The Hajj pilgrimage is an event where Muslims are able to fulfill one of the five pillars of Islam.

For these people, it was where they would unexpectedly reunite after a long time.

A video shared on social media by the Shehab News Agency shows a Palestinian mother-and-son duo in an emotional reunion after five years of being away from each other:

The mother is one of the relatives of martyrs from Palestine, and was a state guest hosted by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, to perform Hajj this year.

After a long, emotional hug the mother thanked King Salman, describing being at Makkah for the Hajj a "journey of a lifetime" for her.

It is, indeed, a small world.
