‎”The flow around the Kaaba ebbed to a stop. The human particles formed concentric circles around it, and the hum of chanting melted into silence. All I could hear was the distinct voice of the imam leading the dawn prayer, the rustle of clothes as we performed out prostrations, and the voice in my heart: ‘O God! Let this not be the last time we pray before the Kaaba!’” “Pilgrimage to Mecca” from National Geographic, November 1978
