07 My very personal experience of the Hajj

--:--
Safeera gets real and shares every aspect of her journey to Hajj.

The Hajj is a journey every Muslim must endeavour to undergo at lease once in a lifetime. After a 7 year wait, I share my experience of performing Hajj during the 2024/1445 season.

I share my journey to Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. The lessons I learnt, the bonds I forged, and about this journey of a lifetime. Tears are shed as I get very real about the emotions I experienced on my Hajj.

I hope anyone who ever goes on the Hajj finds this episode useful and inspiring.
