In the next few days, Australian Muslims will be beginning their journey to take part in the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims. Faraz Nomani is a strategy and risk professional from Greenacre in southwest Sydney. He was born in Saudi Arabia and came to Australia 25 years ago when he was 10 years old. In this episode of Weekend One on One he talks about his own pilgrimages to the Hajj and his visit this year when he will be helping other people making the pilgrimage from Australia. He told SBS's Shirley Glaister why the Hajj is so important.
