The Journey Supreme Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Hajj the journey supreme
A pillar of faith a pilgrim's dream
Once in a lifetime if able and sound
To the holy Kaaba, their steps are bound
A test of patience a challenge great
Enduring hardships and accepting fate
Through Mina Arafat Muzdalifah's night
In every ritual we find Allah's light
Orbiting the Kaaba in Tawaf we spin
A symbol of unity a world within
From every nation race, and creed
In Hajj all differences recede
In the sanctity of this holy quest
We seek forgiveness we find true rest,
Closer to Allah our spirits ascend
In this blessed journey beginnings blend
Hajj you teach with lessons profound
In every step, sacred truths are found
A journey of faith, where hearts are healed
In the presence of Allah, the soul revealed
