Malaysian Pilgrim Finally Achieves Decades-Long Dream of Performing Hajj
In a heartwarming tale of perseverance and family support, 66-year-old Malaysian pilgrim Mohammed Safwan from Johor is finally living out his dream of performing Hajj.
Having worked as an aviation safety technician for Malaysia Airlines, Safwan found himself with little savings after retirement as he continued to support his family.
But when Malaysia’s government gave the green light for Safwan to embark on his Hajj journey, his children stepped up to the plate, raising $26,000 to make his dream a reality.
Reflecting on this incredible gesture of familial unity and love, Safwan expressed to the Saudi Press Agency, “Nothing compares to the unity and strength of a family, and no joy can match the elation of realizing a dream cherished by the closest of people.”
