Muhammad Abdul Karim is a humble man from Afghanistan who has worked as a plumber in Saudi Arabia since the age of 19.
For over 37 years, "Hajj Muhammad" has faithfully performed the five daily obligatory prayers at the Prophet's Mosque, always standing in the very first row directly behind the Imam—meaning he has performed more than 45,000 obligatory prayers.
He takes leave during the month of Ramadan to dedicate his entire time to the Prophet's Mosque, where he serves pilgrims performing Umrah and devotes himself to the worship of God.
He provides *Iftar* (the meal to break the fast) to those fasting during Ramadan, as well as on Mondays, Thursdays, and the "White Days" (the middle three days of each lunar month); furthermore, he always takes great care to organize and arrange the copies of the Quran within the Prophet's Mosque. ❤️
🗣️ Kalidou Koulibaly shares a crazy story about Maurizio Sarri:
“I will never forget the day my son was born. My wife had gone to the clinic in the morning and we were playing against Sassuolo at home that same evening. We were in the middle of a video session and my phone kept ringing. vibrate.
My wife called me 5 or 6 times. I then rushed outside and my wife said to me: "You must come, our son will be born". So I went to see Sarri and I said to him: "Mr., I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, my son is going to be born". He looks at me and says: "No no no. I really need you tonight Kouli. You can't go". I insist: "It's the birth of my son sir.
You can do whatever you want with me, hang me I don't care. I'm going". Sarri, who is stressed, smokes smokes smokes, thinks, and finally says to me: "OK, OK, you can go to the clinic, but you have to be back for the game tonight, I need you Kouli.
I arrived at the clinic at 1:30 p.m. and thank god I arrived in time to attend the birth of my son. It was the best day of my life.
At 4 p.m., Sarri called me back and asked me to come back, My wife needed me but she still allowed me to join the team at the stadium. Then when I entered the locker room, I saw Sarri displaying the score sheet. I'm looking for my name and there, and my number is not there. I say to him: "Sir, you are joking I hope? My son, my wife, I left them, you said you needed me". And there he answers me: "Yes, I need you... on the bench". I think about it now and feel like laughing. But at that moment, I wanted to cry.”
A trader's shop burned down in Algeria 🇩🇿 where he lost all his life long savings. However, to the surprise of people, rather than screaming about his loss, he requested water, performed Wudu and offered 2 Nafal.
Later he said, if I have to cry, I will cry in front of Allah ﷻ Who has the power to return more than what I lost.

✈️ The plane won't fly without Amir! 🕋
Hajj flight turned back twice until Amir was boarded.
A young Libyan man 🇱🇾 named Amer was traveling for Hajj when he encountered a security issue regarding his name during airport procedures. 🛂
Security told him, “We will try to solve it for you, but you have to wait with us a little while.” ⏳
Meanwhile, the other pilgrims 🧕🧔♂️ completed their procedures, boarded the plane, and the door closed. 🚪✈️
Minutes later, Amer’s issue was resolved ✅ — but the pilot refused to open the door for him, and the plane took off. 😞
The security officers tried to comfort him, saying,
“Allah is victorious; He does not make things easy for you.” 💬🙏
But Amer, filled with determination, replied,
“I intend to perform Hajj, and In Sha Allah, I will go.” 💪🕋
Suddenly, they received a report: the plane had a malfunction ⚠️ and was returning! 🔁
It landed and was repaired 🛠️ — but the pilot still refused to open the door. ❌✈️
The officer said, “It was not meant for you.”
Again, Amer stood firm:
“I intend to perform Hajj, and In Sha Allah, I will go.” 🤲❤️
The plane started moving again… 🛫
Then came another report: a second malfunction! ⚠️⚠️
It turned back once more. 🔁
At that moment, the pilot realized what was happening. 🤯
Finally, he said:
“I will not fly without Amer.” 🗣️✈️
At last, the plane took Amer to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, and his Hajj journey began. 🌙🕋✨
