Kidding! It’s written by me, Aliasgher. But how did it make you feel when you read the first line? Did you want to ignore what was written, or were you interested in seeing what this post was about? I bet the true answer was somewhere in the middle, at least with the people in my circles, who seem to be tired of reading AI-generated messages. Some find it truly humorous that people copy/paste from their AI assistant and share their responses with the world. They argue, at least try and edit the post, will you? I think the majority of us are also smart enough to know when a post is written by AI. The style of writing, the additions of emojis in specific locations, the numbered emojis, and the bolded words are all prompts that this was edited or written purely by the AI. So, can we get some originality, please?

Iqbal’s message on Hajj

Beyond Ritual, Toward Revival

Beyond Ritual, Toward Revival by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to the House of Allah (SWT), is not merely a journey of miles but a journey of the soul. It is a call to every Muslim heart, echoing across centuries, summoning us to the Kaaba’s stones and the very essence of faith. Yet, in our times, how often has this profound act been reduced to a checklist, a ritual performed, a duty discharged, its spirit lost in the clamour of routine? Allama Iqbal, the poet-philosopher of the East, wept for this very loss. His verses, drenched in longing and pain, urge us to rediscover the true meaning of Hajj – a meaning that transcends rituals and awakens hearts.
