Hajj disrupted, Eid muted but the spirit of Adha continues

by SA’DULLAH KHAN

THERE is an overwhelming sense of melancholy experienced by over two million Muslims worldwide who had intended to perform the Hajj this year.

Believers typically come from every country on earth to attend the largest annual assembly of faith in Makkah.

This year, neither will the Hajj assembly be so large nor will it cater for any people around the world, except a thousand locals from the Hijaz.
