Aassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
This is Episode 4 of my Hajj series — and it’s a deeply significant one. I’ve now entered Mina, where the first phase of the actual Hajj rituals begins.
Mina, known as the City of Tents, is where pilgrims spend the night in simple white tents, stripping away all luxuries and distractions. It’s the first major step toward Arafat, and a powerful reminder of equality, humility, and submission to Allah.
🌙 What This Phase in Mina Represents:
A shift from preparation to actual participation in the rituals of Hajj.
A place to reflect, purify your heart, and mentally prepare for the Day of Arafat.
A powerful lesson in simplicity, equality, and collective worship.
At Mina, everyone — regardless of class, nationality, or background — lives the same way. This is where you truly feel the ummah moving as one.
