Truly honoured and blessed to be able to perform Hajj this year, Alhamdulillah.

Hajj is a profoundly life-changing journey symbolising equality, unity and our collective humanity.

Standing in the state of ihram – a simple unstitched garment – with so many millions of pilgrims from right across the world is a beautiful reminder of how we are all equal before God.
