Adam Mohamed, 52, is walking from the UK to Saudi Arabia hoping to arrive in time for next year's pilgrimage. He has a custom-made cart in which he sleeps and carries his belongings.
His journey started on Aug. 1 from Wolverhampton, where he lives. Adam already reached the Netherlands and will pass through Germany, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria and Jordan. The journey is around 6,500 km and he is walking on average 17.8 km each day.
One day I just woke up and I said I am going to walk toward Hajj, toward Makkah, which is what I did, and to pray on the way and beg for Allah to give us mercy and forgive us as a humankind, all of us, not just one race, or one identity, or one faith, everyone.
A GoFundMe page was set up on Aug. 1 to raise money for his “Peace Journey from UK to Makkah” initiative and has raised nearly £30,000.
