Alhaj Akibu Quasim:
This Friday, July 7, 2023.
So far the group has been doing very well.
We have a fantastic relationship with one another, and everyone is looking forward to completing the rites on the 12th, insha’Allah.
From there we hope to visit the Grand Mosque again, and after that we will get ready for our trip to Jeddah.
Finally, everybody is accounted for.
(background crowd noise, chants and heat calls)
We are here live at our first day of the stoning.
This is Hajj 2023, 1444 AH, coming to you live.
And this is our vlog, from the newest blogger in town, Alhaj Akibu Quasim.
May Allah accept our Hajj, our sacrifices, and our supplications.
May Allah bless the Awwal Bayt family, and may Allah bless every member of the group and their families at home.
Ameen. Ameen.
Conclusion
This is our last Jumu’ah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Insha’Allah, after the prayer we will make our final preparations to travel.
May Allah accept every one of us.
All men accounted for, Alhamdulillah.
Ameen.
