This sacred journey of Hajj this year feels vastly different as our hearts ache for the countless lives lost in Gaza. For eight agonizing months the oppressor has unleashed terror upon the innocent, casting a shadow over the holiest of pilgrimages for our people. In this sacred month of Dhul Hijjah, we must all be reminded of the profound significance of sacrifice in our faith.
