In the sea of pilgrims, hearts yearn for one thing: to come close, even for a moment, to the Kaaba. That nearness, that single touch, feels like it mends something deep within. And when the moment comes, it’s hard to let go. You hold on, knowing you might not return. But still, you step back, making space for others. That act too becomes a form of worship, giving, surrendering, and trusting that what was meant for you, you’ve already received.
