This man walked 6500 kilometers from England to Mecca for Hajj
At the age of 53, a man from Wolverhampton in England has walked nearly 6500 kilometers to reach Mecca on time for the hajj. Leaving in the summer of 2021, Adam Mohammed has become a TikTok star in spite of himself thanks to a beautiful message and a great adventure!
Adam Mohammed reached the holy city last month, just in time to participate in the pilgrimage. He crossed ten different countries, accompanied only by a cart that served as a shelter and his courage.
A message of humility and courage
The man left the United Kingdom for more than 10 months with the only motivation to: “show the world that we are all equal”, a beautiful message of humility. Adam also built himself a cart weighing between 200 and 250 kg, used as a mobile home. The pilgrim shared and documented his challenge on TikTok. He received more than 400,000 followers, 2.8 million likes, but also where he was flooded with positive comments. A fundraising page was also opened, collecting more than £26,000 which will be used to fund solidarity associations.
