4 May 2009
US President Barack Obama's paternal
grandmother, Sarah Obama, will perform hajj this year
along with her son Syed Obama.
According to a private TV channel, the 85-year-old
Sarah and Syed Obama are scheduled to visit Dubai
before traveling to Mecca for the annual pilgrimage in
November.
Performing hajj is one of the most desired wishes of
the US president's grandmother, the channel added.
Mrs. Obama was invited by the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
property tycoon Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim to perform the
hajj.
"I found out that she had not been to the Hajj, and
that she very much wants to go," the Hydra Properties
chief executive officer said.
"As my own mother is no longer with us, our family has
a spare place. So I invited her and she has accepted,"
Al Fahim added. "I'm very much looking forward to it."
Kenyan Sarah Obama, a Muslim known locally as “Mama
Sarah”, is an active participant in welfare and
charity programs. She lives in Kogelo, a tiny village
near the Ugandan border.
The Hajj is the largest annual pilgrimage in the
world. It is an obligation that must be carried out at
least once in lifetime by every able-bodied Muslim who
can afford to do so. It is a demonstration of the
solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission
to Allah (God).
