İsa Demirhan, a Turkish SMA patient, has fulfilled his 16-year-long dream of performing Hajj. Despite his condition, Demirhan said his illness does not prevent him from completing the pilgrimage.

Using a wheelchair, Demirhan traveled to the holy lands with his family and support from Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs. “We registered in 2009 and waited nearly 16 years,” he said.

He encouraged others with disabilities not to hesitate: “If there are pilgrims worried due to a disability, they shouldn’t worry. Allah eases the way. The state and Religious Affairs are improving support every year.”
