Brilio.net - Umrah is not only a spiritual journey, but also often a moment full of emotion and self-reflection. For some, being in the Holy Land opens up space for longings that have been buried.
This was felt directly by a woman who was performing the Umrah pilgrimage in Mecca. While visiting the Grand Mosque, she experienced an unexpected and very touching event.
In a video uploaded via the TikTok account @adeq_s, this woman is seen crying with emotion after meeting a man from Iran. Not without reason, the man has a face that is very similar to her late father.
He admitted that during his worship, he was indeed filled with feelings of deep longing for his father. Until finally the meeting seemed to be the answer to his prayers.

" I just complained, 'Oh Allah, I miss you'. I met a figure who looked very much like my late father at the Grand Mosque ," said the account @adeq_s, quoted by brilio.net on Sunday (8/6).
He believes that the touching moment was a form of love from the Creator. The feeling of loss he brought from home slowly turned into gratitude.
" Maybe that's God's way of treating my longing. O God, you are the most loving and merciful ," he added.
Although initially she just cried without explaining anything, the situation then became clear when the husband started talking to the man. He showed the photo of his late father to the man who made his wife sob.
" Didn't say anything, just kept quiet while crying. Then he asked what was wrong. My husband immediately explained and showed me a photo of the deceased. He was immediately shocked ," she explained to the netizen who asked.

The man whose face was so similar to the deceased turned out to be an Iranian citizen. His expression changed when he learned the story behind the tears of the woman who looked at him with emotion.
" Yes, an Iranian citizen. My husband showed me a photo of the deceased. He was shocked, and my husband said, this is his father who has passed away ," he explained further.
Despite trying to hold back her emotions, tears still couldn't be prevented when the moment of farewell arrived. After saying thank you, she cried again, as if letting go of someone so close to her heart.
" Yup. I held it in. But I couldn't hold it in. When I said goodbye and said thank you, I cried ," he said.
The brief but touching encounter was proof that worship in the Holy Land is not just about rituals, but also about inner healing. Longing that has been suppressed for a long time can come in unexpected forms.
Netizens were also touched because the woman was finally able to relieve her longing for someone who looked like her father. They even admitted that the Iranian man looked very much like the woman's late father.
