Every year in Zol hija Muslims go on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia to perform their religious duty to god .So I interviewed some Lebanese pilgrims who were with the Bahaa campaign to ask them about their experiences on this holly trip.
The pilgrims were joyful in fulfilling their duty, as Souad Doha said:
“When we arrived to KSA at 4:00 AM we were very happy and excited since it was the first time every one in our campaign that visits this Holly land.”
The campaign manager took them to a large building that the campaign had rented for us .Then they rested for about 6 hours and went to the Haram and they prayed and did their pilgrimage duties.
They didn’t face any trouble in their pilgrimage since it was very organized and they did all their duties at night which was cooler than day, but sometimes they faced a cold or hot wind which was very harmful to them but their guide took them to shelters"
Climbing Arafat is an important stage in a pilgrimage which many pilgrims wait patiently to do as Souad Doha said:
"Our hiking on Arafat mountain was easy since we went up by a Pullman bus. Actually Arafat is not a mountain but a low land but it is its name .On the mountain there are stairs that facilitates our climbing"
After they finished their praying and duties the pilgrims headed shopping in the Madina shops .As Souad Doha told us about her shopping:
"In our free time we went to shops especially in The Madina. Mainly we prayed and went to visit our prophet's grave to pray.
We also visited some mosques which were very important"
Finally Mrs. Doha shared her opinion with us : "I gained a great experience, since it was a tremendous visit and it is obligatory for every Muslim ,and I wish that I go many more times and I wish that every one has the chance to go there."
