Self development
Sheema Khan's story of the effects of performing the hajj is very inspiring but like tales of miraculous cures from snake oil doesn't deal with those millions of Muslims who have performed the hajj without any benefits whatsoever. However her story was worthwhile until the last line which was "Let's hope our politicians take heed". Instead of politicians, she should have encouraged the Imams, Muslim community leaders and individual Muslims to take heed and develop the atmosphere needed to reproduce as best as possible the benefits of performing a hajj like ritual right here in Canada. Each Jewish house has an amulet (called a Mezzuzah) on the door to remind Jews that they should behave in their home as if it were a religious temple. Perhaps Canadian Muslims should have their own amulet to remind them to behave as if they had just performed the hajj.
