We made it to day 5 of the Hajj! The final day of this holy Islamic pilgrimage.
But there is one more significant stop that many Muslim pilgrims will make before heading home: the city of Medina.
Did you know that Medina is considered the second holiest city in Islam, after Mecca?
Why is this city so significant? Largely because it is home to:
- The prophet Muhammad's gravesite
- The Islamic University of Madinah
- Three prominent mosques
As Muslim pilgrims visit this city, visit Muhammad’s grave, and reflect on the past week, may their eyes be opened to the emptiness of it all.
This is the last day of prayer. Let’s pray prayers that reflect the size of our God.
May Muslim pilgrims not go home from the Hajj until they have encountered the One they truly seek: Jesus Christ.
Let it be, Lord.
