Thousands of people belonging to different cultures and nationalities coming from all over the world to perform Haj is truly an amazing feeling. Haj shows the unity of Muslims all over the world from Asia to Africa and Europe to Australia and America. Now faster means of transportation have made Haj journey easy but some people still set great examples of devotion and bravery. According to reports, walking a distance of 6,000 kilometer on foot, a man from Bosnia reached Saudi Arabia for Haj. 47-year-old Senad Hadzic belongs to a poor family living in a Bosnian village. He started his Haj journey on foot from his hometown in northern Bosnia in December 2011 to travel to Makkah for Haj. Now in October 2012 he reached his final destination, Makkah, and is performing Haj. He started his journey with only just 200 euros. During his long journey he crossed six different countries. When he was warned that he might face difficulties and danger during his journey to Makkah to perform Haj he simply replied I am not worried, these are the best days of my life, I don’t fear anything because Allah is with me.
