Hajj Series Part 12: Pearls of Hikmah (1)

Random Quotes from “The Difficult Journey” by Ahmad Thomson (Indonesian edition: HAJI, Kelana Mencari Ilahi)

I brought several books to the holy land, to finish while I was there. One of those was this book. For so long the book was there on my bookshelf and it was the perfect time and place to finish reading it.

It's about a man who went by foot for hajj. I noted several quotes that relate to me so much. I felt the same. And surely millions of people felt similar too.

Although it might not mean anything to you, I recorded this as part of the documentary of my journey. For what it's worth, I hope you find this beneficial in any ways.
