The 2022 Hajj exercise has come and gone, leaving behind mixed memories that would linger on for a long time. The Hajj exercise is a sacred lifetime journey embarked on by all Muslims in fulfilment of one of the pillars of Islam which comes with so many benefits including forgiveness and blessings of Allah.
For two years, the annual Hajj pilgrimage was put on hold as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic which came with devastating consequences. In modern history, the annual pilgrimage has never been put off but due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the Saudi Arabian Authority imposed a ban in 2020 which was, however, lifted in 2022.
