Sufi Radio | Hajj stories and reminiscences

On the bi-weekly unique radio program, Sufism: The Heart of Islam host Wendy McLaughlin talk to Sufis from all walks of life in order to find out what it means to be a practicing Sufi in America. She interviews all across from sufi teachers to lay practitioners to authors; as she says, in order to give her listeners “a more complete view of Islam than is shown in the conventional media.”

In spirit of annual holy pilgrimage, Hajj season, on this week's show (Monday, December 10) Wendy will host a trio of interviews from people who have completed the Hajj. It will include fascinating stories and reminiscences of the Hajj by Shaykh Nooruddeen Durkee, who took more than half a month to go by Ship from Detroit to Jeddah so he could be in retreat for that time before his first Hajj; he describes being on Hajj in the early 70's as one part spiritual homecoming, one part feeling like he was caught in a Mad Max movie.

Hajjah Noura Durkee tells of the thrill of accompanying her friend, a very courageous and tenacious woman who just happened to be blind, through the crushing throngs all the way up to the kaaba to kiss it.

and Amr Rashid describes making Hajj in a wheelchair, and then being humbled by the sight of a woman making tawwaf, circumambulating the kaaba, on all fours.

i can't wait to listen to their colorful, bizarre and sublime experiences from the sacred pilgrimage, Hajj!
