Muhammad Sameeh Okaz/Saudi Gazette HOLY SITES — An old Algerian grey-haired pilgrim has vowed that he would not let his age stand in the way of performing Haj with his mother. At the outset, when the very idea of performing Haj with his mother was considered by him, he believed in Allah and knew that Allah would not let him down. His old and frail mother, who is too old to walk or move, was overjoyed when her son told her they would perform Haj together. Despite fatigue, he kept pushing the wheelchair of his 85-year-old mother all through the Holy Sites. They stood together in Arafat and prayed and supplicated that Allah would accept their Haj and bestow His mercy on them. He said he can't describe the feeling of happiness after fulfilling Haj with his mother. “Feelings overwhelmed me when I and my mother stood in Arafat at the same time,” he said.
