Allah made it new. When I was the first time, I enjoyed it and wanted to stay even longer. I think about Hagi and I feel like I'm there. When they set out on pilgrimage, I met them, and this was a pleasure to me”, she said.

I only did the work out of my pension for Hagi, where until I was 70 years old I worked and saved my income and went to Hadge with those savings. Hadn't been high for Hagi today. I hope to go to Hadge again, because that's where I didn't feel the tiredness”, says Derhem.
