Senad Hadzic, A Bosnian national started his journey in December 2011 from his hometown near Sarajevo in Bosnia. It took him 314 days to reach his destination. He traveled 5650 Km, walked 7 countries, crossed two deserts with just a backpack weighing 20 Kg on his back.
He took a print of Holy Qur’an & Bible with him alongwith maps of different places, some clothes, a torch, flags of six countries he crossed and other little essentials. He always carried flag of Bosnia & Herzegovina with him.
For Qur’an, he said, “Qur’an was my visa for my journey” explaining how armies in Syria let him travel only because of Qur’an. He traveled 10-20 miles each day depending on the place he was walking.
Senad mostly walked day & night and often slept at Mosques, parks, public places and even sometimes at the streets.
He walked through Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and finally Saudi Arabia. His experience as a solo Hajj traveler was adventurous except in Serbia where people turned out hostile towards him and pelted stone at him because of his religion but he didn’t mind them at all and kept moving.
I walked in the name of Allah, for Islam, for Bosnia-Herzegovina, for my parents and my sister.” These were the words of Senad when asked about his intentions behind the journey. He defied the bullets in Syria, heat in Jordan, cold in Bulgaria, abuses in Serbia.
