Member of Parliament from Embakasi Hon. Irshad Ali Sumra was among millions of muslims who have made the Hajj Pilgrimage to Mecca.
This is the third time the MP and his wife are performing Haj and he has been sure to update his Facebook followers all the way from Hajj. It is said that an estimated 2 million muslims have made the journey to Saudi Arabia despite fears of Ebola outbreak. The kingdom made sure they took measures to prevent the spread of the virus by denying Visas to people from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea – the three countries hardest hit.
The hajj sees huge number of muslims every year from around the world gather around the cube-shaped Kaaba in Mecca as part of a five-day spiritual journey meant to cleanse the faithful of sin and bring them closer to God.
Here is Honorable MP during the prayers.
