Q: Lately, there was a movie documentary that was released on hajj. This documentary was compiled using videos captured during this year’s hajj (2023), and it was being shown in the cinema in Killarney Mall in Johannesburg.

It is said that the purpose behind the production of this movie is to educate Muslims and non-Muslims regarding Islam and the beauty of hajj.
