may every hujjaj or every hajj that is here, may
02:15their hajj be accepted.
02:17And may we continue to be the, what we want to do for humanities.
02:23We want to show the world this is what humanity is about.
02:26Alhamdulillah, it's a great opportunity, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts.
