This is weird. I'm still not celebrating Mawlid, though.

I love and hate it at the same time.

On one hand, it’ll make everything easy and accessible.

In the other hand, Hajj is supposed to be an ancient tradition and one of the 5 pillars of Islam . I like to think of it as the one place where I wouldn’t want technology

Sounds very cool.

Gadgets will help the Pilgrims.
The majority of them are old boomers. They get lost in their pilgrimage, they forget their stuff and a few even die during their hajj.

It's thoughtful of Saudia Arabia for helping the Pilgrims' lives.

Yeah, I like that too; but at the same time, Hajj is one of those things where I don’t want technology.

I am totally against it. I don't think there should be any such thing as "transforming hajj". I don't think there should be any change.

Yeah. It’s one of those things where technology may make things easier, but ruins the entire “feel” of it.
