Today, I join over 2 million Muslims in entering the state of Ihram (prohibition) as our Haj begins in the tent city of Mina. With the men draped in two pieces of unstitched white robes and women dressed in loose modest clothes, all class and race divides of appearance are erased, and prejudices of the mind neutralised.
I am not richer or poorer than any of my fellow Hajis, for our bags contain just an extra set of Ihram clothes (the two pieces of white robes), a toothbrush, a toothpaste, some medicines, a pair of slippers and a towel.

#HajWithKT: Inside a tent in #Mina, #SaudiArabia. Leader of the #AbuDhabi-based Islamic Cultural Centre addressing the #Hajis under him. 125 Hajis will be accommodated in this tent. https://t.co/RXye6zw2Kz pic.twitter.com/dmQFJ6n8lnMy dwellings are not swankier, for all 2 million of us are housed in standard-issue tents. In the tent allocated for our group of 125 pilgrims, 125 mattresses are laid out on the floor and there is not an inch of extra space for anything else. The living space for each pilgrim is slightly more than 5 X 2 feet. If I stretch my six-foot body, my legs will rest on the chest of the unfortunate pilgrim sleeping below me!
