Subhanallah this was a deeply moving piece for me. it reduced me to tears at my desk at work, not because of its sad nature but because i actually felt envious of you and the people who were able to do such humble acts to ensure the best for others especially during hajj. inshaallah i hope to go for hajj this year and even if i experience a fraction of what you hav i will be tremendously happy. i believe that these are the gestures that humble us and remind us of our humanity. Jazakaallah for sharing your experience and advice. as salaamu alaikum.
