Mecca: After a 73-day journey by bicycle from Germany, the citizen of Syrian origin appeared before his Lord upon reaching Mecca and thus fulfilled his wish to be buried in the holiest city.
According to the World News Agency, 73 days ago, 53-year-old Ghazi Jassim from Germany made a journey to go to Masjid al-Haram on a bicycle, whose photos were also viral on social media.
For the pleasure of the Lord, he continued on the holy journey with steadfast independence and faced every difficulty with a smile. He was also telling about his journey on social media.
Ghazi Jasim could not control his emotions as soon as he reached his destination. Zar wa Qara offered prayers while crying and died during that time. His funeral prayers were offered in Masjid al-Haram and he was buried in the Holy Land.
On social media, he had already expressed his desire to die in Makkah and be buried there, and Allah fulfilled his wish.
