Each year, before Eid-ul-Adha, a rite called Kiswah, or altering the ‘Ghilaf-e-Kaaba,’ is performed. The remainder of the year is spent constructing the new Ghilaf. Shaista Lodhi was lucky to work on the new Ghilaf-e-Kaaba this year.
The anchor of the morning program shared a video diary of her time working on the new Ghilaf. The encounter was part of her Ramadan Umrah itinerary.
