Rawaa Mecca

Hassan Orid

“And I completed the pilgrimage.. The Holy Kaaba was a meeting, a meeting with myself.. My circumambulation was a search, and when I finished my quest, and after the quest, I turned aside to look at what was around me and meditate on my life… My pilgrimage was to be nothing but a ritual. And suddenly, yes, like water gushing out from the depths, transforming a gushing gushing from within my soul... I was drinking Zamzam water from a cup made of cardboard and I was looking at the crowds of those who were walking gently, and then they would soon run. Does everything I see make sense? And suddenly I stood up, repeating, Yes.. Is life only a response to God’s call.. He alone has no partner…”.
