Abdić and Čamdžić from Mecca: All our pilgrims are well and indescribably happy to be in this sacred place

(Patria) - All pilgrims from Bosnia and Herzegovina are feeling well and have all performed the Hajj, said Nedžad Abdić, journalist for BIR and Mediacentar of the Islamic Community in BiH, from Mecca.

- All our pilgrims are well, they have completed the Hajj rituals and are currently in their rooms after the Friday prayer, resting. We are recharging our batteries for the Tawaf al-Ifadah, which we will perform tonight.

This will be followed by the second stoning of the pillars. Truly an indescribable atmosphere when it comes to the Eid spirit - says Abdić.

He emphasizes that there is indescribable happiness among the pilgrims from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- I haven't had much opportunity this morning, given that the pilgrims are in their rooms, we are tired due to the very demanding walks, great physical exertion, and heat, but the pilgrims I have had the opportunity to talk to are truly full of happiness and completely fulfilled.

Somehow, the love for Allah SWT is felt, as well as the satisfaction of being in this sacred place - states Abdić.

Regarding the health status of BiH pilgrims, he adds, they are all in good health, resting today, in order to prepare for the Hajj rituals they have not yet completed.

- Eid Mubarak - said Nedžad Abdić from Mecca.

The main guide of the Office for Hajj and Umrah of the Islamic Community in BiH, Izet-ef. Čamdžić, says that despite all the challenges they faced - the main one being extremely high temperatures, thanks to the hosts - the Saudi authorities, the stay of our pilgrims on Arafat went perfectly.

- They stayed in modern air-conditioned tents, with unlimited quantities of both hot and cold drinks. They had the right atmosphere to dedicate themselves to worship - supplication, but also to enjoy our joint Arafat program, which included recitation of the Quran, a beautiful collage of Islamic songs, and of course, the main Arafat message from our reisul-hudžadž this year, the deputy reis-ul-ulema Enes Ljevaković.

All our pilgrims arrived at the hotel around dawn. And what is very important to emphasize and what makes us extremely happy is that they are all generally well and have all performed the Hajj - emphasizes Čamdžić.

He also notes that BiH pilgrims are mostly resting at the hotel today, where the Eid atmosphere they are used to in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not present, but they are still creating it within their capabilities.

- Tonight and tomorrow, BiH pilgrims will perform the main Hajj Tawaf and Sa'i, and after stoning the pillars on Sunday, they will slowly prepare to depart for Medina. The first groups of our pilgrims will head to that Saudi city on June 11.

This means our departure home is approaching. The first groups of our pilgrims will return to their homeland on June 16, and the return will be completed on June 22.

In general, we, from the Hajj organization, express our immense happiness and satisfaction, and on behalf of the Islamic Community, that all our pilgrims have performed the Hajj.

To all Muslims, members of the Islamic Community, our brothers and sisters in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Eid Mubarak - said Čamdžić.
