How does Dr. Ali believe the new features of the Eatmarna app impact the spiritual experience of pilgrimage?
**Interviewer:** Joining us today is Dr. Ahmed Ali, a scholar specializing in Islamic pilgrimage and technology. Dr. Ali, the Saudi government has recently added new features to their Eatmarna app, allowing pilgrims to book prayers at Masjid al-Haram, Riyaz al-Jannah, and even the shrine of the Prophet Muhammad. Some argue this digitization is a welcome convenience, while others see it as encroaching on the sanctity of pilgrimage. What are your thoughts on these additions?
Do you think using apps to book slots for prayer diminishes the spiritual experience, or is this a necessary step in our modern world?
