“After struggling with sickness this year, I prayed that if God would cure me, I would make it to Hajj. When I finally arrived to the Ka’bah and laid eyes on it, I was sure God was with me. His invitation to Hajj and giving me the ability to touch the Ka’bah while being able to endure this journey was everyone I had dreamed of. This has been the purest and sweetest of blessings.”
